Hey all! I intend to use this thread to voluntarily disclose all my earnings that originate from Arbitrum DAO, since ever, and as they happen. This will include personal payments from the Arbitrum DAO to me, and also payments from organizations where I own equity in/that I control/am the beneficiary of, to me, when those organization’s earnings have originated from Arbitrum DAO as well. I will try to do this to the best of my knowledge, and to keep it updated as often as possible. As of December 1st, 2025, the total amount that I personally earned from Arbitrum DAO is equivalent to **$60,875.11 USD**. ---
