Consolidate Idle USDC to the ATMC’s Stablecoin Balance (Snapshot)

Consolidate Idle USDC to the ATMC’s Stablecoin Balance

We have voted in favor of this proposal. Previously, we expressed ideas regarding certain aspects of Entropy’s initial proposal, specifically highlighting the need for a more structured framework to ensure that idle funds could generate yield without necessitating a reduction in available resources for ongoing activities. We are pleased to see that our feedback has been incorporated more directly and comprehensively than anticipated, by maintaining the Events Budget while optimizing its capital…

[Non-Constitutional] - Updates to the DIP, The Complete 1.7 Version (Snapshot)

Proposal - Updates to the DIP, The Complete 1.7 Version

We vote in favor of this proposal. Given the ongoing structural transformations within Arbitrum DAO and considering the historically high costs associated with the DIP, the proposed reduction in expenses is reasonable and timely. Additionally, while voting participation alone does not fully capture delegate performance, introducing Tier X to encourage higher voting participation aligns effectively with the DAO’s governance objectives. However, we share concerns highlighted by @paulofonseca reg…

[CONSTITUTIONAL] Remove Cost Cap, Update Executors, Disable Legacy USDT Bridge (Onchain)

We voted in favor of this proposal.
This is a combined vote of 3 proposals that were previously approved via Snapshot votes, for which we voted in favor.

• Remove Cost Cap on Arbitrum Nova
• Update the Upgrade Executors
• Disable Legacy Tether Bridge

Our view remains unchanged after the Snapshot votes, and we haven’t found any additional issues to be concerned about.
Thus, we decided to support this.

[Explainer] Tané Delegate Decisions on STIP Addendum Snapshot Proposals

Summary

Tané, an active Arbitrum delegate, recently published their voting record and reasoning on the STIP Addendum Snapshot Proposals, which covered funding extensions for a wide range of protocols.

Their feedback highlights support for effective incentive programs, cautiousness around conflicts of interest, and rejections where impact or execution was unclear.

---

Key Approvals (Funding Supported)

• Thetanuts, Umami, Dolomite, Thales, Savvy DAO, Gains, Solv, Mux, Sanko GameCorp, KyberSwap, Boost
  • Common reasoning: incentives demonstrated measurable user growth, TVL stability, or strong sybil resistance mechanisms.
  • Some approvals noted improvements from past challenges and saw value in continuing momentum.

---

Abstains (Conflict of Interest)

• Stargate & Socket
  • Tané abstained due to potential conflicts of interest with portfolio bridge protocols.

---

Rejections (Funding Not Supported)

• ANGLE, OpenOcean, Stake DAO, Tide, Furucombo
  • Reasons included:
    • Misaligned market focus (e.g., ANGLE’s push into the USD stablecoin market).
    • Weak retention metrics (OpenOcean).
    • Preference to delay funding (Stake DAO).
    • Failure to meet targets or justify significant asks (Tide, Furucombo).

---

Why It Matters

This delegate communication thread provides valuable transparency into how Tané evaluates funding requests:

• Effectiveness: Programs must clearly show TVL/user growth.
• Accountability: Teams must effectively address past challenges.
• Risk Management: Avoid conflicts of interest or poorly justified funding jumps.

By articulating reasoning, Tané sets a precedent for delegates to document votes and create accountability in governance.

Strategic Lens

This snapshot of voting demonstrates the DAO refining its approach to allocating incentives, rewarding protocols with clear traction, pausing those with gaps, and ensuring transparency when conflicts arise. It reflects a shift from blanket incentives to evidence-driven funding decisions.
