Non-Constitutional: Proposal for Piloting Enhancements and Strengthening the Sustainability of ArbitrumHub in the Year Ahead

Happy new year ser! Thank you for your continuous improvements to the proposal. Regardless of the outcome, this attitude of addressing feedback from the DAO deserves respect from everyone.

This latest version of the proposal addresses my primary concern, which was the difference between ArbitrumHub and the Arbitrum Foundation’s official website, and it explains the necessity of ArbitrumHub’s existence.

That said, I still have some suggestions for the latest version of the proposal.

First, I believe this project inherently carries a public welfare purpose. The requested funds should primarily be used to sustain future operations rather than compensate for past work. Therefore, I find the $40,000 retrospective funding request to be somewhat unreasonable.

Second, I noticed you’ve set up five positions, but throughout 2024, there has been minimal activity on social media platforms like Twitter. This suggests that ArbitrumHub may lack influence in content operations. So based on our three years of experience running ANDAO, I believe the roles of “research” and “copywriter” would be better combined into a single position.

Finally, regardless of whether this proposal is approved, I hope you will continue operating. For funding, you might consider adopting a donation-based model, similar to ANDAO. If what you’re doing genuinely provides value to developers and users, I believe there will be people willing to support you through donations.
