Voting FOR this proposal with POAP
While we prefered without POAP, the current vote is decidely in favor of POAP and we prefer to see this go ahead even with POAP rather than without
While 15k for POAP is a little high, it does provide good gamified visibility and showcase Arbitrum, so can make sense.
other rationale:
- ETH Bucharest is a prominent Ethereum event in Eastern Europe:
- Sponsoring the event would give Arbitrum significant brand visibility and exposure to a large audience of developers, investors, and enthusiasts.
- The proposal includes a variety of activities that would promote Arbitrum
- These activities include a speaking slot, a workshop, a hackathon, and a POAP activation.
- Showcases Arbitrum’s Layer 2 Innovation
- By sponsoring the ETH Bucharest POAP Passport and minting the POAPs on the Arbitrum Chain, it highlights the platform’s capabilities in a tangible way
- Drives Engagement and Gamification
- Attendees collect POAPs at various activities, creating a gamified experience that encourages participation and interaction
- Enhanced Brand Visibility
- Branding the POAPs with Arbitrum’s identity ensures continuous visibility throughout the event
- However, many of the proposed activities included in the sponsorship package, such as speaker dinner and VIP area, are deemed unnecessary by many of the community members. The proposal should explore options to remove the events and lower the budget.
