[Constitutional AIP] Activate Arbitrum BoLD + Infura Nova Validator Whitelist

Platform: Tally

Vote: For

Rationale:

AIP: BOLD - permissionless validation for Arbitrum

I voted FOR this proposal on Tally, maintaining the position stated during the previous temp check phase. I’m genuinely excited about this significant change for Arbitrum. The BOLD upgrade marks a crucial step towards greater decentralization and incentives, which is essential for Arbitrum’s future. The introduction of permissionless validation is a transformative move that will open up the ecosystem and help prevent delay attacks, ensuring smoother operations, eventually increasing both securi…

Proposal for Piloting Enhancements and Strengthening the Sustainability of ArbitrumHub in the Year Ahead

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: Against

Rationale:

Non-Constitutional: Proposal for Piloting Enhancements and Strengthening the Sustainability of ArbitrumHub in the Year Ahead

First of all, I want to acknowledge the significant effort and dedication the @ArbitrumHub.io team has shown in refining this proposal multiple times, taking into account community feedback and working to address previous concerns. However, while I recognize ArbitrumHub’s importance to the ecosystem, I must vote against this proposal. The main reasons are: Even if considerable efforts were made to reduce the budget (from $79,000/month in the 1st proposal to the current $19,200/month), I feel i…

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

Arbitrum Strategic Objective Setting (SOS) – Defining the DAO’s Interim Goals

I decided to vote in favor of this proposal. I agree with the ratification of the SOS Framework, allowing us to move forward with the broader goal of the MVP proposal. I believe that moving to the next step will finally bring us closer to tangible results

AIP: Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

AIP: Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep

I’m supporting this proposal on Snapshot. The benefits of timeboost are clear and are something I’m personally excited about. It’s a great way for the DAO to generate extra revenue while still maintaining a high level of MEV resistance. Concerning the Nova fee sweep, it is a no-brainer, and it only makes sense to transfer the 1,885 ETH to the treasury. As others have already mentioned, I also support merging these proposals for the on-chain vote to streamline governance and ensure quorum.

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

Super happy to see the overwhelming response to the Stylus Sprint with such a high number of applications. When I initially voted in favor of funding the Stylus sprint my hope was that it would attract new developers to the ecosystem, and I’m happy to see that this has happened. I fully support the request to increase the budget. As many have already pointed out, Stylus represents a significant competitive advantage for the ecosystem, and I believe it’s crucial that we invest heavily in this di…

OpCo: A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution

Platform: Tally

Vote: For

Rationale:

OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution

Given that the proposal has not undergone substantial changes since the temperature check, I am maintaining my support and voting in favor on Tally for the same reasons as previously stated (OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution - #101 by 0x_ultra)

Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: Against

Rationale:

Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal

I’ve decided to vote against this proposal. While I believe empowering the community by creating support networks is essential overall, I don’t think this approach is the most effective way to achieve that goal. My main concern is that the costs are not justified well, and the budget seems high compared to the structure and goals outlined. I feel like the proposal lacks essential information concerning covered topics, … , falling short of the level of detail I’d expect for a Snapshot vote. Whi…

Arbitrum Audit Program

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

Arbitrum Audit Program

I’ve decided to vote in favor of this proposal at the temp-check stage, as I agree with the need for an efficient and consistently available audit support system for projects. However, I believe some aspects require further elaboration before proceeding to the tally stage. Even though the proposal shows consideration of lessons learned from the previous ADPC program (among which the involvement of an expert), I have concerns about the potential for this program to become a misallocation of reso…

I’m voting in favor of this proposal cause I feel like it only makes sense to support necessary upgrades like these, Arbitrum should keep up with EIPs.

Rationale:

TMC’s Proposed Allocations

It took me a while to reach a decision on this proposal. However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, I’ve decided to vote for option #3, as suggested by threesigma. Many have already pointed this out, but I want to echo that we should have opted for two separate votes. I’m looking forward to seeing how this plays out. [image]

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

Platform: Tally

Vote: For

Rationale:

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

I voted in favor due to the quality and the long time frame of the program, along with the comprehensive approach covering a wide range of topics. This is why I reiterate my vote as I did on snapshot. I also appreciate the budget reduction and I insist on how this proposal can bring new users in the ecosystem and give them the possibility to fully integrate it.

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

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

I’ve decided to vote in favor. I see no issue with registering them to the Router as it happened also with Rari. It seems like the integration has already been audited and green lighted so let’s push it live!

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Audit Program

Platform: Tally

Vote: For

Rationale:

Arbitrum Audit Program

I’ve decided to support this proposal on Tally. During the off-chain vote I voted in favor, asking, however to address some issues that I considered to be important before moving on-chain. I appreciate that feedback was integrated and that this revised version of the proposal is characterized by enhanced transparency and also contains better-defined eligibility criteria. I believe that supporting projects with audit expenses is essential, and I hope that this proposal will prove to address this…

GMC’s Preferred Allocations (7,500 ETH)

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: Abstain

Rationale:

GMC's Preferred Choices for 7,500 ETH RFP

I’ve decided to abstain. Initially, I was highly critical of the proposal due to its exclusive focus on non-native protocols. I was happy to see the addition of Camelot to the allocation list, which is a positive step. However, while the inclusion of Camelot addresses some of my initial concerns about prioritizing non-native protocols, I believe the allocation remains imbalanced and does not fully reflect the DAO’s potential to empower local builders. I appreciate the effort to improve the prop…

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

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

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

I’ve decided to vote in favor as I genuinely believe that this proposal addresses a critical issue in the ecosystem. While dApps and protocols may be well-structured and effective, it’s also true that their potential becomes irrelevant if they cannot retain users long-term or effectively reach new ones. I really appreciate the effort that you put in crafting this proposal and I particularly like the performance-based approach. I’m excited to see how it will be implemented!
