Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
Arbitrum DAO would likely focus on supporting and governing the Arbitrum ecosystem. Potential goals for Arbitrum DAO could include:

1. Decentralization: Encourage community participation in decision-making related to the Arbitrum network’s development, upgrades, and ecosystem growth.
2. Ecosystem Growth: Support projects and initiatives that drive adoption of the Arbitrum network by developers, users, and businesses.
3. Security: Ensure the continued security and integrity of the Arbitrum network by funding research, audits, and infrastructure improvements.
4. Interoperability: Promote collaboration with other Layer 2 and Layer 1 blockchain networks to enhance cross-chain compatibility and user experience.
5. Education: Foster awareness and understanding of the Arbitrum network and its benefits through educational materials, developer resources, and community outreach.
6. Financial Incentives: Strategically manage liquidity mining, staking, or other incentive programs to boost network usage and strengthen the ecosystem.
7. Sustainability: Implement and support initiatives that minimize the environmental impact of the Arbitrum network and contribute to long-term sustainability.

Ultimately, the specific goal(s) of a DAO should be determined through the consensus of its community members, aligned with their shared values and vision for the organization’s future.

My stance on liquidity mining:
A balanced and creative approach is recommended for liquidity mining. I believe it’s required to position Arbitrum at the top of L2 competition by boosting growth and network effects. However, we must consider the disadvantages, such as:

1. Inflation and token value dilution: Aggressive liquidity mining can lead to excessive token supply, potentially causing inflation and diluting token value
2. Unsustainable growth: Attracting users solely through incentives may not be sustainable, as they might leave once incentives decrease
3. Short-termism: Overemphasis on liquidity mining could overshadow long-term value creation, leading to an unstable ecosystem

Answers to Sample Voting Issue 1:

1. How would you vote?
   Against
2. Proposals should not be written in a biased manner. A rewriting of the proposal by the same team with active collaboration with other market participants and competitors is recommended.
3. Grants can be governed differently based on their size. For instance, the DAO can vote to fund and enable micro grant distributors that are more agile. They can be assessed every six months by the DAO who can stop/continue their funding.

Answers to Sample Voting Issue 2:
Split Reimbursement: The best approach involves transparent communication, thorough investigation, and community decision-making. Reimbursement may be considered if it’s technically feasible, aligns with the community’s values, and maintains the ecosystem’s integrity.

Disclosure of Conflict(s) of Interest:
I believe that I have no conflicts of interest. I may hold multiple L2 assets now or in the future. However, I’ll do my best to use my votes as the voice of Arbitrum community.
