Rewarding Active Delegates (RAD) Program

I voted YES, but I want to mention that I agree with a lot of what @Entropy is saying, a voting reward detox could be healthy. But also the work has been done and this is a great foundation to build off… so why wait. I like that this vote is close and I think we win whether it succeeds or fails. :popcorn:

I also agree that we’ve spent way too much time talking about delegate incentives and I don’t want us getting stuck but I believe passing this through with clear rules and expectations should allow the DAO to focus. If this proposal fails, I hope we can shelf it for at least 2 months.

ALSO I want to reiterate that I would have loved to see a design that creates long term incentive alignment. Things like rewarding with locked tokens or even increased delegation. That’s the biggest thing missing in the current proposal.. but i think it could be added in later.

I think the DAO needs closure on this topic so we can focus on more meaningful work. RAD sets a baseline and lets us move on. The way I look at it is Arbitrum got this massive advisory board (delegates) to receive advice from.

Side note: It’s very interesting to know how much every vote will cost and how this will affect our proposal backlog and how the DAO will use delegates’ time. This system shows clearly how expensive it is to make a vote in the DAO and I think that is pretty cool.
