Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget
Vote: For
Type: Snapshot
Increasing a budget continually for programs, typically, is a net negative. Budgets are inherently meant to restrict the amount of funding allocated to given initiatives. But unlike most circumstances, we have decided to make an exception in this scenario due to the clear importance of Stylus on Arbitrum’s competitiveness.
Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal
Vote: Against
Type: Snapshot
We’d like to wait until the direction and results of the AVI program are formally assessed and completed. Until then, introducing this program feels a bit premature. Sure, there are aspects of this that have merit, and it’s a program that we would like to see put into place. But the specifics are not quite concrete, and the online nature of the program may not bring sufficient traction. This is partly why it seems the KPIs aren’t as clear/attractive. If the budget were to be reduced once AVI work is complete, we’re open to revisiting this initiative.
[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto
Vote: For
Type: Snapshot
This was a straightforward Yes vote for us since the noted upgrades allow Arbitrum to keep up to date with innovations occuring on Ethereum.
Arbitrum Audit Program
Vote: For
Type: Snapshot
Higher degrees of efficiency can be feasibly achieved if functions such as audits can be brought in-house under the purview of the Arbitrum Foundation/OCL. Although we still believe that there are critical initiatives and vendors that should be more formally elected by the DAO and externalized to 3rd party teams, we believe that this program works well if made more “centralized.” If the ADPC would be using the AF’s experience anyways, it only makes sense from a resource allocation perspective to allow for AF to have closer control over the auditing program.
January Delegate Incentive Program
The UADP has not yet received its January delegate incentive from the Arbitrum DAO’s Delegate Incentive Program—apparently due to Safe issues. We will update the summed compensation for January and February in our March forum post.
