### Proposal (Snapshot): [Approve the Nova Fee Sweep Action](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xbd77b4faf99e06c7b4117e5dafaf5bb8f873bcffbb5c9d414a7ff745b6849f3a) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this proposal as it allows to move 1885 Eth (which were previously effectively locked due to complicated procedure) into DAO Treasury. ### Proposal (Snapshot): [Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x45513bb63946582432afa7213bcb2677e877dabbd5722210efd5eaf45797031c) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Stylus can potentially be one of the major drivers behind Arbitrum’s growth. We are confident that additional projects for participation were selected with care and great deal of diligence. Given the strong demand by a wide range of well qualified candidates it only makes sense to extend the program to fully realize its potential. ### Proposal (Snapshot): [Non-Constitutional: Stable Treasury Endowment Program 2.0](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xcbf1ea37e0665a44f7b880736333984d3e0672e93231df5ab0d2a8a5b844a73d) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this proposal, diversification is bread and butter of financial stability. ### Proposal (Snapshot): [[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x7cc26491a070c74c1a4ec5a9892571d31eb690015936a35b52c0d3a97bd5497f) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this proposal, it’s important for long term Arbitrum development to keep innovation aligned with Ethereum. ### Proposal (Snapshot): [Arbitrum Audit Program](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xebbcad364ae7f02797b9cd7f30c668907d479d4bb5ba7f5d775849822297a01d) ### Proposal (Snapshot): [[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x7cc26491a070c74c1a4ec5a9892571d31eb690015936a35b52c0d3a97bd5497f) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this proposal, it’s important for long term Arbitrum development to keep innovation aligned with Ethereum. ### Proposal (Snapshot): [Arbitrum Audit Program](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xebbcad364ae7f02797b9cd7f30c668907d479d4bb5ba7f5d775849822297a01d) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We are in favor of this proposal, supporting new projects on Arbitrum by any means necessary, including sponsorship of audit sends a very strong positive signal to community of developers. ### Proposal (Tally): [Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/27831845498978337986467036886891836384283300266814708262424272663046958396151?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Following our vote FOR during snapshot, we also support this proposal on Tally. ### Proposal (Tally): [Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/47215139570733026393508270943324710379923699871435188004224569883226292800465?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For ### Proposal (Tally): [OpCo: A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/41351298371775353090222506531903916823291804644712693824312064183457809617851?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Following our vote FOR during snapshot, we also support this proposal on Tally. ### Proposal (Tally): [Non-Constitutional: Stable Treasury Endowment Program 2.0](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/13323456481927947871314500108227684550647495448005726995657704713229313956489?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Following our vote FOR during snapshot, we also support this proposal on Tally. ---

### Proposal: [The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x2bc8e69eb65f3b2127072242ca317f51578db014019e22e8b370254e0566a4cf) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Establishing The Watchdog program strengthens the DAO’s integrity by creating incentives for the community to surface fund misappropriation, which has historically gone unchecked. This initiative fosters accountability, helps deter malicious behavior, and ultimately protects DAO capital. ### Proposal: [Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Gaming](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xe52ab17d41249186c4dc54afdb481e120572102ad222d4e2af13a92791d72344) **Vote** : 100% for Floock **Rationale** : We gave 100% of our voting weight to Flook in the Gaming domain because their track record demonstrates an ability to identify high-potential projects and allocate grants in a way that maximizes impact. ### Proposal: [Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Dev Tooling on One and Stylus](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x7241843c0a1ab87a5703335f28bb34ba190e31a9c294fc4d977116eaeb25f1db) **Vote** : 100% for Juandi **Rationale** : We gave 100% of our voting weight to Juandi due to their strong technical background, clear alignment with the DAO’s priorities, and hands-on experience with Arbitrum’s developer ecosystem. ### Proposal: [Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Education, Community Growth, and Events](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x0ce496fc0e16be46842dff38be15b831cde3099b7ce1e90ee3c941f5adb6aaee) **Vote** : 100% for SEEDGov **Rationale** : We allocated 100% of our voting power to SEEDGov based on their consistent contributions to governance education, community onboarding, and their thoughtful approach to ecosystem engagement. ### Proposal: [Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - New Protocols and Ideas](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x3defa5cd5570092ed229d56a5a5fc77c7f7de30eb92c8f21834a53c103936f8f) **Vote** : 50% for Saurabh 50% for CastleCapital **Rationale** : We split our vote evenly between Saurabh and CastleCapital as both candidates brought strong, complementary qualifications to the table. ### Proposal: [[Constitutional AIP] Activate Arbitrum BoLD + Infura Nova Validator Whitelist](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/101924107818180443784046677916233531742645798596604549673138282938475874935972?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Enabling BoLD is a major milestone toward decentralizing Arbitrum One through permissionless validation, while maintaining strong security guarantees. ### Proposal: [Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xab1a7ff1a294882315f3beaa77fa0d4b2ec68633792046b941714108209ce737) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this proposal because with an experienced team and clear KPIs, this initiative directly aligns with the DAO’s goals of ecosystem development and community-led growth. ### Proposal: [Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/47215139570733026393508270943324710379923699871435188004224569883226292800465?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : StableLab Supports the QB grants program in Arbitrum. The first 2 seasons have proven to be successful and we are excited to see what they fund in season 3. ### Proposal: [TMC recommendation](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xc37793b67f39a6af9e9434003205b1d9b67dd6f75638329045257be823da4f18) **Vote** : #1 Deploy Both Strategies Abstain #4 Deploy Nothing #2 Only Deploy ARB Strategy #3 Only Deploy Stable Strategy **Rationale** : We support this proposal and prioritize deploying both the Stablecoin and ARB strategies (#1). While we appreciate the TMC’s cautious approach, we believe deploying a portion of the DAO’s ARB holdings into on-chain strategies complements the stablecoin allocation and helps reduce idle asset exposure. ### Proposal: [GMC’s Preferred Allocations (7,500 ETH)](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xf9fd09839ad10b0bb16c97a1cc4618270ed4145a38561da35ac4afe84516a107) **Vote** : For deploy capital **Rationale** : We support this proposal as it strikes a strong balance between conservative yield generation and ecosystem growth by deploying 7,500 ETH across trusted protocols like Lido, Aave, Fluid, and Camelot. ### Proposal: [[CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal: For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xdb22a77942eddfea9c826790ac03c3e54a34716c0a9bde846399cffe6046d256) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this proposal because it improves the user experience and functionality of the Arbitrum Bridge. This ensures users can seamlessly bridge stablecoins via the official UI. The contracts are already deployed, audited, and live, making this a low-risk, high-impact integration for the Arbitrum ecosystem. ### Proposal: [[CONSTITUTIONAL] - Adopt Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/14881197137069494959448952699217598923721993392617887469969318742509097999570?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : The Nove Fee Sweep Action efficiently consolidates 1,885 ETH in historical Nova fees into the Arbitrum DAO Treasury using modern, automated infrastructure. This action improves treasury transparency, reduces governance friction, and completes the transition to the upgraded fee routing system, strengthening the DAO’s financial operations with minimal risk. ### Proposal: [[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/41764616447638715300612914863093416410063619332654034338488569044333128121381?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : Against **Rationale** : We voted against this proposal due to concerns around cost-efficiency, unclear long-term impact, and limited evidence of effectiveness from the initial pilot. ### Proposal: [[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Audit Program](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/107606727309922720763027677505427395647796047780305505879344344641224024948240?