[Proposal] - Grants: SpecOps Roundtable

After discussing with some delegates, a visual of how we envision the Roundtable sitting in the greater arbitrum dao seemed helpful.


You can see how a polycentric framework makes sense given all the initiates going on.

Also a reworking of timelines to allow for 3 “Seasons” in 2024 makes sense, with Introspective Review periods to pivot and course correct if needed, I will fold in.

Another topic that came up is when there is a conflict of interest for example a grant proposal from a competitor for any projects in that sector to abstain, should we have extended roundtable members to tap in/out in those scenarios, I think its a good idea, and will work that into the proposal as well.

Lastly, it has been raised that 500k may not be enough for an operational budget, will take a deep dive and revisit, also 1mm for Smart Contract Audits will not go very far, so will need to establish rules for what type of use cases qualify for shared resourcing spend. Will add this to the list of deliverables the Roundtable will be expected to produce.

Happy to have 1:1 discussions with other delegates as well, feel free to reach out via DM and I will set up time.
