Arbitrum DAO Considers $1.5 Million Plan to Encourage Active Voting

According to ChainCatcher, Arbitrum DAO is currently voting on a $1.5 million proposal aimed at rewarding representatives for active participation in voting. The proposal, introduced on November 19, seeks to reduce voter apathy and enhance active voting rights. To qualify for rewards, representatives must hold at least 200,000 ARB voting rights, participate in voting on proposals, and publicly disclose their voting rationale within five days. The reward amount is determined by the representative's share of voting rights, the type of proposal, and the remaining budget. Major on-chain votes can earn up to $700 each, while smaller off-chain votes have a cap of $300. As of the end of today's voting, Snapshot data indicates that 55.8% support the plan, 27.5% abstain, and 16.5% oppose it. The plan is set to run for an initial period of one year, with the DAO Operations Committee tracking expenditures and managing the budget quarterly. If the plan ends early, any remaining funds will be returned.
