March Votes and Rationale
[CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal: For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router
Voting ‘FOR’ this proposal on Snapshot.
A lot of our initial concerns seem addressed. Beyond improving the bridging experience, I see a lot of potential for USDS and sUSDS to enhance Arbitrum’s DeFi ecosystem. Picture GMX using sUSDS for yield-bearing collateral or Pendle splitting USDS for fixed yields. It would be great if Sky can look into collaborating with Arbitrum-native protocols to explore these opportunities.
Additionally, given the gateway’s reliance on Arbitrum’s messaging layer, a gas cost comparison—perhaps against CCTP or similar bridges—would be great.
One last thing: I’d like to propose Sky provide a 3-month post-launch report with metrics like bridged volume and Spark adoption to quantify the impact.
This proposal offers good strategic value, and we’re quite supportive.
[Non-constitutional][RFC] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols
Voting FOR this proposal,
3M budget for both On chain incentives and Offchain marketing seems reasonable.
We like that there is a plan to track useful KPIs thoroughly, that there’s data analysts as well as marketing professionals involved.
As we run a media and work with projects, we’re very aware of the positive effects of exposure for projects, and the outsize effect of marketing spend can be when a good campaign is executed.
