Update on the Token Swap program: we’ve received a Firestarter grant to produce a Token Swap report and iterate on this draft proposal for Arb DAO.

I’m excited to work with @thedevanshmehta to progress this program further.

**About me:** I’m [LuukDAO](https://x.com/LuukDAO), a full-time DAOist since 2019, and Web3 builder since 2017. In the past, I led [PrimeDAO](https://www.prime.xyz/), a DeFi collective building tools for DAO to DAO coordination. We created [Prime Deals](https://deals.prime.xyz/), a dealmaking platform for DAOs in 2022, and went deep down the Token Swap rabbit hole, facilitating almost 10 Token Swaps, including deals between PrimeDAO and Gitcoin, BalancerDAO, and Paladin. We also conducted much [in-depth research on DAO-to-DAO coordination](https://medium.com/primedao/exploring-dao2dao-collaboration-mechanisms-c37218a17a21) with Blockscience.

Currently, I run [Kolektivo Labs](https://x.com/KolektivoLabs), a boutique venture studio, and lead Public Goods coordination for Celo and the Tokenomics Workstream for [SafeDAO](https://x.com/safe).

**Our aim for the Token Swap report and Program**  
We will produce an in-depth report on the history, taxonomy, and potential use of Token swaps for Arb DAO through the Firestarter grant. The insights gained during the report’s creation will be used to produce an updated Token Swap Program proposal that answers all questions asked in this thread and more.

We plan to at least cover the following topics in the Report:

- Introduction to Token Swaps
- History of Token Swaps
- Taxonomy of Token Swaps
- Highlight potential use cases of Token Swaps for ARB treasury
- Specify solution requirements for the initial ARB Treasury Token Swap program

**Seeking input**  
We’ll be interviewing individuals who have played a role in a Token Swap in the past, are part of Treasury teams of other projects, or would be interested in conducting a token swap with Arb DAO in the future.

If you’re part of any of these groups, or have other insights/input you want to share, please contact me via @LuukDAO on TG or a message through Twitter.