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : This initiative not only enhances on-chain security and reduces risk across the Arbitrum ecosystem, but it also promotes responsible scaling, supports developer adoption, and encourages innovation on Arbitrum chains. ### Proposal: [[Non-constitutional] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x7689f957c8cc37e991c7bed0f1d3dd3f6024a921b0bfbae5c897a09ab45c538b) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : This program builds on past learnings from STIP and LTIPP and aims to go beyond onchain incentives by targeting users at top of funnel level. Focus on iteration, reporting and analysis are a plus to gather valuable feedback for the DAO. ### Proposal: [TMC ARB Recommendation](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x9d13c56f911796a578812959f775092b3644901be17738a2d41c516d8a8f2e9b) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : The suggested ARB strategies are too high on the risk/rewards spectrum and not worth pursuing. ### Proposal: [TMC Stablecoin Recommendation](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xdd38e103e337b9e02a9d9ac73c2587db5be6cfb46506e13c0e897f7331895cf4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : The expected yield from the stablecoin strategies is very attractive given current market conditions, while diversifying the Treasury by selling ARB into stables guarantees yield generation and operational versatility. ### Proposal: [OpCo – Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Elections](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xb422848b0f53f9077444b922d553618e331f9abe7539ae4566ff84364d0fbd3c) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We think these four candidates are a strong addition to the AOT for the following reasons: Jana: She has worked in the interface between Rari Foundation, Rari DAO and Rarible, guiding all of them and ensuring alignment. She is also familiar with the Arbitrum ecosystem and her contributions are remarkable. Frisson: An active and respected contributor for Arbitrum. Initiated great governance initiatives for Arbitrum, keeping it at the industry’s forefront. Marc Zeller: He is an active contributor in many DAOs in the space and with ACI has helped AAVE grow while becoming a lean and accountable organization. Joseph: With a more technical background, he has a different profile, complementary to the rest of the candidates and his vision on Arbitrum development can bring a positive guidance to OpCo. ### Proposal: [Security Council election](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/council/security-council/election/3/round-2) **Vote** : OpenZeppelin - 100% **Rationale** : We support OpenZeppelin with all our VP to support their inclusion into the Council. OZ has a strong technical team, developed the governor contract and are respected among the community. ---

### Proposal: [The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/28485587559812799913134094629469849411398475232393607771326861344548198896843?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : An incentive to disclose misbehavior in DAO funded programs that currently lack oversight is a great idea, it has little downside and a lot of potential for recovering misused funds and enforcing accountability for the DAO. ### Proposal: [[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/13108804573775967668959825241666341617107666532012387058509418598838035461528?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : This upgrade will mark a cornerstone for the future of Arbitrum. Specially remarkable is the inclusion of support for account abstraction, which will enable the next level upgrade for UX in crypto. ---
**Author:** ![Jose\_StableLab](https://yyz1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/user_avatar/forum.arbitrum.foundation/jose_stablelab/32/14011_2.png) [@Jose\_StableLab](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/u/Jose_StableLab)\ **Post date:** [May 29, 2025, 10:06pm UTC](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/stablelab-delegate-thread/13942/24 "2025-05-29T22:06:46Z")
### Proposal: [Approval of STEP 2 Committee’s Preferred Allocations](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xd67d17db3bd230b163ce1f791d8712812446bced14ef2de875fd01ab3e2be3d6) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We are happy following the STEP 2 Commitee’s recommendations and will continue evaluating the performance of the funds once deployed for future assessment. ### Proposal: [[Non-consitutional]: Top-up for Hackathon Continuation Program](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xbb7500b713ccf4eff3f2dcb61e3c9d8db5ed5628a4b2f891656a0c0de98907bd) **Vote** : Yes to both **Rationale** : This is a good one-time solution due to market volatility. We should honor the projects that participated in the program. In the future, we should prioritize the timely selling of Arb over Arb price speculation to meet the funding requirements when they are denominated in dollars. ### Proposal: [DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x0b62de171fbff7a81833f9ebb44b9747189264d7a2cf95e3446223b1c413d2b0) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We appreciate the systematic approach to isolate single DeFi actions in order to better analyze the impact of incentives. Additionally, being protocol agnostic makes a credibly neutral chain, which we think is also positive. ### Proposal: [[Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x2d4089d72617eb137d6ee7ab9ae9efbe3cd1e0fcff48df24b926ce6259b734d3) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : While reducing quorum thresholds may temporarily ease operational challenges, we believe it increases long-term governance risks without addressing underlying participation issues. This proposal currently lacks data-driven justification and a clear framework for future adjustments. We recommend pairing quorum reductions with complementary strategies, such as delegating Treasury-held ARB to vetted delegates and activating stARB governance staking, to sustainably boost participation and ensure DAO resilience.4.5 ### Proposal: [Wind Down the MSS + Transfer Payment Responsibilities to the Arbitrum Foundation](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x1de2707ab4cf792721544a8f82eee98535c16ce437ba2ac95a78c85c20b6d8b0) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : The MSS has played an important role in operationalizing DAO decisions and executing payments reliably. However, with the OpCo set to become the main execution and oversight body for Arbitrum governance, we agree that the MSS has reached a natural endpoint in its lifecycle. Transitioning MSS responsibilities to the Arbitrum Foundation as an interim measure, until the OpCo is fully operational, is a practical and efficient solution that avoids the overhead of reauthorizing a short-lived budget extension. ### Proposal: [Adjust the Voting Power of the Arbitrum Community Pool & Ratify the Agentic Governance Pivot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x9ea3f5ef5b6c838ffc24430bb927baa13bf25dcf5f444358e89f0958bb41a5e7) **Vote** : B - Reduce delegation to 100k **Rationale** : Event Horizon’s shift toward agentic governance marks a significant change in scope that warrants transparent acknowledgment and reassessment of delegated voting power. While we recognize the value of experimentation in DAO governance, continuing to support such a pivot at the original scale of 7M ARB, without formal ratification or system audits, poses governance risks. Option B provides a balanced path forward: it affirms the DAO’s commitment to innovation while limiting undue influence from an experimental framework still undergoing community evaluation. Reducing the delegation to 100,000 ARB allows continued testing with proportional responsibility, pending further clarity via the upcoming AGI proposal. ### Proposal: [Reallocate Redeemed USDM Funds to STEP 2 Budget](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xfd373c58adbb013a05c778b71ccffb19e5bbefb8a100232f67eced33c58e22f7) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We trust the STEP 2 Committee in its decision to reallocate the reddemed USDM funds. ### Proposal: [Updating the OpCo Foundation’s Operational Capability](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x65b2b835f03bc18aa401b88702145e6b7686e8d7ddddfd956837251f8a7a7da1) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : Cross-posting here: > [@Updating the OpCo Foundation’s Operational Capability](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/updating-the-opco-foundation-s-operational-capability/29388/26): > > We are voting FOR this proposal. First, we want to thank the OAT and all contributors for their diligent work in incorporating community feedback and carefully refining the OpCo structure. We are pleased to see that two of the primary concerns StableLab had when reading the proposal have been constructively addressed in the comments, namely transparency reporting and budget limitations: While we do continue to hold some reservations about the reduced guardrails around conflict of interest ma… ### Proposal: [Let’s improve our governance forum with three proposals.app feature integrations](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x38663c36b26252acff6c6ca43663167858f51f960235dc0441bd2ad4a8f66fb1) **Vote** : Abstain **Rationale** : Cross-posting here: > [@\[Non-Constitutional\] Let’s improve our governance forum with three proposals.app feature integrations](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-let-s-improve-our-governance-forum-with-three-proposals-app-feature-integrations/29398/54): > > Thank you Paulo for putting up this proposal. We have voted Abstain in Snapshot to reflect our dual stance on this proposal: In favour: We love the features you are proposing. Proposals.app is great and as delegates that check forum and voting platforms daily we think it’s a valuable tool to continue optimizing delegate activities.

