Proposal: Approval of STEP 2 Committee’s Preferred Allocations
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
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)
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
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
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
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
Vote: For
Rationale: We trust the STEP 2 Committee in its decision to reallocate the reddemed USDM funds.

Proposal: [CANCELED] CONSTITUTIONAL Register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router
Vote: Against
Rationale: This Proposal contained and error in the msg.value parameter, more information here.
Proposal: Arbitrum Treasury Management Council - Consolidating Efforts
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
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] Register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router
Vote: For
Rationale: This proposal will allow Ethereum users to access USDS in Arbitrum. Further insights into gateway updates and the need for a streamlined governance process can be found here.
Proposal: Extend AGV Council Term and Align Future Elections with Operational Cadence
Vote: For
Rationale: StableLab voted FOR this proposal as it introduces sensible structural improvements that strengthen continuity, reduce governance complexity, and align AGV oversight with its operational cadence.
Proposal: Audit Committee Technical Expert Elections
Vote: Gustavo Grieco
Rationale: We chose Gustavo as both candidate have excellent technical capabilities based on their previous auditing experience. However, Gustavo made special emphasis on the operational and communication’s side of the role, which we consider will be as important as the technical knowledge, in which both excel.
