[Non-Constitutional] [RFC] Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3

@WinVerse

We have been impressed by the team’s work so far. We’ve especially loved that New Protocols and Ideas wildcard. We also find the possibility of the fifth domain interesting. Not entirely sure where we stand with that but it sounds good.

it really happens that new protocols and ideas is a capture all type of bucket, but in the good sense, with some crazy ideas being dropped there in the last year. It has been fun so far And for the fifth domain: this is the reason why we are gathering feedbacks here, but also we will vote directly on having or not having it, knowing that any specific answer might just be reverted at some point in future with a new voting if the dao wants, because we really need flexibility in a 1 year program.

@WinVerse

If this prop passes temp check, could we get an updated metric on season 2’s completed projects before going to onchain vote in January?

Yes we will do our best to update numbers before tally so there is a clearer picture.

@WinVerse

Also, here, we believe you meant mid February

Yes. The timeline will be updated, because at it stands now, we won’t be able to have elections before Christmas due to the pause from the code of conduct. So elections will be in january, with the candidacy period during december, and likely program ready by mid february.

@0x_rebeca

Is there any internal roadmap for addressing user experience fragmentation?

Ehy Rebeca, this is more of a broad question for the DAO. As posted above there is a working group that is trying to answer questions like this one and other. While I see an overlap with the roadmap that OCL has created for us, Orbt is really a topic we are figuring out in real time, and any answer now might be different from any answer in 6 months - 8 months - 1 year. It will depend a lot on the lead of the domain and the vision he wants to apply, and this is why I am a strong proposer, for Orbit, to not have elections but appoint directly @maxlomu, because we need someone in charge able to deliver a vision.

@0x_rebeca

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on whether it would make sense to develop a more unified block explorer that offers insights and transparency across the entire Orbit ecosystem.

As per the above this would mostly be a question for the future lead of the Orbit domain. But yes, explorer are currently a painpoint. From an economic standpoint the program is not necessarily equipped to provide enough for a block explorer in a single chain (we still have a 50k cap), and in general if the team that is running the orbit chain is not able to directly pay for this infra, is highly unlikely that a grant can make a difference in this sense beside some short term relieve. Curious about what you are doing at routescan, but also a bit OT in this discussion, and I guess if we will have an orbit domain there could definitely be space to talk in more details.
