Arbitrum retter tokenallokeringsregistre, da AIP 1.1 & 1.2 går til en on-chain afstemning

The Arbitrum blockchain last month morphed to integrate DAO governance following a successful, albeit controversial, airdrop. The layer two ecosystem drew even more attention in the first half of April after a tendentious governance proposal (AIP 1) floated by the Arbitrum Foundation resulted in a dispute within the community.

Sætter posterne i orden

To resolve the arising issues, the community agreed to separate the first proposal into two, i.e., AIP 1.1 and AIP 1.2, in order to accommodate changes and other previously unaccounted-for provisions. In a tweet on Tuesday, Arbitrum said the pair will now advance to an on-chain vote.

“Med snapshot temperaturkontrollen, der når konsensus til fordel for AIP 1.1 & 1.2, vil forslagene blive gjort live på Tally for en on-chain afstemning, underlagt en rutinemæssig revision af kodebasen og ændringer, som i øjeblikket er i gang.”

Beyond the governance milestone, Arbitrum has continued making strides to become wholly community-governed.

Arbitrum Foundation gennemfører problemfri DAO‑airdrop

Arbitrum’s overgang til decentraliseret styring i midten af marts skabte Arbitrum DAO som den “ultimative styrende organ”, der har til opgave at overvåge og beskytte økosystemet ved at handle i dets bedste interesse. Den nyoprettede enhed vil udnytte en selvudførende styringsmodel til at implementere sine beslutninger.

“Arbitrum DAO vil have mulighed for at godkende yderligere Layer 2‑kæder på Ethereum, uanset om kæden styres af $ARB, hvilket sikrer, at fællesskabet har fuld kontrol over Arbitrum’s fremtid og teknologi,” læste primer-bloggen.

To spur growth on Arbitrum, the Foundation also set aside a 1.13% token allocation of the entire ARB airdrop supply for an airdrop to building teams and companies that have contributed to its growth. This allotment would be separate from the supply of tokens distributed to the early adopters of the layer two scaling system and participants at the testnet phase. On Tuesday, the Arbitrum Foundation embarked on the agreed-upon distribution of 113 million ARB tokens to eligible decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) wallets.

Det større billede: Økosystemvækst

In the last 48 hours, several analytic teams, including Nansen, Arkham, and LookOnChain, have shared updates on the allocation. Treasure, GMX, Uniswap, SushiSwap, and Dopex DAOs are the top five largest recipients, cumulatively set to receive as much as 28.5 million tokens. The list of qualifying teams also featured Curve, Balancer, and Protocol Guild, which have received significant allocations of between 3 and 4 million ARB each. More than 120 other projects, including MakerDAO, Uniswap, and 1inch Network met the criteria and are part of the ARB airdrop, receiving at least 75,000 ARB tokens.
The eligible DAO teams will have independence on how to use the share of tokens in their treasuries as spelt out in documents on token distribution. Lido foreslog for to uger siden at bruge sin påståede ARB‑airdrop på 772.621 tokens (cirka $1,2 million) som emissionsbelønninger for at tilskynde likviditetsudbydere i indpakkede, stakede ether‑puljer på Arbitrum. I en tweet, der anerkendte airdrop’en mandag, sagde den Arbitrum‑native styringsaggregator PlutusDAO, at den vil bruge midlerne til at fremme udviklingen på Plutus.

Markedsaktivitet

Notably, some of the receiving addresses sold their claims. One entity ‘TRIDENT’ disposed of 131,345 ARB held across three addresses, trading them for $172,000. Notwithstanding, the latest developments pertaining to token allocation don’t necessarily call for caution among holders.

Besides, the volume of dumped tokens is meager compared to an incident earlier this month when two whales separately sold off 2.03 million ARB and 1.7 million ARB tokens. ARB token was, at writing, trading up 8.15% on the day and closing in on $1.45.

Netværksaktivitet

Arbitrum’s networks have fared decently, for the most part, this month, with daily transactions exceeding Ethereum’s on a couple of occasions. Data from DeFi analytics platform Artemis shows Arbitrum’s daily activity surpassed that of Ethereum thrice between April 17 and April 23.

Sidste uge afslørede Arbitrum i en opdatering, at Arbitrum One’s netværk havde behandlet mere end 200 millioner transaktioner. Ikke desto mindre har økosystemets forsøg på at tiltrække flere udviklere og udvide sit fællesskab endnu ikke leveret succes.

På den ene side rangerer Arbitrum bag Ethereum, Tron og BNB Chain i forhold til total låst værdi (TVL), hvor dets protokol samlet set bidrager til en TVL på næsten $2,2 milliard ifølge DeFiLlama-data. Dog er udvikleraktiviteten på netværket utilstrækkelig. Token Terminal data viser, at antallet af kerneudviklere er faldet i april efter at have toppet 32 i slutningen af marts.
