Thanks for this detailed Strategic Objective. We appreciate the vision to further operationalize the DAO, giving continuity to the OpCo initiative. This is really important as we can see accross the entire ecosystem how efforts and resources are wasted due to lack of specialization and coordination.
Regarding increasing governance participation, we think this is one of the most critical issues the DAO will be facing in the coming months/years. As outlined in the recently published Governance attack risk analysis by Nethermind, the votable supply of ARB is increasing fast, hence quorum. Models suggest in the near future many DAO proposals won’t pass quorum, especially Constitutional proposals. Governance staking will be a core tool to attract more participants and experiment with reward mechanisms.
Specialization of DAO participants is a fundamental development among DAOs. As DAOs evolve, the complexity and diversity of the initiatives will be increasingly higher. Therefore, DAO participants will need to focus on specific areas if they want to be more effective and impactful. We expect the current model where all participants are meant to be experts in all verticals will become progressively obsolete. That said, professionalization in specific verticals requires time and effort, and the DAO will need external qualified assistance for doing so.
This goes well in line with the improvements in decision-making and funding mechanisms. Specialized actors will be better grant allocators as they will be able to evaluate impact and metrics within their domain of expertise. This reinforces the vision of specialized working groups as both operational and funding entities.
Overall a well structured Strategic Objective that includes all required information. We consider it fit to move forward in the voting process.
