MARCH 2025

SNAPSHOT (MARCH 2025):

Snapshot proposal: TMC Recommendation (canceled)

This snapshot vote was later canceled.

Voted: FOR (#3 Only Deploy Stable Strategy)
Reasoning (link):

I voted FOR, with “#3 Only Deploy Stable Strategy” as the top choice, and “#1 Deploy both” as the second choice. As noted in the today’s Open Discussion of Proposals call, stablecoins are needed in our treasury to pay, for example, service providers.

I trust that TMC partners will be able to convert ARB to stablecoins in a way that least impacts the price. If service providers are paid in ARB instead, they will simply sell it on the market which is the least preferable way of converting ARB to stablecoins.

This is why it’s better if ARB-to-stablecoin conversion is done through an initiative such as TMC, which should affect price less than just dumping ARB on the market.

Btw, next time I suggest that you make a better title for the proposal. I imagine there may be some other TMC recommendations in the future, so you could have at least named it “TMC Recommendation 1”, or “TMC Recommendation March 2025”.

Snapshot proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal: For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router

Voted: FOR
Rationale:

I voted in favour on Snapshot since this is a collaboration between Offchain Labs and Sky - It will benefit Arbitrum, its users, and its DeFi ecosystem.

Snapshot proposal: GMC’s Preferred Allocations (7,500 ETH)

Voted: FOR
Rationale:

I voted FOR this proposal on Snapshot. I think it’s a good mix of conservative allocations and a more risky allocation. I like the fact that one of the native Arbitrum protocols/dApps was included. Hopefully in the future more Arbitrum-native protocols will be included, but of course we also need to work on having more liquid and less risky native protocols available.

Snapshot proposal: OpCo – Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Elections

I voted for the following candidates (equal vote for each of them):

Federico Daffina
Jana Bertram
Patrick McCorry
Paul Imseih
Pedro Breuer

Snapshot proposal: TMC Stablecoin Recommendation

Voted: YES, Deploy Stablecoin Strategy
Rationale:

Just like in the first snapshot vote (which was later canceled), I vote for deploying the stablecoin strategy.

Snapshot proposal: TMC ARB Recommendation

Voted: NO, Deploy Nothing
Rationale:

I’m following my initial snapshot vote (the one that was later canceled) and the TMC recommendation by voting “NO, Deploy Nothing” on the ARB strategy.

Snapshot proposal: [Non-constitutional] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols

Voted: FOR
Rationale (link):

On one hand the budget seems a bit high ($50k/project/month), but on the other hand if we want to really test out a lot of different channels, it requires a higher budget. Also, this are the max amounts, the final cost may be lower than that. On top of that we will get a detailed report on effectiveness of each channel, which may be the most important result of this proposal. For this reason, I voted FOR the proposal on Snapshot.

TALLY (MARCH 2025):

Tally proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] - Adopt Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep

Voted: FOR
Reasoning (link):

Voting FOR on Tally for the same reasons I voted FOR on Snapshot.

Tally proposal: [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Audit Program

Voted: FOR

Reasoning:

I kept my vote in favour like in the Snapshot vote. I think an audit program will come very useful for projects built to meet SOS objectives in the upcoming year or two.

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