I voted FOR this proposal. Without delegate incentives, I believe the DAO would be wholly unable to pass constitutional quorum, thus blocking critical upgrades such as Arbitrum Stylus.
Governance participation is trending downwards due to natural forces. If a token holder who is currently delegated to an active delegate sells ARB tokens, there is no fundamental reason for the buyer to delegate. Therefore it’s critical that the delegates we do have remain active.
I’m hoping we can help address underlying token holder apathy via ARB Staking, but regardless I strongly believe delegate incentives will remain a critical piece of the overall governance participation puzzle going forward.
