Voting Activities

We maintained the vote from Snapshot as we believe increasing the threshold to 9/12 is the vital first step to improve the system to achieve the revised Stage1 designation.

We maintained our Snapshot vote to fund 500k ARB each as we are generally supportive of the initiative and consider it important for the Arbitrum DAO to contribute to the cause.

We appreciate all the effort by the contributors for the past 6 months and believe in the needs to focus more on building strong ecosystem in the gaming category. There are obviously a few concerns that were already discussed in the thread and the X Space held today, but we are confident that the appointed GCP council, GCP team and Foundation incorporate feedback from the DAO and advisors and appropriately oversee the progress of the initiative.

RIP-7212 has been well-supported by the community and other L2 will certainly introduce it on their chains. This enables more secure smart wallets to be easily utilized on the L2 environments, which is a clear win for the better UX.

Stylus is an ambitious, yet reasonable innovation that Offchain Labs has developed to make Arbitrum even more attractive to Rust and C++ developers. We’d hope that the technology will be integrated into other L2 chains so that the smart contract composability will remain as we have on the EVM platforms.

We consider it rather a fix to apply the change and simplify the fee related operations for the DAO.

We also believe the ADPC can handle the operations and the governance minimization matters especially in the Arbitrum DAO. If the ADPC didn’t account for the operations, we’d consider an additional small funding can be an option.

This not only enhances the decentralization and security of Lido's Node Operators but also improves the economics for Node Operators participating in DVT. Therefore, we support this proposal.

As this proposal will lead to further strengthening of the robustness of the Lido protocol, we vote in favor of it.

As DeFi activities centered around LST expand beyond the Ethereum mainnet, partnerships like this, which address cross-chain compatibility, help meet the growing needs of LST-based DeFi activities. Therefore, we vote in favor of this proposal.

We believe that as a member of the Lido Alliance, Mellow can contribute to the growth of the Lido ecosystem by expanding the utility of stETH.

We vote FOR the proposal while we recognize controversial perspectives around this one-off incentives request, but as it can be considered as a great opportunity for the Arbitrum ecosystem to grow, we would like to approve this funding as we voted for the Curve proposal. We also appreciate all the efforts to address the feedback from the delegates and modify the proposal to the ideal state of it under the DAO’s framework (LTIPP). Our concern is around how the protocol can retain users after the incentives program end. Eventually, we should see how it turns out, but we are particularly looking forward to their committed developments for the Arbitrum native products and ongoing treatments to achieve the success of their multi-chain strategy.

We appreciate and value the work the LTIPP council has done, and continuous effort the council will put in for the DAO. We also like the challenge process done in the STIP bridge process, but not necessarily a dealbreaker for the proposal to be passed or not.

While we strongly recommend the council to reconsider the rewards, the intention of the council’s inception should be valued and without a particular structure or proposal that is sustainable to address the CoC related matters, we should keep the council running.

Focused fundings on the new Intent to grow the Superchain makes sense strategically. Supporting the chain-specific grants programs is an interesting approach. We fully support the Intents and their budgets and look forward to the impacts that they make.

We vote FOR the proposal because it’s essential for the Collective to support a well-established grant system and adjust the rewards based on the increased works and scopes to take on. Organizing a grant system with an appropriate structure is an incredible feat and should be valued. We are excited to see the measurements that the new Grant Council can achieve with updated Intents. OP Chain grants programs are something we particularly look forward.

While we appreciate Ed's additional requirements to be presented, less budget increases with the current scope of work led by Zach makes sense to us.

All of the proposed Intents make perfect sense. Excited to see Intent 2 can make impact on the growth of Optimism ecosystem.

It’s a minor, but important fix to improve the advanced delegation on Agora.

It’s great to see the continuous efforts to improve on the security, integrity and decentralization of the rollup.

Introducing the long-waited fault proofs is clearly one of the most important steps that Optimism should take. Considering the comments from Mofi, we vote FOR the proposal and rely on the coordination with the security council and OP Labs for the timing of the deployment.

We vote FOR the proposal at its Snapshot phase with the additional report included as the first selection. As described, this change will clearly increase the efficiency of the similar operations for the various initiatives. We would also like to see the election and term systems to be included in the Tally voting as suggested by other delegates. We don’t necessarily mind 1 year term, but it would be good to see staggered signer terms (e.g. 6 people cycles in 6 months.)

Described in the page

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally as the same reason provided in the Snapshot voting. We also understand that the deliverables that the team focuses on are as described, and our requested information will be delivered afterwards.

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally because we believe it’s important to provide a non-developer friendly UI to force transaction inclusions possibly regardless of sequencer being down or not for less trust assumptions.

