Proposals: Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections
Type: Snapshot, ended Jan 23, 2025
Votes:
New Protocols and Ideas - CastleCapital
Dev Tooling on One and Stylus - n/a
Education, Community Growth, and Events - n/a
Gaming - n/a
Reasoning: We’ve worked with CastleCapital before and were comfortable supporting them in the new protocols area. However, we had less context on the other sections and wanted to go through all the pitches before we made a decision and unfortunately between the forum and calls we took too long to get our votes through the multisig in time. We were leaning towards SEEDGov for Education, Flook for gaming, and Juandi for dev tooling. With less context in these domains we found ourselves weighing past experience heavily, and would like to see something like the Grant Ships program reused for different scenarios such as this one so that new allocators would have a chance to prove themselves.
Proposal: The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program
Type: Snapshot, ended Jan 23, 2025
Vote: For
Reasoning: We think this program is safe to try. We were trying to think about how to evaluate this as it’s ongoing, and came to the conclusion that speed, relative to how complex the report is, is possibly the most important metric here. If misuse does occur, knowing who a bad actor is as soon as possible is important to protect any funds that have not been distributed already.