Additionally, being protocol agnostic makes a credibly neutral chain, which we think is also positive. ### Proposal: [[CANCELED] CONSTITUTIONAL Register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/16288348195459185256236376597446433097934740027053618232242382845767010422421?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : Against **Rationale** : This Proposal contained and error in the msg.value parameter, more information [here](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitutional-proposal-for-arbitrum-dao-to-register-the-sky-custom-gateway-contracts-in-the-router/28617/81). ### Proposal: [Arbitrum Treasury Management Council - Consolidating Efforts](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xfab795313df4ef1023c5f7f9027857637cc3841d62dc0b54796fbfa5f8096919) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We view the consolidation of treasury management functions as a necessary and timely step toward improving operational clarity, accountability, and execution across the DAO’s financial mandates. However, our support is accompanied by strong recommendations to publish a formal post-mortem capturing both the limitations and successes of the previous Treasury Management bodies. ### Proposal: [[Constitutional] AIP: Remove Cost Cap on Arbitrum Nova](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xeb044e3bdeba71e74dea02abeab4c33fe4bf5ab9def50082863702d5e2112b93) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : StableLab voted **FOR** this proposal. We believe this is a necessary and pragmatic change aligned with the DAO’s evolving priorities and broader network architecture. We expect that post-implementation monitoring and transparent reporting will provide the DAO with insight into the operational impact of this change and the future role of Nova within the Arbitrum ecosystem. ### Proposal: [[Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/94423886836435773843507976898262621297544156552971145658873213763398017341229?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : While reducing quorum thresholds may temporarily ease operational challenges, we believe it increases long-term governance risks without addressing underlying participation issues. This proposal currently lacks data-driven justification and a clear framework for future adjustments. We recommend pairing quorum reductions with complementary strategies, such as delegating Treasury-held ARB to vetted delegates and activating stARB governance staking, to sustainably boost participation and ensure DAO resilience. ### Proposal: [[CONSTITUTIONAL] Register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/71020107401388505040510993373598301285550678565865201408741893567942851985019?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : This proposal will allow Ethereum users to access USDS in Arbitrum.

Additionally, they incorporated delegate feedback by tying bonus ARB compensation to KPIs. ### Proposal: [Updating the Code of Conduct & DAO’s Procedures](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xd3d164905fee7dfd8516db6150a97f7f91cf6f9377f614fa6a82333c4fb20546) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : The Code of Conduct and DAO Procedures are key frameworks for the correct functioning of the DAO. ### Proposal: [[Constitutional] AIP: Update the Upgrade Executors](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xc08147e229fa642ee7da2e5180f225122b8c517024902f21cdcd02b376179b8d) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support the motivation behind simplifying the upgrade execution process and introducing a more lightweight alternative, especially for operational efficiency and governance overhead reduction. ### Proposal: [[Constitutional] AIP: Disable Legacy Tether Bridge](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xd5a66f784523841511f7ffec4171b9c14404fdbf7c205086312084d19c95c193) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : After USDT migration, keeping the legacy bridge poses unnecessary risk. ### Proposal: [Consolidate Idle USDC to the ATMC’s Stablecoin Balance](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x95a85f5d3d82215793ba9771ff06610d2ba9e2eaf58cdba904d7a9cb5b8bdc94) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : This operational procedure is beneficial at improving capital efficiency. ### Proposal: [[Non-Constitutional] - Updates to the DIP, The Complete 1.7 Version](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x008f190725018c3db0e6464bf31d44f09a4d7773fd1486dff0c52c27b8aba289) **Vote** : Against **Rationale** : We would first like to thank SEEDGov for their continuous efforts and support at running the DIP program, which we consider the most developed Delegate incentives in the industry. That being said, we consider the latest update shifts the program in the wrong direction by focusing on raw voting power at the expense of quality contributions. Earning each month’s Delegate Incentives was a non-trivial effort given the high