We vote FOR the proposal on Tally because it’s very well-considered and positive to both of Arbitrum and Curve ecosystems as a whole. Additional commitments from Michael is great as well.

With the ReGOOSE update by hasu, we believe establishing the Lido Alliance would lead the direction toward a more decentralized and safer Ethereum ecosystem.

The proposal addresses key issues that are essential for Lido DAO’s future strategy.

We appreciate all the work the working group has produced and consider it rational to extend the research with a reasonable budget assigned to the passionate operator.

Same as the off-chain one

it’s clearly addressed the feedback on the Subsidy Fund proposal, the selection of the firm, DeDaub is solid (Excellent works with recognized projects), and the cost seems reasonable.

We generally agree with GFX Labs’ take on the process of having the applications immediately after the official application period. While there are some good ones, we believe they should have waited for the next round of the grant program (either the next LTIPP or a permanent program) to be ready. Only Curve one is an exception as it’s not marked as an LTIPP application and huge commitment promised by the Curve founder with a well-crafted application.

The proposal has been updated with additional commitments from the LTIPP advisors and promised program manager role as well as the data and audit reports by OBL for us to evaluate the results by the STIP and optimistically approve the additional fundings.

GovHack in ETHDenver was a success in terms of connecting the delegates, contributors and core team members (Foundation and OCL) to have a opportunity to gather and discuss important topics in the Arbitrum DAO. We enjoyed the event as a whole and fully support the succeeding one in Brussels.

While we vote for this option to signal the support for the overall initiative, we expect it to be revised by incorporating feedback

We generally support the initiative while the exact amount for the Arbitrum DAO to offer can be discussed more before the on-chain voting

We consider this proposal as a good experiment to enhance the powers that retail users have with the leverage powered by the product aligned with the Arbitrum vision.

The intension, implementation and audit reports look all good. We support the new addition to the governance system.

We assume this proposal was created based on careful considerations by the Grants Council and contributors and it’s generally considered optimal to reallocate unused funds to the needed area

Chose candidates for 1) Arbitrum codebase expert (fred) 2) security expert (Certora) 3) Arbitrum ecosystem expert (bartek.eth from L2BEAT) based on background diversity, technical capabilities and geographical diversity. 4k for bartek, 4k for Certora, and other 5k+ for fred.

We vote FOR the continuation of the program and the updated compensations for DA and PM as we did at its temp check voting. We have also confirmed that Questbook team suggest annual re-elections of the members which was a concern at the Snapshot phase and appropriately addressed in the forum.

We vote FOR the proposal while we understand that having trust-minimized options for unexpected emergencies is crucial to keep the protocol safe and that Lido is still on the way to achieve making them into protocols

Because of clear guidance provided by the council, we vote for most of the protocols besides some exceptions described in the the page.

We’d like to express full support of the initiative that covers a list of necessary improvements to be done for the better DAO operations by all parties and we are looking forward to seeing a great DAO tooling product thrive with the growth of the Arbitrum DAO.

We recognize the contributions by the early contributors and consider the rewards reasonable as a one-off.

Great step to experiment treasury diversifications with a group of experienced service providers to lead the program

We vote against it because we believe it's simply too rushed and more analysis is required for the experiment to be funded further.

Voted for Jordan from Event Horizon as other prominent candidates are already qualified for the next round

We appreciate the effort that PL has put in and agree with the lessons that they will address with the renewed budget and structure.

The proposal covers a list of necessary improvements to be done for the better DAO operations by all parties and we are looking forward to seeing a great DAO tooling product thrive with the growth of the Arbitrum DAO.

While the budget appears huge, the Arbitrum DAO needs to catch up with other L2 to make it home for the gaming projects and the initiative is much needed for the purpose.

While we have several questions to be answered, we vote for the proposal since we agree with its general direction.

We understand this is an important step for the automation to achieve further decentralization

As it has been proven to be the best approach to prioritize the native bridges to avoid liquidity fragmentation, we consider this approach to deploy wstETH should be the right decision.

We highly appreciate efforts made for the investigation by the team, and we believe this is a part of the process of making secure system.

As delegation has been proven to work well in the other DAOs, this is a great step for a better governance of Lido.

We believe it’s important to provide a non-developer friendly UI to force transaction inclusions and WakeUp team should be able to provide this with reasonable compensations.

We support the continuation of the program and the updated compensations for DA and PM. We also echo others who mentioned that the renewal of the DAs should be discussed and up for election in the future.

We are voting in favor of “Set L1 Surplus Fee and L2 Minimum Base Fee” because we believe DAO should prioritize UX over revenue at this moment.

