(Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program for a full year, increasing funding for four existing domains (Protocols, Education/Community/Events, Dev Tooling, and Gaming) and introducing a fifth domain focused on Orbit chains. It outlines updated funding levels, election processes, reporting requirements, and aims to enhance the ecosystem’s growth, innovation, and long-term project sustainability.

Voting and rationale:

[Non-Constitutional] [RFC] Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3

We vote for Renew with 5 domains (adding Orbit) . With a good structure and system, Questbook to target the right audience to provide the grants for the Arbitrum ecosystem. the Arbitrum D.A.O. (while we don’t necessarily like the naming of it as it’s confusing with DAO) should continue with the new addition for the important offering of the Arbitrum ecosystem, Orbit. We appreciate @maxlomu 's contribution to the Orbit domain grants as well.

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp (Snapshot)

Summary: This proposal requests funding to run a seven-month “Governance Bootcamp” (Arbitrum Onboarding V2), building on a previous pilot. It will select and train 20 Governance Analysts, guide them through workshops and exercises, and place the top 10 as Governance Fellows with Arbitrum protocols. The goal is to improve community engagement, diversify participation, and enhance overall governance quality within the Arbitrum DAO ecosystem.

Voting and rationale:

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp

We vote FOR the proposal on Snapshot. While we haven’t received a clear answer to the compensation structure in our comment below, we agree with the general direction of the concept and this proposal should go for an onchain vote. We also believe the DAO should pay governance analysts and program contributors, but there should be a compensation structure that is aligned with what the program can achieve with clear goal that comes with the KPIs. While being challenging to set the right KPIs to m…

Treasury Management V1.2 (Onchain)

Summary: This proposal establishes two committees—Treasury Management and Growth Management—to actively manage the DAO’s treasury assets by converting ARB to stablecoins for operational use, deploying ARB-only and ETH-backed strategies for yield and partnerships, and ensuring professional oversight, transparency, and risk-adjusted returns that ultimately set the stage for sustainable long-term financial management under the future OpCo structure.

Voting and rationale:

[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally. We maintain the voting and rationale made at the Snapshot stage and also look forward to OpCo being in charge of the initiative going forward. We also echo @pedrob 's points on “being very difficult for THE DAO to reject recommendations from the selected council members” and would still like to see a more automated solution for the treasury management with a clarified and articulated IPS being agreed on by the DAO.

Arbitrum Hackathon Builder Continuation Program (Onchain)

Summary: Arbitrum and RnDAO aim to build on the momentum of a recent Arbitrum CollabTech Hackathon by co-funding a structured, six-month support program for up to four of the most promising participant teams.

Voting and rationale:

Hackathon Continuation Program

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally. We maintain our vote and reasoning at the Snapshot stage and continue to support the initiative while being a little skeptical about the success of the projects itself. Regarding the details of the capital commitment, we believe they could have been clarified and communicated better, but we appreciate the fact that the RnDAO team has committed their effort to the success of the builders for the Arbitrum ecosystem and consider it acceptable. We hope the team …

OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution (Snapshot)

Summary: OpCo is a proposed legal entity designed to enhance the Arbitrum DAO’s strategic execution by hiring internal employees, contracting external service providers, and providing the organizational infrastructure needed to swiftly execute initiatives and ensure continuity of critical programs.

Voting and rationale:

OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution

We voted FOR the proposal on Snapshot. We support the overall direction of the initiative and greatly appreciate the effort, as well as the articulate and well-thought-out proposal by @Entropy. We recognize the value of an OpCo or its equivalent, as highlighted by @WintermuteGovernance. Our experience with dYdX governance reinforces our belief that such structures are critical and practical solutions for maturing DAOs with a broad base of stakeholders and delegates, like Arbitrum. However, we …

Summary: This proposal requests Arbitrum DAO’s sponsorship of ETH Bucharest 2025, featuring a prime exhibition booth, main stage presentation, and hackathon engagement (including possible POAP activation), to boost Arbitrum’s brand visibility, showcase its Layer 2 and Stylus technology, and foster real-world Ethereum use cases in Eastern Europe.

Voting and rationale:

Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025 - Eastern Europe’s Leading Ethereum Conference and Hackathon

We vote AGAINST the proposal on Snapshot. We appreciate @ostanescu.eth for the proposal first. We look forward to the presence from Arbitrum at ETH Bucharest! However, we can’t justify the funding as we echo @BlockworksResearch 's opinion on “the DAO Events budget should remain for Arbitrum-specific events” in addition to other concerns from delegates on the budgets and use of the Questbook grants and wouldn’t support this proposal as it stands.

Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP) (Snapshot or Onchain)

Summary: This proposal establishes the Arbitrum DAO’s Mission, Vision, and Purpose (MVP), aiming to defend and guide the Arbitrum ecosystem, empower builders with onchain freedom, and solidify Arbitrum as the primary hub for universal onchain adoption. It also lays the groundwork for setting future strategic objectives and sustainable growth.

Voting and rationale:

Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP)

We vote FOR the proposal on Snapshot. We support the initiative to unify the Mission, Vision, and Purpose of the Arbitrum DAO. This foundational step will enable the DAO to craft and execute appropriate strategies, aligned with a to-be-determined Strategic Objective Setting, ensuring that stakeholders work cohesively toward shared goals. Drawing inspiration from successful implementations like Lido’s MVP and GOOSE initiatives, this proposal has the potential to align contributors and DAO partic…
