Savvy DAO has voted FOR Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 2.0
REASONING:
- Acknowledging Early Efforts: The Arbiters were essentially the backbone of community management and support during Arbitrum’s early days, before formal roles were established. Given the pivotal role they played, it makes perfect sense to compensate them now. It’s not just about fairness, but about recognizing and valuing their contributions which were crucial in getting things off the ground.
- Promoting Active Governance: Although it’s tough to put a number on their exact impact, bringing Arbiters into the governance process is a smart move. They have a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to the platform which can significantly benefit the ecosystem’s strategic decisions.
- Celebrating Community Values: This proposal isn’t just administrative—it’s a statement. By allocating ARB tokens to these early contributors, we’re living up to our ideals of community, appreciation, and equity. It’s about saying thank you in a way that really matters.
- Setting the Stage for Future Participation: We see this proposal as a special case of giving back to those who have given so much. It’s not about setting a precedent but is a well-deserved nod to their unique contributions. Plus, we’re keen to see them stay active, helping steer the DAO with their insights and experience.
In essence, our vote is driven by a deep respect for the foundational work of the Arbiters, the strategic need to involve them in governance, and our commitment to the values of collaboration and fairness.
