gm, thanks Seed for the proposed changes.
The 40% compensation reduction seems reasonable to me as the (passive) activity of a delegate has dropped significantly in recent months. On the new tier and changes proposed, I am in favor, though I’m less affected than other delegate: I’d like to hear their thoughts.
In anticipation of v2, I am looking forward to a mindset change from “delegates discuss in the forum and vote” to “delegates are contributors”.
I suggest (on the lines of what I wrote in the past):
— Min flat compensation for voting on snapshot and tally: the number of votes required will be much lower going forward.
— Structure and entry points for delegates to contribute, even if not full time / involved in the AAEs. There’s demand for activities like project support, mentorship, events, and new initiatives: delegates should be encouraged to plug into these. I’ve spoken to projects actively looking for this kind of help, and the DAO could fill that gap.
— Reward exclusivity. It still puzzles me how we treat the same people who work only for Arbitrum and people who also work for Optimism, zksync ecc.. Their opinion cannot be unbiased and fully committed to the success of Arbitrum.
— Mix USDC and ARB payment. We must share in the success and downsides of our own economy
