The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
We’ll be voting in favor of the proposal and we want to request that the LTIPP council includes Curve in their monitoring. The proposal is well structured and the amount requested is reasonable, and we believe that it would be accepted within the LTIPP if it had been submitted to it, as also suggested by @coinflip. The matching of funds by @michwill also helps inspire confidence in the determination of Curve to successfully utilize the grant to drive growth of their lending product on Arbitrum.
We understand the concern raised by other delegates regarding setting a bad precedent of protocols applying outside of programs, but we believe instead of letting that drive projects (especially well-established ones) away from Arbitrum, we should focus on making DAO programs more visible and easy to discover.