40% each on Trail of Bits and OpenZeppelin, renowned security experts and 20% on Halborn who has started being involved in Arbitrum DAO with their great track record.

We are in favor of electing Chaos Labs because their track record related to risk assessment is great and the only candidate.

100% on L2BEAT/Ant Federation because what L2BEAT has done to Arbitrum and the ecosystem is amazing and a great candidate working with Ant Federation.

100% on Blockworks/Delphi because members who are more dedicated to Arbitrum DAO are involved while The Block is a prominent candidate for the Research Member

We are voting for the proposal because we are in full support of the activation that adopts EIP-4844 blobs to see a drastic reductions in transaction fees and additional changes to the OP stack from the L1 Dencun improvements.

We are in support of the proposed specs and implementations. The audit results are good to proceed without small fixes. While we think this change doesn't have to be passed with the Ecotone change, we vote for the proposal.

ICP is a good addition to the dYdX market.

While we see some improvements to be done by the newly formed EDP team especially on the transparent reporting, we support the program to continuously support the dYdX ecosystem.

We appreciate the effort by Offchain Labs to support EIP-4844 swiftly for the upcoming mainnet release and are confident these improvements make positive impact on the Arbitrum ecosystem.

The motivation and implementations are reasonable and we believe this change leads to a better election process of the Security Council members.

EOS is a reasonable addition to the dYdX market

ORDI is an interesting one and good to be in the dYdX market

JTO is a great addition to the dYdX market

We are in support of the proposal that makes governance more accessible to improvements of the dYdX chain.

We believe new members are great addition to the DOT

As stated in our snapshot voting, we believe the pilot program has been improved with new actors and considerable thoughts and effort so that it will make impact to the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Voted for all requests except for 3B (We'd wait for the impact made by WLTA), 3C (Not quite clear what it can achieve with a huge budget), 3D (Abstain as a dYdX delegate), 3M (Not quite sure if it's worth a mission request)

All mission requests have potentials that make impact per token spent.

The intention to the main changes is reasonable. The specs look good. Other two changes (a fix on a potential issue during an upgrade and token creation related changes) look also good (though the third change seems unrelated to the main changes.)

Voted for all requests except for 2K (we’d see if ETHCC one succeeds), 2C (better with Foundation support) and 2I (Agreed with Krzysztof on focusing on phase 1 with less budget)

All of those development related requests are promising to make impact depending on applications.

We believe BNB market is a great addition to the dYdX chain

We believe AAVE market is a great addition to the market

This should be evaluated based on a specific framework and by a group of members who are experienced in gaming and its grant system.

We appreciate all the work put by Arbiters during the launch of Arbitrum, but are against their retro rewards because 1) they have already received some compensations from the Foundation. 2) there were no key measurements or criteria set for the rewards when it comes to managing the Discord community. It should have been clearly discussed beforehand with the Foundation or whoever manages the Discord or local communities.

Both changes make sense and the code is simple with unit tests and audit by ToB.

Great step to experiment treasury diversifications with a group of experienced service providers to lead the program

The motivation and implementations are reasonable and we believe this change leads to a better election process of the Security Council members.

JUP is an upcoming and promising token for the dYdX to add to the market and see the data to be ready for the permissionless market introduction

It’s favorable to form a committee to be specialized in procurement for the DAO and we have a great selection of members working on this initiative.

We appreciate rigorous and thorough analysis on the first distribution of the launch incentives by Chaos Labs and look forward to the coming distributions

We are in full support of the Foundation to keep their work within dYdX and collaborate with us and other stakeholders.

Voted 40% for Joseph as he should lead the committee, voted 30% each for Jeff and Bernard to support him with ample experiences that they have

To achieve the revised Stage1 designation, we believe increasing the threshold to 9/12 is the vital first step to improve the council

Now that the CoC exists in Optimism Collective, it makes sense to rely on it to properly manage the issues around grant misusage with the process clearly ratified.

“Span Batches” to be introduced with this upgrade reduces the L1 costs for OP chains, which is nothing but great for the Optimism ecosystem.

Introducing the ICA host submodule and other improvements is welcome changes to the chain and we are in full support of the upgrade

We believe this is the essential first step to rewards active delegates and continuous commitments from existing and new dedicated participants to the DAO. We appreciate the careful considerations and clearly outlined evaluation process.

We are in support of the initiative to go forward after the diligent considerations and amendments made to improve the original proposal. It's great to see a democratic process to choose the service providers to address issues that have been discussed for a while.

Chose 3 candidates. Clarified the reasonings in the description.

