> [@gauntlet](#): > > Our experience and various DAO’s attempts at delegation migration have proven mostly inelastic to redelegation Thats an interesting point, really great to draw upon your experience in governance across chains! Delegation is mostly sticky but with the upcoming ARB unlocks in March, I do see a nonzero amount finding its way to active delegates. > [@gauntlet](#): > > Regarding a delegate race to the bottom, we are curious if you have an example(s) of this occurring. I can’t think of another case where the most powerful delegates have applied to be a service provider, so we are all breaking new ground here 😃 > [@gauntlet](#): > > Can you say more? We aren’t sure we understand. My larger concern is with the vortex of power / flywheel that is being created through this proposal. Revenue earned as service provider → Hiring Staff → Greater capacity to undertake delegate duties → More ARB delegated > [@gauntlet](#): > > Gauntlet can not pay employees in ARB or any other token including stablecoins. I understand it may not be a direct payment, but Gauntlet can offset payments to their employees with the revenue being earned via this proposal. > [@Camelot](#): > > A neutral and transparent process is a priority before locking in million-dollar commitments Overall i echo camelot’s point of creating an RFP before issuing million dollar contracts, to create a level playing field & ascertain needs assessment before getting into a financial comittments. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-the-arbitrum-coalition/19145)._
