Arbitrum DAO Grants - Delegated Domain Allocation by Questbook
We voted in favor

Rationale
As a community, we agreed that this was a reasonable grant program - it was approved with 17 votes in favor, 3 abstentions, and 0 votes against. However, there’s one thing we think could be discussed further once the proposal is approved and that’s related to the Domains.
Domains
Currently, there are four domains offered by Questbook: Gaming, Developer Tooling on NOVA, New Protocol Ideas and Education, Community Growth and Events. We support the concept of doing this program as oriented as possible towards ecosystem development, however, we believe some of these Domains might not be the best ones right now.
We wouldn’t remove gaming since it does bring a lot of adoption. But we do think we could change Developer Tooling on Nova for something more generalized towards the development of Arbitrum Orbit, especially since we’re currently competing with OP Stack, so Orbit could benefit from this extra support. Then we wouldn’t remove New Protocol Ideas, but it would be good to verify that the Foundation isn’t working on something similar. Finally, we would remove Education, Community Growth and Events since we don’t consider this essential right now plus its impact is pretty difficult to measure within a grants program - we could instead have a Domain dedicated to research and development of account abstraction on Arbitrum.
Conclusion
We strongly support this proposal but we think there could be some improvements related to the Domains mentioned.
