Strategic Treasury Management on Arbitrum

There were also some questions/feedback with regards to how this proposal (liquid treasury management) would tie in with other proposals and general DAO budgeting discussion.

We are strongly aligned with delegates such as @pedrob and @SEEDGov that there needs to be a concerted and holistic approach towards DAO Budgeting, which would eventually provide guidance for DAO asset allocation and financial planning (expenses). Treasury management in an environment of uncoordinated, excessive spending would be akin to pouring water into a bottomless pit. However, as @Jojo pointed out, there is a potential conflict of interest, given there are multiple verticals that Arbitrum needs to allocate resources to (illiquids such as GCP, Ventures, M&A; grants & incentives; liquid treasury management). We will provide guidance and professional opinion from the perspective of liquid treasury manager on those matters as they are extremely important facets of treasury health, but are of the stance that such decisions should eventually stem from an independent board with minimal / well-disclosed vested interests.
