Security Council Elections – Mandatory Voting for DIP Incentives!
The Security Council Elections are approaching, and voting is a mandatory requirement for delegates to qualify for the DIP rewards. We all know the importance of Security Council elections for ArbitrumDAO, and delegate participation is key here.
Election & Incentive Eligibility:
Member Election (Starting April 12 – May 3, 21 days)
- Delegates must cast a vote in this phase to receive April and May incentives.
- Votes cast after 7 days will have a linear decay in points, reducing the incentive eligibility over time.
As around 90% of the election period takes place in April, we’ve opted to include this voting requirement as part of April’s scoring cycle.
Important: Participation in the Security Council elections will not form part of the Onchain Voting Participation Scoring. It will instead have it’s own module in the Karma Dashboard
Mark your calendar and participate.
Ensure your vote is recorded on time to maintain full incentive eligibility.
Plan ahead—late participation in the Member Election affects point accumulation.
Penalty System Details:
- Days 1 to 7: Delegates who vote during this period will not receive any penalty; their TP will remain unchanged.
- Days 8 to 21: Starting on day 8, the delegate will lose 0.3572 TP points for each additional day, up to a maximum of 5 points if they cast their vote on day 21. This follows a similar procedure to the one applied to Voting Power in this election.
Example: If the Delegate votes on Day 14, the penalty will equal 2.5 points in the TP Score
