[Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

[Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget

I’m voting in favor. I believe that in this period where Arbitrum is facing intense competition, it’s essential to keep up and push for an expansion of strategic partnership, which is the case with this proposal. While I recognize this need, I also believe that transparency should be at the core. As @Arbitrum mentioned above, disclosing details is sometimes either impossible due to confidentiality agreements or can lead to disadvantages in competitiveness, but I still think that some type of sol…

[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Incentive Program

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: FOR - DIP V1.5

Rationale:

Proposal - Delegate Incentive Program (DIP)

I think that in order to chose the better option in general terms we have to keep smth in mind: what’s the goal of the program? Pushing for active participation, professionalization of delegates and providing useful feedback to the different proposal. Having this in mind, I believe that the DIP can really have a positive waterfall effect by improving proposals and the quality of initiatives in the ecosystem. In order to do so, it’s important to push for qualitative feedback, and not only quantit…

[Non-Constitutional] Whitelist Infura Nova Validator

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

AIP: Whitelist Infura Nova Validator

I’m voting in favor as this snapshot vote was mainly made in order to follow the “formal” procedure, but yes, it’s evident to me how Nova validator should be whitelisted. Its performance clearly shows good results and reliability. I fully support this proposal!

Research on context and retention

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

Research on context and retention

I’m voting in favor. This research seems really interesting plus it requires no budget and it only uses data that is already publicly available. Initially I was concerned about potential security issues but I saw that it was already brought up in the previous discussions, leaving me with no other major doubts. I’m curious to see the results of this research!

An EIP-4824 powered daoURI for Arbitrum DAO

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: FOR - Use ENS txt records

Rationale:

An EIP-4824 powered daoURI for Arbitrum DAO

I’m voting in favor for the option “FOR - Use ENS txt records”. I think that this proposal is a nice accessibility improvement, it fosters transparency and has no extra costs. Concerning the option, the reason behind my decision is that this will basically make things easier and won’t require an on-chain vote for every single change, which can be time-consuming. At the same time, this option allows changes to be made if the community requires them.

UPDATED - Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship

Platform: Tally

Vote: For

Rationale:

Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship

Voted in favor. During the snapshot phase I wasn’t fully convinced of some aspects, mainly linked to the actual benefits of this initiative. However, the introduction of clear outcome metrics to evaluate the impact of participation allows me to be more confident in this initiative. As I also mentioned in my voting rationale during the snapshot vote, I would have been more confident in this choice if other L2s decided to take part in the initiative too, but I hope that their participation can tak…

I also appreciate the efforts that were made to come up with a detailed explanation of the budget, providing a transparent and large view of their intentions. Concerning the electoral procedure, I already expressed my thoughts here
