We vote for B - Reduce delegation to 100K.
Our primary rationale for supporting this proposal is straightforward:
Initially, the delegation of 7M ARB to Event Horizon had a defined purpose, to empower undercapitalized community members to meaningfully participate in governance. However, the significant pivot toward agentic governance represents a departure from the original mandate, making the reduction of delegated ARB a logical and necessary adjustment.
While our first inclination was to reduce the delegation to 0 ARB, we agree with Sinkas’s rationale for maintaining a minimal delegation:
This balanced view aligns well with our perspective that innovative governance experiments deserve measured support. A delegation of 100k ARB strikes an appropriate balance between fostering innovation and managing potential risks to DAO governance processes.
Regarding quorum concerns expressed by some community members, we recognize this issue’s importance but believe it should be handled separately. Decisions about delegation sizes for specific experiments like Event Horizon should not be influenced solely by quorum considerations. Should quorum attainment become challenging, the DAO can explore solutions like broader treasury delegation or adjusting quorum thresholds. Maintaining a disproportionately large delegation to any single entity solely to address quorum concerns may not reflect best governance practices.
In summary, we support reducing Event Horizon’s delegation to 100k ARB to encourage continued innovation while responsibly managing governance risks.
