DAO memberships, votes and proposal

What area are you most interested in contributing to? choose up tot wo tags:

  • Public Goods funding
  • Tooling, Improving protocol decentralization

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

The DAO should serve the long term health and security of the rollups, and should favor long term sustainability over short term gains. It should promote values like censorship resistance, decentralization, and security. The DAO should support Ethereum and other core infrastructure projects that Arbitrum depends on.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

  1. Against
  2. The proposal gave too much centralized power to a small number of individuals. I’d amend it to something like I describe in 3.
  3. I’d start with a version that errs on the side of decentralization and give it a few months. If it proves too hard to get things done, have the DAO elect committees, compensate committee members to ensure proper attention, and hold them accountable to it through the constitution. The DAO would occasionally reelect these committees.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

My vote would depend on the source of funds for the reimbursement, and in any case I would only vote for partial reimbursement.

I would vote against any reimbursement paid by the public in any way. The protocol wasn’t sufficiently battle-tested, users knew this going in, since the protocol was moving faster than some other more conservative projects. Their losses shouldn’t be socialized.

I would vote for a partial reimbursement if it is paid by the protocol’s treasury or founders. It makes sense for the protocol stakeholders to show accountability and share the burden since they were in a position to secure it.

I would vote against reimbursement of anything over 80%, no matter who pays for it. We should not condition users to expect a bailout because it promotes carelessness. Users should learn to do their due diligence and prefer protocols that invest in security.

Languages I speak and write:

English, Hebrew

Disclosure of Conflict(s) of Interest:

Full disclosures:

  • I’m a member of the Arbitrum security council.
  • I’m also a delegate in the governance of other L2 chains but do not hold a stake there.

I do not see these as a conflict of interest but disclosing them in case anyone else does.
