But one does not interfere with the other. The development of the Arbitrum and new chains is going on in parallel. ---

There isn’t too much to share yet, but while trying to work out the best format for a guild, it became apparent that the requirements between our Arbitrum Protocol Guild and Ethereum’s Protocol Guild are slightly different. In Ethereum, there was a strong cohort of independent contributors across different verticals like client software & research. That was possible as Ethereum’s Protocol Guild was proposed to solve the specific problem of rewarding these independent contributors. For us, we need to figure out how to also build up a strong cohort of independent contributors, and this extra step is what makes it difficult to strictly copy and paste the current solution on Ethereum. ---

The concerns are more about the competition for finite energy and resources ---

We voted for this proposal because we believe the revenue share would be beneficial to the DAO and increasing the number of deployments is beneficial to the ARB ecosystem in terms of adoption. Lots of discussion about whether this is ETH aligned, but we don’t think that restricts us to only focusing on the EVM. Would be great to keep track of such new deployments and if they do in fact negatively impact builders on ETH. ---

A conservative estimate might place Durov’s TON holdings at 1-5% of the total supply. [Previous page](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/temperature-check-change-arbitrum-expansion-program-to-allow-deployments-of-new-orbit-chains-on-any-blockchain/23280.md?page=2)
