ArbitrumDAO: A Year Review with Lessons Learnt, Interesting Research Questions & Fut... | Devcon SEA

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

The ArbitrumDAO was born in March 2023. To date, the DAO has voted on 280+ temperature checks (snapshot), 40+ on-chain proposals (tally) & allocated 400m ARB. We take this time to reflect on a few questions: - Why should an L2 care about governance with on-chain voting? - How is the DAO's organisational structure evolving over time? - What does a DAO like to vote on? - Can too much decentralization lead to oscillation? Finally, a list of interesting research questions for others to tackle.
