1- I would love to see ArbitrumDAO implement an RFP model right after SOS is clear. This approach would create clear, structured goals for the ecosystem with specific RFPs that builders can compete for. This targeted funding approach would align builder incentives directly with ecosystem needs and create healthy competition to deliver the best solutions.
2- Success for Arbitrum means doubling down on its DeFi strengths to become the definitive home for the future of finance. By focusing on the ā¦
This submission has good foundations. After reviewing it, here are some points that could strengthen it:
First - The objectives need concrete metrics. When you say āimprove dev experienceā - what specific measurements will show success? Without clear numbers, itās hard to judge actual progress versus random activity.
Second - Consider adding stronger accountability mechanisms. In my experience with governance systems (TEC and HNY communities), privileges should always be revocable based on perā¦
Solid work putting this together. I appreciate your guidance on SOS - shows real dedication to getting this right and building consensus.
I see a powerful connection opportunity between Goal 1 and Goal 3 that could be emphasized more. Institutional adoption (Goal 3) is directly tied to security concerns. What if Arbitrum created the safest wallet ever built? Using account abstraction, we could develop a wallet that goes beyond just seed phrases - adding extra authentication layers like Google lā¦
Delegate Update: May
Attendend a lot of calls and activity around SOS and treasury management, and the new vision for governance in Arbitrum, which I am actively participating.
I just seen this proposal and went to Karma and saw almost all delegates are losing voting power. Seeing token holders lose confidence in the ecosystem should be ringing alarm bells for all of us. The dropping delegate voting power is a governance issue and a market signal that holders are selling and moving elsewhere.
I support lowering the quorum threshold as a practical response to our current reality. Letās be clear though - this is treating a symptom, not the disease. The real problem is tā¦
Iām voting in favor of lowering the quorum. As mentioned before, this is treating the symptom, not the disease. Iām very aligned with what @mcfly said - we need to incentivize token holders to delegate their tokens, and delegates need to be incentivized for doing a good job voting. I still love the idea I shared when I first started to engage on Arbitrum: delegates should be paid
on locked ARB so their incentives are aligned with token holders.
Iām voting āOnly top-up the HCPā. The original agreement was made in stables, and with ARBās value fluctuation, itās only fair to honor that commitment to get to see the results after the experiment.
As Klaus pointed out, weāre creating too many parallel funding processes when we should be optimizing through OPCO. We need to focus on the long-term governance solutions coming with OPCO rather than creating more bureaucratic layers.

Looks like weāre chasing the same governance white rabbit!
This proposal hits on the same pain point Iāve been obsessing over - that gap between forum noise and actual proposal improvements. Seems like weāre in a friendly race to fix governance (may the best tool win, but the ecosystem definitely wins regardless).
This aligns with work Iām planning to execute on my recent questbook proposal where Iām focusing on similar challenges in governance optimization.
Good to see more builders tacklinā¦
From a market-oriented standpoint, the Quadratic Accelerator hits all the right notes. It transforms ecosystem funding into an organic experiment and I love it!.
Really aligned with this direction. qacc is the kind of experiment we need more of ā market-driven, lean, and focused on real outcomes without relying on artificial support, itās really interesting how the clear winner of season 1 was x23ai a product that probably all delegates are using.
In most ecosystems, public goods funding ends ā¦
Saying āanyone who launches a token loses focusā is just not accurate. A clear counterexample is Ethereum. Are you seriously claiming Vitalikās team lost focus or wasted time navigating regulatory minefields?
There are many successful projects that launched tokens early and are clear winners today. You should really do some research before making such broad, misleading claims. Letās stay rational and base our arguments on evidence.
Donāt let your thinking be guided by failure stories, better ā¦
What is not accurate is your question to chatgpt, the ico itselt its launching a token before the product.
Ill leave it there i dont want to explain what i belive someone is trying to do/build.
Title: Dispute
Username: Zeptimus
Iām submitting a formal dispute regarding the April 2025 DIP scoring for my delegate address 0x3ef1b0db4d10d2e3ce06699c0bd4ef0aaf897614. Two specific posts I made were not scored at all, despite offering original and timely contributions to key governance discussions:
Comment on āBuildersā Voices Neededā
Comment on Gabrielās SOS submission
These comments were early, informed, and aligned with the rubricās criteria for āpresence in discussions.ā They addā¦
Just voted YES on The Watchdog proposal on tally. This is the kind of market-driven accountability mechanism Arbitrum needs.
What stands out here is how The Watchdog elegantly applies several of Ostromās principles for managing shared resources:
Monitoring by community members: By creating financial incentives for community sleuths, weāre establishing decentralized monitoring that Ostrom identified as crucial for sustainable governance. This turns every community member into a potential guardā¦
Voted YES on Tally. I believe staying aligned with Ethereumās Pectra upgrade is crucial for Arbitrumās growth.
Petra is running well on mainnet, and I trust the Arbitrum devs to deliver another solid implementation. Letās do it!
Voting NO on Snapshot. Appreciate the work Entropy put into this ā the structure is thoughtful and the intent is clear.
That said, the proposal lacks strong accountability. Those ammount of ARB with no skin in the game from recipients, no clear clawbacks if TVL drops post-incentives, and centralized control over allocations feels risky.
This creates artificial demand that likely wonāt last. Canāt support in its current form, and remain open to a revised version with better safeguards.
Letās Finish What We Started
In a DAO, one branch unilaterally freezing a voted-on process is a recipe for distrust. I deeply agree with @klaus, by what authority do entropy get to pause a DAO-wide initiative just because a few people privately raised concerns?. This sort of arbitrary halt is an āopen-ended evaluation period with no clear resolution pathā that kills momentum and violates the deterministic, transparent governance we built. We all voted to start SOS, and itās now our duty to carā¦
Hey Klaus! I updated the original post with a great video of Griff giving a TL;DR on how to participate in the MVV process and a link to Liviaās post explaining the process, right below this part:
Many of the links are broken but what I mostly wanted to communicate is that this process shouldnāt be paused as you pointed. If we want people to engage, the process should be simpler and Arbitrum deserves a north star asap.
This is just off the top of my head and probably a lot of work, but if I wā¦
I can see the tremendous work that went into developing these strategic objectives and appreciate the effort of bringing them all together @tempe.
At the same time, I truly believe that this is a lot of information to digest for anyone trying to engage and will prevent key stakeholders from being part of it. We need to have an easier way to engage for the overall goal of SOS. That being said, I love the direction of this post getting into the details and how we will accomplish all our goals. Anā¦
I see massive potential here for addressing Arbitrumās core governance bottlenecks.
Our current governance is painfully bureaucratic and slow. Agents can support meaningful participation from key contributors while dramatically reducing governance overhead costs.
The infrastructure around AI governance could make our entire SOS process significantly smoother. Thereās substantial value waiting to be captured through better coordination and decision-making tools.
I see two distinct paths here aā¦
