Tally Votes: October 2024
UPDATED - Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship
Voted For: Being included in the big events in the Ethereum ecosystem is important. It might be hard to calculate ROI on this kind of event, but overall I think we all benefit from it. Not only Arbitrum but crypto space in general. For the future, I think we at Arbitrum DAO need to develop some other kind of system for proposals like this. We don’t need to spend our governance time on each sponsorship request coming in like this.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee: Phase II Proposal
Voted For: After reviewing the proposal and feedback from fellow delegates I believe that Arbtirum DAO will benefit from this proposal being approved. Feedback regarding the election is a bit unclear to me, so I expect that the committee will be fully transparent about all future activities and will take our feedback into consideration. But I don’t think this is such a blocker that we need another rewrite of the proposal. I believe that the committee will take our feedback and improve without a new proposal.
Constitutional AIP - Extend Delay on L2Time Lock
Voted For: The proposal seems very straightforward. I voted For this proposal because this will increase security and bring Arbitrum chains closer to stage 2 rollups.
[Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget
Voted For: Same as my comment for the Snapshot vote. I still lack transparency regarding how these funds are used. Who gets, how much? I understand some of these deals should be private. But it is hard for us to asses if this kind of fund justifies the outcome if we don’t know how the funds are used. On the other side, I trust Arbitrum Foundation that in this time of highly competitive conditions we will use the funds positively that will benefit Arbitrum and Ethereum ecosystem.
ArbitrumDAO strategic “Off-site” (online) updated proposal
Voted For: I still think that we lack general and strategic discussion about the DAO. Many of us are present at multiple calls and meetings on a weekly basis but do we really take time a think about the big picture or think about general issues that we face in ArbitrumDAO? I don’t think so. An event like this could help us to that. Also, let’s not forget about new people joining the DAO. This type of project could be a good insight into the DAO and more general stuff. I think it’s worth trying it out.
Enhancing Multichain Governance: Upgrading RARI Governance Token on Arbitrum
Voted For: Same comment as for the Snapshot vote. Happy to see RARI DAO moving their governance on Arbitrum. I hope this case will convince other protocols or DAOs to decide the same and move their governance to Arbitrum.
[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Incentive Program
Voted FOR: Incentive programs showed that you can get very active and engaging governance in your DAO with programs like this. As a DAO you want the best kind of people making decisions, giving feedback on proposals, attending weekly calls, etc. It takes a lot of time to be active in the governance so incentives like this help bring smart, experienced, and talented people to your DAO. I love to see that my suggestion was accepted. Now delegates will get bonus points (BP) if they attend Report Calls and Open Discussion proposals calls.
Fund the Stylus Sprint
Voted For: Onboarding builders is key to growing the Stylus and overall Arbitrum ecosystem. I think the program is designed well. Also, I believe that the fund (5M ARB) is enough to make a significant impact. I look forward to seeing the results of this program after some time. I would emphasize that the success of this pilot project will be defined by the quality of the projects/builders we onboard, so I wish good luck to all people involved in the projects. I believe they are a very strong team on the project.
