Obviously real yield is preferable, but as has been discussed to death in [Proposal: Distribution of DAO Revenue to ARB Token Holders](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-distribution-of-dao-revenue-to-arb-token-holders/14412), it is likely not feasible with the current regulatory environment, and any proposal in that direction is likely to be contentious at the very least and put Arbitrum’s future as a going concern at risk if it passes.

This proposal sets up a technical framework for distributing real yield once the regulatory issues can be sufficiently addressed, and would give Arbitrum DAO some insights on user behaviour vis a vis locking and what is done with the received rewards. This is a baby step towards real yield, not a step away from it.
