DAO Programs & Initiatives Operation Company (OpCo)

Hello Arbitrum delegates and stakeholders,

This is the March 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, March 6th at 3:00pm UTC.

Since the February update, we’ve been focused on hiring OpCo personnel, operationalizing the OpCo, and working in the DAO.

Hiring OpCo Personnel

  • We are actively recruiting for Legal Counsel and a Director of Finance and Treasury to accelerate and unblock DAO programs.
  • We are actively searching for a “Chief Chaos Coordinator” (Head of OpCo Foundation). We are actively interviewing multiple promising candidates for this role. With Tamara and now Sinkas on board, we are operationally driving the OpCo forward. When we find the right candidate for Head of OpCo, we expect them to complement and strengthen our existing efforts.
  • All open OpCo positions are posted on Lever.

Operationalizing the OpCo

Tamara and Sinkas have been actively driving the OpCo forward on several fronts, including:

  1. Supporting AAEs/increasing efficiency among AAEs
  • Overseeing RAD - paid out the rewards for the offchain DVP vote that took place in February
  • Renegotiated and updated the PM scope and compensation with SEED
  • Published RAD update for January
  • Working with the Arbitrum Foundation and Entropy to take over the ownership of the Code of Conduct
  1. Making the DAO exciting again
  1. DAO Strategy & Growth
  • Continuing to gather input for a cross-AAE high-level strategy
  1. OpCo Internal Operations
  • Establishing the timeline for OAT elections
  • We have continued weekly OAT member meetings with strong attendance.

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.
