Proposal to fund Plurality Labs Milestone 1B(ridge)
The @SEEDLatam delegation has decided to vote FOR this proposal at the Temperature Check
Rationale
We believe it’s important that the DAO keep pushing for grant programs that aim to efficiently distribute funds for grants at scale, which is why we appreciate the effort put into drafting this proposal and giving it another shot.
However, I do want to state that we do want to see quantifiable objectives for this proposal before it goes to Tally, these are not quantifiable objectives
I understand it’s a very difficult task to do so, especially since this program is, as its name states, “pluralistic.” Having specific KPIs might be complicated, but I think that since the idea is going to be to double down on winners, we could have KPIs based on the winners from milestone 1a so that we can effectively determine what programs are working and which aren’t.
That being said, I’m excited to see the progress that the team made since the start of the program and the effort put into improving this first milestone.
ARDC Members Election
The @SEEDLatam delegation has decided to vote for the following candidates to form the Arbitrum Research & Development Collective:
ARDC Risk Member: Chaos Labs
Although they are the only candidates in this section, they are highly suitable for the position due to their excellent risk background.
Their contributions, not only to the Arbitrum community and its DAO but also to important players in the ecosystem such as Aave and GMX, demonstrate the commitment and professionalism with which Chaos Labs is managed.
ARDC Security Member: Trail of Bits
We believe that their experience, their proximity working with Offchain Labs on security reviews, and the countless security contributions (for example: Retryable Tickets Bug Report) they have been making within the ecosystem positions them as ideal candidates for the position.
ARDC DAO Advocate: L2BEAT/Ant Federation
For those who are moderately active in Arbitrum’s governance, it is impossible to deny that L2Beat has played an extremely important role in the day-to-day running of the DAO. They have organized several Governance calls and provide their perspective/feedback on most of the initiatives that arise. Ant Federation’s joining the nomination reinforces this argument as they have also contributed significantly to the functioning of the DAO.
ARDC Research Member: Blockworks/Delphi Digital
Their contributions to the DAO and Blockworks/Delphi’s background in Research leave no doubt as to their suitability for this position. Both their reputation and previous work allow us to believe that they will do a great job together.
[Non-Emergency Action] Fix Fee Oversight ArbOS v20 “Atlas”
The @SEEDLatam delegation has decided to vote “Set L1 surplus fee and L2 min” in this proposal at the Temperature Check
Rationale
Based on the proposal, we see no reason not to implement both changes. Although the DAO’s revenue is affected, we believe that in a market where various L2 solutions are emerging, it is important to establish competitive advantages and maintain an economically sustainable network for users.
Front-end interface to force transaction inclusion during sequencer downtime
SEED Latam is voting FOR this proposal at the Temperature Check.
Rationale
Back in December 1, we asked for devs interested in pushing this initiative forward since it’s something we always say users can do on arbitrum, but in reality, it’s not the case since we don’t have a user-friendly frontend to force transaction inclusion during sequencer downtime. WakeUp Labs answered this call and we’re very excited to see it finally taking shape. As a delegate, I think the DAO should support devs more and encourage them to build on arbitrum.
One thing I think will be crucial in executing this proposal is ensuring good communication between the DAO and WakeUp Labs. Apart from this, we agree with @krst’s statement that this should be OS from the start. We’re down to help with anything that might be needed and are excited to see further developments.
