November 2024 Voting Updates
(V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
Vote: For
Type: On Chain
As per our vote For this proposal in the Snapshot phase, we voted in support of this proposal onchain as well. We appreciated the retainer aspect and therefore voted for the 1.76M ARB allocation since it may reduce the overall cost of the programs. This is the option that passed the Snapshot vote, in line with our perspective.
Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025
Vote: For
Type: On Chain
A more systematic approach to events is something that the DAO has needed for some time now. The disorganization and competition between multiple groups looking to run events is not favorable. And so, as per our offchain vote in favor of this proposal, we are also voting For it onchain.
Adopt a Delegate Code of Conduct & Formalize Operations
Vote: For
Type: Snapshot
We voted in favor of this proposal—our team believes that a clear set of explicit guidelines is prudent for ensuring cordial participation in the DAO. Beyond general decorum, this code of conduct can allow participants like the Seed team to point towards explicit violations in the agreed code to potentially blacklist certain delegates and revoke their ability to profit from Arbitrum. Such a setup is much better than pointing towards some arbitrary social handbook that hasn’t been agreed on by a majority of the DAO. The election standards are also very much welcome as we’ve seen some discord in the past regarding self-voting.
[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2
Vote: Abstain
Type: Snapshot
We are in favor of the overall proposal, however, a good chunk of the specifics around committee members selection and operations accountability we are hesitant at. Some of the communication from the committee members themselves has been both hazy and negative, so we are apprehensive to be in support with this exact structure.
October Delegate Incentive Program
The UADP received October delegate incentive from the Arbitrum DAO’s Delegate Incentive Program this month.
A total of 4,055.21 ARB was sent to our multisig (0x8326D18edfC50B4335113C33b25116ec268FF3fE). This amount is based on a couple of criteria: snapshot participation, onchain participation, communicating rationale behind the votes, and productive forum conversation, based on the quality of the feedback provided on the forums.
This first initiative is a 6 month period with goals to renew it continuously. We are splitting these tokens in the following manner:
- 50% of the ARB stays with the UADP multisig for the sake of increasing the longevity of this program with the goal of one day self being self funded.
- 50% is split evenly among the two UADP contributors