Clarified in https://twitter.com/tanelabs/status/1749078806877397499

An improved version of the STIP and we believe it's worth trying it as a pilot

No reason to oppose to continuous updates to the Arbitrum stack

Any changes to the chain state should be done when it’s absolutely required, and we don’t consider this case to be one of them.

We believe it’s a great idea to move governance for existing components into the new system

We believe it’s a great addition to the dYdX to have TIA and upcoming tokens that have potential to attract more traders and volumes

While 10% discount is not ideal for the DAO, Wintermute is dYdX’s one of the long-time partners and we believe it’s important to seed the insurance fund sooner rather than waiting for better offers.

While we agree with the points that prominent delegates who voted abstain, we believe the motivation and the selection of the members are solid and meaningful for Optimism, thus we vote for the ratification of the council members selected by the Foundation.

No objection to include well-tested and less critical changes to the protocol into the Optimism stacks. Side note: great summary of the upgrade in the forum, but the proposal description can better incorporate it with organized structure.

While it’s not an ideal solution, the social committee approach is the best mitigation solution that we can apply at this point. We also expect the capable group of contributors to come up with a framework to better address the MEV in the future.

It’s critical to move forward with the incentive programs despite the fact that there are still concerns on the centralization of staking to top X validators. We expect users/traders/stakers to stake more once the trading ramps up the volume and staking APR is available for them.

Chose those three for their activities and contributions in the forum

Chose Jack Anorak and Gonna.eth for their technical capabilities and Kaereste for their involvement as L2BEAT

MMhurthy for his experiences in building Karma, Raho for his contributions to the Arbitrum STIP, and Curia for their continuous contributions to the protocols

While many unclear points are not being discussed (e.g. how to select a chain and how much tokens to delegate, etc), this is important for the Optimism family to grow based on shared vision and aligned incentives

It’s good for the Collective to be responsible for the budgets and spends on all Intents going forward in the coming Seasons. The budgets seem reasonable and we are looking forward to the outcome made by the initiatives supported by them.

This is a critical step to structure rules for chains using OP Stack to be aligned and grow together as an alliance

Chose 3 members for their experience in Optimism governance and 2 members for their expertises to be effective to resolve conflicts based on CoC

We believe we are ready to go for the trading with all markets available on the dYdX Chain

The idea of having an organization like this is appealing but the details, structure and framework need to be further discussed and reach to consensus before deciding to fund it

No reason to be against the idea of the consolidation

DAO shouldn’t reward contributors without the information about who they are, what each of them has done and how they are selected and others are not.

This bridging of the Community and Rewards Treasuries is the critical step to properly bootstrap the dYdX Chain with the proposed Launch Incentive Program and other initiatives, and it’s important for the community to fully support its implementation and execution.

The most important expertise required for a security council member is the deep knowledge with the protocol tech stacks and Harry, CTO of Offchain Labs is undoubtedly the best candidate.

While we believe the security is paramountly important in the self-custody environment and what Webacy has been doing is clearly beneficial to the whole ecosystem, there are a couple of reasons that the proposal is not fit for STIP grant distributions: 1) the justification of the requested grant size is weak compared to the outcome. 2) incentives are prone to sybil attacks 3) not clear incentives to Arbitrum itself

Camelot kicked off this STIP movement, and diligently tried to get aligned with what it can do for Arbitrum throughout the process. Definitely beneficial for Arbitrum to have Camelot thrive as one of the household names.

While Vertex is an interesting protocol to thrive in Arbitrum, we abstain because we are an Endorsed Delegate of dYdX which is the direct competitor of Vertex from users’ perspective.

Tally’s mission is to advance on-chain governance further and it’s aligned very well with L2 like Arbitrum because of its lower gas. The requested grant size is reasonable and we believe that the Tally team is diligently allocating them to the DAOs on Arbitrum, which would make impact on Arbitrum with the great governance tool.

On top of the raised concerns around dominance of stETH in Ethereum, the justifications of the grant size seems weak and off as stETH related trading volume is already huge. We would like Lido to propose their request in another way, address concerns and focus on properly introducing the native stETH in Arbitrum.

unshETH is very unique and natively supported on Arbitrum. It’s good to contribute to decentralization of liquid staking tokens. The requested grant size is reasonable.

We’ve seen their founders active in the NYC crypto meetups and spoken highly of Arbitrum in terms of experiences on the platform. The reasonable requested grant size. We believe the incentive is to be used to promote more interesting use within the ecosystem.

Pendle is bringing interest derivative market into DeFi and evolving the ecosystem with unique offerings. The requested grant size is reasonable and set out to be used efficiently.

While GMX is a leading protocol to thrive in Arbitrum, we abstain because we are an Endorsed Delegate of dYdX which is the direct competitor of GMX from users’ perspective.
