[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program (Snapshot)

Summary: This proposal introduces the Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program, aiming to enhance long-term effectiveness and sustainability of the Arbitrum ecosystem by swapping up to 2 million ARB tokens with 3 to 7 mature “Arbitrum Blue Chip” protocols. By fostering bidirectional value alignment through token swaps, the program seeks to incentivize key projects to remain loyal to the Arbitrum network and actively participate in its growth and success.

Vote and rationale:

[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program

We vote FOR the proposal on Snapshot. While we acknowledge various concerns related to this program, we support the experimental nature of it and rely on the judgement and evaluations done by the selected program members. As GFX mentioned, the budget wouldn’t be used if the token swap doesn’t make sense. We see similar programs done by other DAOs while they are not necessarily proven successful yet. Many pointed out the risks, but there will be potential upsides that the DAO can take from this …

(V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective (Snapshot)

Summary:The ARDC V2 proposal seeks to enhance governance and operational efficiency by introducing a Supervisory Council, implementing a retainer-based compensation model tied to deliverables, revising funding structures with three USDC allocation options, and strengthening roles in risk, security, and research, with the DAO voting on whether to fund the ARDC under these new terms.

Vote and rationale:

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2]

We vote 100% for Option B: “Funded with 2.09M + Council”. While there were some challenges reported by L2BEAT in this report, we believe that the ARDC members have provided valuable deliverables for the DAO. We acknowledge that it’s difficult to quantify the value provided by them and hope it would be something the new program can address. Having an oversight council makes sense as well, and we’re looking for Entropy to take its role as it feels one of their responsibilities. For the budget, c…

[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Incentive Program (Onchain)

Summary: Proposal to renew and enhance the Arbitrum DAO Delegate Incentive Program (DIP) for one year, introducing updated parameters such as a $4.2 million incentive budget, new compensation tiers based on delegate participation rates, adjusted scoring weights, and additional incentives for active contribution and adherence to DAO social agreements.

Vote and rationale:

Proposal - Delegate Incentive Program (DIP)

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally. We maintain our decision made on Snapshot as below and continue to support the effort done by the SEED Gov team.

Fund the Stylus Sprint (Onchain)

Summary: This proposal aims to allocate up to 5,000,000 ARB tokens to fund a one-time “Stylus Sprint” program, which seeks to accelerate the development and adoption of Stylus smart contracts and tools by providing grants to teams building with Stylus over a one-year period, with applications evaluated by a designated committee during an 8-week submission window.

Vote and rationale:

[RFC] Fund The Stylus Sprint

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally. We maintain the support made on Snapshot as below and acknowledge two concerns are appropriately addressed after the Snapshot. We believe Stylus is the key innovation that the Arbitrum ecosystem should push forward and are looking forward to the success of this program.

GCP Council Re-Confirmation Vote for Tim Chang (Snapshot) and John Kennedy (Snapshot)

Summary: These proposals are to conduct a reconfirmation vote to decide whether Tim Chang and John Kennedy should continue to serve as a member of the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP) Council.

Vote and rationale:

Reconfirmation of GCP Council Appointees

We vote to “Reconfirm Tim Chang and John Kennedy for the GCP Council”. Their expertises and experiences are valuable for continuous explorations of the GCP and we support them to serve the council.

Security Council September 2024 Cohort Member Election (Tally)

Summary: The Security Council is a vital part of the Arbitrum ecosystem trusted to respond to critical emergencies and its members’ elections are held every 6 months. This time is for September 2024 Cohort.

Vote: Consensys Diligence

Rationale:

Compared to other promising candidates, they are on the border of being chosen. With a limited amount of the VP we have, we use our 100% VP to support them. We would also vote for gzeon, Emiliano Bonassi, Immunefi and Dennison Bertram.
