I can see the tremendous work that went into developing these strategic objectives and appreciate the effort of bringing them all together @tempe.
At the same time, I truly believe that this is a lot of information to digest for anyone trying to engage and will prevent key stakeholders from being part of it. We need to have an easier way to engage for the overall goal of SOS. That being said, I love the direction of this post getting into the details and how we will accomplish all our goals. And both processes can complement each other perfectly.
For KR 3.4: To keep adding verifiable sources, we could count the monthly contributors on Offchain Labs GitHub repo. We can see these beautiful charts of each branch activity. However, the 2x target sounds vague to me. I would propose to compare with actual competitors - the reason is that sometimes it’s hard to know the overall ecosystem growth. If Ethereum grows 10x and we grow 2x, that would look like failure to me. We need something that aligns us more with market dynamics.
For KR 7.2: We can check on DeFiLlama as today the total value locked in DeFi is $2,678B. And in the same line as before, “double” sounds vague. I would say the objective should be to be top 1 - let’s aim for the stars, go big or go home.
For specifics of ARB im normally watching Live coin watch. That being said, they don’t give you the borrowed ARB for example - I would use Dune for that.
Imo when we are drafting our mission these metrics need to reflect our actual competitive position in the market, not only internal growth targets.
