Hello Arbitrum delegates and stakeholders,
This is the June 2026 OpCo monthly update. I’m posting on behalf of the OpCo Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT), of which I am an elected member along with Patrick McCorry, A.J. Warner, Pedro Breuer, and Gavin Wang. Please feel free to reply with questions and comments.
We hosted the monthly DAO call on Friday, June 5th at 3:00pm UTC.
Since the May update, we’ve been focused on hiring OpCo personnel, operationalizing the OpCo, and working in the DAO.
Hiring OpCo Personnel
-
We hired Armin as Director of Finance and Treasury.
-
We hired a Head of OpCo, details to be announced in a future meeting.
-
We are no longer actively recruiting for open positions.
Operationalizing the OpCo
- Tamara, Sinkas and Armin have been actively driving the OpCo forward on several fronts, including:
- Supporting AAEs/increasing efficiency among AAEs
- Onboarded Armin to OpCo Finance and its Finance roles/responsibilities within the AAE setup.
- Making the DAO exciting again
-

Working in the DAO
-
In Entropy’s TMC proposal, the OAT “approves or denies allocation recommendations from [Entropy]”. We are actively fulfilling this responsibility.
-
In Entropy’s proposal to Work Exclusively with the Arbitrum DAO, OpCo serves as Entropy’s counterparty. In addition, 10M ARB are set aside for the OAT to negotiate directly with Entropy Advisors on establishing short, medium, and long-term incentive mechanisms. We are actively working to finalize incentive mechanisms for Entropy.
