SOS Workshops: Notes and Discussion

[jameskbh]

Thanks for the amazing summary!

I will leave some comments here too.

@TempeTechie

Who can work on this objective:

• Offchain Labs
• Arbitrum Foundation
• DAO contributors (at least until the end of the D.A.O. Grants program)

What work is already underway:

• The D.A.O. Grants program
• The hackathon program by RnDAO
• Offchain Labs & Arbitrum Foundation internal work:
  • Stylus workshops at crypto events and conferences.
  • Recently, Signal has been onboarded, presumably as part of the internal builders funnel at OCL and/or AF.
  • It would be good to get more information on how that funnel at OCL and AF works.

We could add the AGV as an AAE here, and try to get KPIs from them as well cc @Insomniac

Another point that seems a low-hanging fruit, and we can add to our to-do list (Gaps / Areas for improvement): compile what is already available. Maybe @JoJo already have it.

@maxlomu

80% of all funded tools/infrastructure integrated into official documentation and portals

The same applies here regarding the addition of AGV to the mix. It is our biggest bet on that vertical.

@TempeTechie

Objective 2: Build Distribution Channels

@maxlomu

KPIs:

• Secure 3–5 strategic distribution channels / programs within 12 months; onboard 2m+ new users via these channels in 24 months.
• Experiment with 5+ offline distribution channels: onboard 500k new users via these channels in 24 months.
• Achieve full onboarding of a user with funds to Arbitrum in < than 60 seconds

Who can work on this objective:

• Offchain Labs
• Arbitrum Foundation
• DAO contributors

Regarding Objective 3’s Gaps and areas for improvement

@TempeTechie

Objective 3: Support DeFi Renaissance: Increase Liquidity & Connectivity

Gaps / Areas for improvement:

• The DAO can choose to allocate part of the treasury as a liquidity boost for a select few Arbitrum dApps it wishes to support. This could be executed either by Entropy or by a service provider selected by OpCo. While this option is higher on the risk curve, it could benefit the Arbitrum dApps ecosystem.

To the best of my knowledge, the DAO doesn’t have full visibility into the areas that need improvement. For example:

• Which on-ramp/off-ramp channels are currently active on Arbitrum?
• Which DeFi sub-sector are we behind the pack? LSTs? On-chain options?
• Which currencies are already onboarded?
• Payment options?

** Objective 5**

This would be my 2 cents here:

KPI 1 - This is a good point to be handled by the TMC (Entropy) and DRIP.

KP3 - AF + the DAO Contributors through the Events Budget.

@TempeTechie

Objective 5: Promote a Network of Onchain Businesses

@maxlomu

KPIs:

• 25+ protocols providing active liquidity for ARB trading pairs
• 10+ successful cross-protocol products launched leveraging ecosystem composability
• Host unified Arbitrum ecosystem presence at 3+ major industry events annually

Who can work on this objective:

• ? (We are unsure which entity should take the lead on this objective.)

IMO, it was a productive call, and we need to have more contributors (ideally, from all AAEs and current initiatives) there, so we can have a better view of what is being done and who owns the information.
