Proposal for Financial Restitution For ArbitrumDAO Grant Winners

This is one of the problems I see with grant programs being made in the native token.
We are seeing the ARB tokens price is declining and more and more proposals coming up to fill the gap between their original proposal date and the current date.
If we will fill these gaps all the time, the DAOs runway will be destroyed within a short timeframe.
I have already advocated to take out loans against the ARB token in a safe manner and pay out in stablecoins. Its better for the DAO, better for grantees and helps the ARB token in terms of price movements.

The important questions out of this proposal are imo:

  • What is the total amount of the proposed compensation payments for all affected projects?
  • What measures does ArbitrumDAO plan to implement to prevent such delays in future grant rounds?
  • How will it be ensured that the additional funds are actually used for the originally planned projects?
