I have voted “For” this proposal. Due to the complexity of something like this I think it completely reasonable to run a pilot program to get more tangible information to base a more comprehensive framework on. There seems to have been a fair amount of work already put into this to show a serious commitment to the idea. I also believe the cost is reasonable. In short, I think this is a pretty low risk, low cost project that can lead to a lot of benefit down the line. And for that is worth supporting at this stage. Edit: Updating (5.21.2024) in order to save forum space. I am voting “For” this proposal on Tally as my opinion has not changed from the above Snapshot vote. I look forward to what the DAO can learn from a the pilot program. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/pilot-phase-m-a-for-arbitrum-dao/23588)._
