This is a great program for the DAO and this iteration looks very solid. It is a great idea to include Orbit, we should continue adapting this program with the ecosystem’s evolution as time goes by. I would only suggest increasing grant allocation transparency and to be more focused on the real impact of funded projects.
It’s great to add a new metric for the program, however instead of emphasizing completion rates alone, grants should prioritize projects that make measurable contributions to the ecosystem. Measuring growth in transaction volume or liquidity and onboarding new developers and users could help assess real traction.
On transparency it could be helpful to have detailed criteria for grant selection such as alignment with each of the domain’s objectives, the expected scalability of the project, and its potential ecosystem impact. Improving visibility into the decision-making process could also enhance accountability.
These developments would help in making sure that resources are allocated efficiently, and it will raise meaningful and measurable contributions to the Arbitrum ecosystem. It’s great to see this program’s continuity.
