MAY 2025
SNAPSHOT (MAY 2025):
Snapshot proposal: Approval of STEP 2 Committee’s Preferred Allocations
Voted: FOR
Reasoning:
I support the recommendation set forth by the committee.
Snapshot proposal: [Non-consitutional]: Top-up for Hackathon Continuation Program
Voted: Yes to both
Reasoning:
The proposal sets the most straight-forward way to solve the problem of reduced funds in the Hackathon Continuation Program, as well as to send the leftover funds directly to TMC. It made sense to say yes to both.
Snapshot proposal: DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)
Voted: FOR
Reasoning:
I like that this incentive program has a novel approach, focusing on targeting specific assets/activities. I also think liquidity is more sticky than we think, even after incentives are gone. What I’m not that comfortable with is the size of the ask. I’d rather see a pilot program with a smaller amount first. But because there are ways to end the program prematurely and clawback funds if necessary, I was okay with voting for the proposal on Snapshot.
Snapshot proposal: [Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction
Voted: FOR
Reasoning:
I voted in favour of this proposal, but I consider lowering the quorum as a short-term solution. For a more sustainable solution I support the ideas of delegating some amount of tokens from the treasury to most active delegates.
TALLY (MAY 2025):
Tally proposal: The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program
Voted: FOR
Reasoning:
I kept my FOR vote that I made on Snapshot. It’s a no-brainer decision to have a program that helps prevent the misuse of funds, so I had no problem supporting the proposal.
Tally proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto
Voted: FOR
Reasoning:
I voted FOR on Tally, for the same reasons already described in my February Snapshot vote.
