Tekr0x.eth - Delegate Communication Thread

This is Tekr0x.eth’s delegate communication thread.

I will continue to update.

Tally Votes: August 2024

[Constitutional] ArbOS 31 “Bianca” (Stylus, RIP-7212 Support, Nova Fee Router)
Voted FOR: I like support for smart contracts (Rust and C++), the new precompile that reduces verification costs by 99%, and the streamlined fee collection process, will greatly boost scalability, security, and governance. I’m excited about these improvements. Overall, I believe these changes have strong support, and I’m eager to see them implemented.

Arbitrum Multi-sig Support Service (MSS)
Voted FOR: This proposal will reduce costs and increase efficiencies within the DAO. This change should clearly enhance operational efficiency across various initiatives.

Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working With Arbitrum DAO
Voted FOR: After meeting with the team and thoroughly reviewing the proposal, I am confident that having a dedicated team like Entropy Advisors working full-time on the Arbitrum DAO will yield significant benefits for the future. I fully support both the team and their proposed budget.

Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator
Voted FOR: After reviewing the proposal and comments I believe a BoLD validator in terms of security and long-term goals for the Arbitrum network is necessary. I also like the collaboration between Arbitrum DAO on Arbitrum Foundation on this matter.

ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance
Voted FOR: I see this proposal as very innovative in the field of governance tokens. Utility of governance tokens is something that all DAOs face and as Arbitrum DAO we need to experiment with different approaches on this. I am excited to see how this proposal will reflect on the market price, open new possibles with stARB, and how will effect governance/delegation.

Snapshot Votes: August 2024

[Non-constitutional] Incentives Detox Proposal
Voted FOR: There have been a lot of initiatives running at the same time. Many of them collided with each other. I think it important to analyze the past activities before moving to next ones.

ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance
Voted FOR: After reviewing the comments, I’ve decided to support the proposal. The Tally team appears to be a strong fit for this initiative, and I look forward to seeing it move to a vote on Tally.

Transparency and Standardized Metrics for Orbit Chains
Voted FOR: Implementing standardized metrics is essential, and the GrowThePie team is fully equipped to execute this successfully. I support this proposal.

ArbitrumDAO Governance Analytics Dashboard
Voted FOR: The proposal and budget appear reasonable given the size of the DAO. The Curia team seems well-qualified for the task, and I look forward to seeing it implemented.

ArbitrumDAO Off-site
Voted FOR: This should be an IRL event. I suggest doing it during some bigger events, like Devcon which will take place in Bangkok in November.

Proposal to Temporary Extend Delegate Incentive System
Voted FOR: Since joining the Delegate Incentive System, I’ve put much more effort into my role as a delegate, with a more structured approach to casting my votes on Snapshot and Tally. The program is well-designed, encouraging even smaller delegates like myself to become deeply involved in decision-making.I believe this program should be extended and developed into a long-term initiative.

Should the DAO Default to using Shielded Voting for Snapshot Votes?
Voted For on all Snapshot votes: That’s an excellent proposal. I believe this approach will encourage delegates to be more engaged in the decision-making process. It will require us to review the forum, read through the comments, and consider the perspectives of fellow delegates before making our own informed decisions.

An (EIP-4824 powered) daoURI for the Arbitrum DAO
Voted Against: The proposal did not follow the standardized process, which is why I decided against it. However, I am open to reviewing it again if it follows the usual procedures.

Strategic Treasury Management on Arbitrum
Voted Against: I believe treasury management should not be managed by smaller groups/teams but should be a collective mission.

Should the DAO Create COI & Self Voting Policies?
Voted FOR Strict Self-Voting Policy: The best policy is a Strict Self-Voting policy because it means delegates with bigger power can’t decide or swing votes for their benefit.

Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship
I voted FOR Unicorn Partners as the first option, and Panda Partners as a second option: Due to the size of the initiative and the Ethereum Foundation being behind it, I believe we must support and sponsor this event. Compared to the other spending we have at Arbitrum DAO I believe spending 75 ETH as Unicorn Partners is not an expense too big for the DAO. I agree with Griff’s proposal that the sponsorship could be paid in ARB.

Snapshot Votes: September 2024

[Constitutional] Extend Delay on L2Time Lock
Voted FOR: Giving the process 5 extra days seems a small price to pay for how much extra safety we gain in response to bad actors. It is also great that the delay is only for constitutional votes, and not all future proposals.

STIP-Bridge Operational Budget
Voted FOR: Because the proposal and its budget already been approved I support this proposal without and comments. The team working on it did their job well and I feel they need to be compensated fairly.

[Replace Oversight Committee with MSS] Delegate to Voter Enfranchisement Pool — Event Horizon
Voted FOR: Getting more people involved in DAO has always been a goal of mine and this proposal is set to doing exactly that.

This sounds amazing as I found it very much useful and informative to be honest. Also, I have gone through this post which definitely helped me out a lot as a new member I am looking forward for more such discussions. :slightly_smiling_face:
