After aggregating feedback from the community and key DAO stakeholders, the Working Group Zero (WG0) members for this proposal (@bernard, @Stastny, @Doo_Stablelab, and @Juanbug) have made relevant alterations. Please see the full, final proposal here.
As delegates for both Uniswap and Arbitrum, we Michigan Blockchain are in support of and have sponsored this proposal because we believe that it introduces harmonious relationships between two prominent DAOs. It takes 25% of the total ARB airdrop and dedicates it to funding Uni-Arb-based projects; the other 25% of the total ARB airdrop will be allotted to a meta-governance initiative, where a Uniswap DAO-led multisig will vote on Arbitrum DAO proposals.
It will likely be a customary practice in the coming years to commingle governance tokens between different DAO treasuries, thereby aligning incentives and strategies to grow the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole. This proposal allows Uniswap to begin leading such initiatives.
Another highlight of this proposal is that the theoretical benefits are substantiated with a detailed plan. A structure for how the allocated $ARB will be utilized operationally is submitted, with clear goals and mechanisms to sustain the longevity of this proposal–such as the transition of multisig signers and the continual reporting of KPIs relating to both the UAGP and Protocol Delegate Program.
