We appreciate @Sinkas bringing this proposal forward and agree that the DAO should ratify Event Horizon’s pivot only after seeing hard evidence of how the experiment is working. To let delegates choose fairly between Options A, B, and C,
As @Euphoria noted, we would still like Event Horizon to deliver the bi-annual KPI report it promised last September, ideally before the Snapshot opens. A live Dune or Flipside dashboard would be just as useful, We appreciate Event Horizon’s update, but several essential data that we would like to learn more including:
- Full KPI timeline: for every proposal since September, number of active EH voters.
- Wallet-size distribution: counts and participation rates for ≤ 5 ARB, 5–50, 50–500, 500–5 k, and > 5 k bands.
Even if the published metrics would not materially sway this vote, they are still critical. Event Horizon originally received 7 million ARB so the community could test whether a “public-access voter pool” broadens meaningful participation. Without the promised data, the DAO loses a valuable opportunity to assess what the experiment accomplished, learn from it, and improve future initiatives.
Since Event Horizon has pivoted to an AGI-driven voting model, something never contemplated in the September 2024 mandate, their current role no longer aligns with what the DAO approved. In light of that fundamental change, clawing back the 7 million ARB delegation is reasonable. At the same time, as @JOJO noted, we must consider any knock-on effects this might have on the Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction proposal; thoughtful coordination is essential to avoid unintended governance disruptions.
but If the DAO decides to pull back the full 7 million ARB from Event Horizon, we shouldn’t let those tokens sit idle. Instead, We suggest exploring a plan to put the remaining 7 million ARB, currently counted toward quorum back into active use while still reinforcing our quorum threshold.
(1) Revive “(Re)delegation Week” : Open applications to small delegates with a proven voting record, evaluate them through the standard DAO process, split the 7M ARB evenly among those who meet the participation benchmarks then splits the 7M ARB evenly among them and run it as a pilot program for a three-month before being reevaluated.
(2) Redistribute the ARB to the top Delegate Incentive Program performers from the last three months who each hold under 100k VP, giving them a multiplier boost for a three-month trial.
For Option 2, we reviewed the past DIP results and compiled a spreadsheet to identify eligible delegates; eight individuals meet the criteria under this approach.
Below is the list of top performers whose average voting power over the past three months is under 100 000 ARB and whose DIP score exceeds 65. (Table)
In either case, the 7 million ARB would remain staked and actively used for voting, ensuring they continue to support our recent quorum adjustment.
