Voting Rationale for “Constitutional AIP - Security Council Improvement Proposal”

Savvy DAO votes FOR the “Constitutional AIP - Security Council Improvement Proposal.”

This proposal aims to maintain Arbitrum’s “Stage 1” designation by L2BEAT by increasing the threshold of the non-emergency Security Council from 7/12 to 9/12. This change enhances the security of the Arbitrum ecosystem, ensuring that a higher consensus is required for non-emergency actions, thus mitigating risks. The proposal also aligns with the updated Stages Framework, ensuring Arbitrum’s continued compliance with best practices. This straightforward upgrade has no additional overhead for the DAO, making it a prudent and necessary improvement.

2. The pilot phase aims to reduce the risk of the initiative by validating key assumptions and engaging stakeholders, providing a solid foundation for the full-scale launch of AVI.
3. Experienced Team: The proposal is backed by a team with deep expertise in investment and ecosystem development, enhancing the likelihood of achieving its objectives.

Savvy DAO votes AGAINST the “Security Services Subsidy Fund Sub-Committee” proposal.

Key Reasons:

1. Duplication of Efforts: Establishing a new sub-committee duplicates existing efforts of the ADPC, leading to inefficiencies and potential overlaps in responsibilities.
2. Resource Allocation: The proposal requests 60,000 ARB for compensation over 8 weeks, which seems excessive given the proposed workload and existing compensation structures.
3. Delay in Subsidy Disbursement: The additional onboarding and election processes will delay the disbursement of subsidies, hindering timely support for security service providers.

Therefore, we believe this proposal does not effectively address the intended goals and could be streamlined within the existing committee structure.

3. Alignment with Ethereum: By supporting RIP-7212, Arbitrum remains compatible with Ethereum’s evolving standards and maintains its competitive edge among other L2 solutions.
4. Broader Adoption: Facilitating the use of secure and user-friendly wallets encourages greater adoption of the Arbitrum ecosystem by both crypto-native and non-crypto-native users.

Key Reasons:

2. Despite some concerns about the high costs and need for clearer outcome criteria, we believe the potential benefits of a centralized, user-friendly platform outweigh these issues.
3. ArbitrumHub has already shown significant progress and utility, and we trust that with continued improvements and community feedback, it will further strengthen the ecosystem. We support this initiative and encourage ongoing transparency and refinement to ensure its success.

See our proposal feedback here:

To strengthen the proposal we suggest to: Clarify the budget breakdown and how it aligns with the DAO’s strategic goals. Develop a clear strategy for gaining DAO adoption and participation. Outline plans to ensure that information rema…
