[RFC] Proposal to Adjust the Voting Power of the Arbitrum Community Pool & Ratifying the Agentic Governance Pivot

So the original 7M ARB was meant to empower human voters, but shifting to AI agents is a fundamental change that was never formally approved by the DAO? EH’s delegation has drifted from its original purpose, and this lack of alignment is concerning to me tbh.

I appreciate Event Horizon’s efforts, but using AI agents to vote on behalf of the DAO raises serious questions, particularly around transparency. We don’t have a clear understanding of how these agents make decisions, what values guide them, or where to see their voting record.

However, based on what I’ve seen over nearly a year in Arbitrum, EH has not caused any harm to the DAO with the 7M ARB delegation. And according to AI agent governance: Big challenges, big opportunities, agentic governance does offer certain advantages, such as fast response times and automated voting based on predefined criteria. I’m leaning toward option B, but maybe with a slightly higher delegation (like 500K or 1M ARB), along with:

  • A clear explanation of how the agents work
  • The logic or principles behind their decisions
  • A public dashboard showing their vote history

Before pulling all the voting power or fully backing this new model, the DAO deserves clarity :slight_smile:
