Supporting (some of) the needs of builders through grants: a simple analysis of what the DAO could do next

With the ArbitrumDAO+RnDAO Co.Lab, we’re taking a 3 phases approach to solve the migration issue for Bootstrap phase, and I think that could be replicated in other programs too:

1: selecting projects that are Arbitrum aligned (can generate sequencer fees and/or are solving a major problem for Arbitrum)

2: network effects through a Business Cluster approach (facilitating deep collaboration between projects in the same vertical) that’s taken to the next level through cross-ownership. This setup incentivizes modularity and composability, and it’s thanks to the integrations that network effects are archived (it’s way harder to convince all your partners to migrate than doing it alone). More on this here: Business Clusters as a Strategy for Arbitrum

3: incentive alignment: medium term we’re working to setup the legal and governance infrastructure so the ArbitrumDAO can be a co-owner of the projects too, participating in their governance as a stakeholder and even if the projects migrate, participating still in their success.