scrutiny of the Delegate feedback evaluation. With the new changes introduced, we see how smaller delegates are purposely being squeezed out in favour of less active / high VP delegates. We consider the primary goal of the DIP to be attracting fresh and educated voices, not to help reach quorum. Numerous other initiatives, like governance staking or increased regulatory clarity, can be scales of magnitude more efficient at that goal than the DIP. We foresee after some months of dedicated contributions, the decreased compensations won’t make consistent engagement worth the time, and governance contributions continue declining over time. In such an environment, we agree with other delegates that focusing efforts on matching low-engagement / high-VP holders with quality delegates eager to dedicate their time and resources for a fair compensation to be the sweet spot where the DIP should be trending towards. ### Proposal: [[CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/97685288731263391833044854304895851471157040105038894699042975271050068874277?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We support this technical proposal and believe this process and evaluation should fall strictly under a technical team. ### Proposal: [Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Y2-Y3](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/37638751032596392177176596241110468090299645534448966767963399982622616318705?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4) **Vote** : For **Rationale** : We acknowledge the significant contributions made by Entropy Advisors during their first term and recognize the substantial operational lift they provided across DAO coordination, governance design, proposal execution, and data tooling.

StableLab has been an active participant in Arbitrum governance for over two years, and we were among the first delegates since the launch of the ARB token. In the coming week, I will be participating in Arbitrum governance on behalf of StableLab, continuing our longstanding and active commitment to the ecosystem. Arbitrum governance is dynamic and multifaceted, with many important initiatives and stakeholders driving progress. I’ll be reaching out to participants across the DAO soon to explore how we can best continue contributing to the growth and success of the Arbitrum community. Looking forward to the discussions ahead! ---

**Voting Update** [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: Security Council Election Process Improvements Reduce qualification threshold We believe in reducing the qualification in order to allow more to apply Revert the Delegate Incentive Program (DIP) to Version 1.5 Keep the current version as first choice For now while there are various discussions believe in maintaining the current which itself might be changed based on feedback in the future **Voting Update** Transfer 8,500 ETH from the Treasury to ATMC’s ETH Treasury Strategies Voted Abstain While we see a reasonable case for it, we decided to vote abstain as we want to see the community decides on this topic Arbitrum- Security Council Voted Gauntlet -Many good candidates but considering Zach is guaranteed to be elected based on how much voting power he already got, we wanted to vote to the candidate we believe is beneficial and as Gauntlet has been helping with security side for many protocols, we voted for them [Constitutional] AIP: DVP Quorum Voted No -While we do agree that quorum is an issue, we are in the camp that delegation from treasury that helps to empower active voters and delegates could be more helpful in the long term. Voting power at Arbitrum remains stale at the moment [Temperature Check] Should we try a Delegate Incentive Program like the Arbitrum Triple Dip? Abstain While we understand there’s a lot of interest for changes in the delegate reward structure, we are a bit more cautious about proposing a parallel structure The DAO Incentive Program (DIP 2.0) Abstain Similar to triple dip proposal, we are cautious about voting in support of changing it dramatically in parallel AGV Council Compensation Calibration: Benchmark for Future Council Terms No Every pay raise should be based on hitting kpis and don’t believe it’s sufficient at the moment Transfer 8,500 ETH from the Treasury to ATMC’s ETH Treasury Strategies Yes Had some reservations but we decided to vote for it also to contribute to quorum **AGV Council Compensation Calibration: Startup-Phase Bonus for Current Council Members** Voted No -Considering the performance of the token, we don’t believe it is ideal time to increase spending on such programs **Tim Chang reconfirmation for AGV council & John Kennedy reconfirmation for AGV council** Voted Abstain We abstained as we don’t have strong opinion about it **AGV - 2026 Council Elections** Voted Jojo Was the only candidate where we had strong opinion enough to vote for [Previous page](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/stablelab-delegate-thread/13942.md?page=1)
