[Non-Constitutional]: Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 2.0

Proposals Finalized AIPs
23

Hello Ali and Treasure DAO ARC, @thechaingamer.eth

Thank you for your discussions and responses with Treasure DAO ARC. But arbiter would like to explain more to Treasure DAO ARC, other delegates and the community.

  1. What the arbiter had been seeking was a ARB retroactive award. However, due to legal and other restrictions after the airdrop, the foundation can only consider part of the arbiter’s contribution in the discord and provide limited USDC rewards to the arbiter.

And the arbiter only knows the amount after the USDC reward distribution is completed. The arbiter can only passively accept it.

When considering USDC rewards, the foundation only considers part of the arbiter’s contribution in the Arbitrum discord, and the evaluation metric is only the number of mesages that help community members. This does not include all contributions made by arbiters in the Arbitrum discord as well as prominent contributions outside of the discord.

  1. The Arbitrum Foundation stated that if arbiters believe that other contributions have not been retroactively rewarded, arbiter can seek remaining grant from the Arbitrum DAO.

Someone from foundation can confirm above info, if you’d like.

  1. Arbiter, as an early contributor, spent a lot of energy and time on the development of Arbitrum, and was even online for 16 hours every day during Odyssey. If this energy and time are focused on airdrop activities, arbiter believes that there will be more airdrop rewards. But arbiter chooses to practice the Arbitrum community spirit and focus his time and energy on promoting the development of the arbitrum community.

  2. The amount of retrospective rewards from Arbitrum to early adopters and ecosystem project airdrops, does not take any price into account.
    arbiter believes that it is unfair to tie the price of arb to arbiter’s retroactive rewards.

  3. The Optimism community attaches great importance to early contributors and has retroactively awarded 800,000 OP to four types of contributors: ambassadors, translators, Nerds, and TechNERD (contributors in the optimism discord between 2021 and 2023).

Of course, arbiter also takes into account the concerns and doubts of delegates.

But Arbiter faces more than 17 types of contributions, from 2021 to 2023, two and a half years of continuous contribution. There is indeed not enough ability to establish a reward evaluation system.

Arbiter also hopes to seek more suggestions and opinions from delegates on and evaluation system and the arb retroactive reward amount. (arbiter will continuing to reduce the retroactive reward amount)

In conclusion, the arbiter believes that the retroactive reward amount can be reduced. But it would be inappropriate to completely dismiss the remaining contributions of arbiters in the Arbitrum discord and the outstanding contributions outside the Arbitrum discord.

Finally, arbiter kindly ask the Treasure DAO ARC and other delegates to give arbiter more consideration, support and understanding.

Arbiter representatives will also participate in today’s Arbitrum public governance call, hoping to have more communication with delegates.

Best,
arbiter
