- Outside of this proposal, has arbiters ever received any ARB and retroactive rewards from the DAO or Foundation?
Arbiter have only received donations of 6500-7000 USDC (per arbiter) from the foundation. Apart from this, there are no other donations, retroactive rewards and airdrops of any kind.
When considering USDC rewards, the foundation only considers part of the arbiter’s contribution in the Arbitrum discord, and the evaluation metric is only the number of mesages that help community members. This does not include all contributions made by arbiters in the Arbitrum discord as well as prominent contributions outside of the discord.
arbiter seeks retroactive rewards for other outstanding contributions. The foundation and some delegates suggested that arbiters seek remaining funding from the Arbitrum DAO.
- Some delegates suggested: from output driven KPIs (“I have answered xx tickets”) to impact-focused metrics (“we have onboarded xx new users”).

Summary: This proposal proposes to allocate 125,000 $ARB tokens, equal to 0.00125% of the total supply, to recognize and reward the outstanding contributions of the Arbitrum community member known as "Arbiter". Arbiter receives the arbiter community role in the arbitrum discord after having made significant contributions to Arbitrum, as recognized by members of the Arbitrum team.
Over the three-year period 2021-2023, these contributors played a key role in the development of Arbitrum, from translating, advising, publicizing, and docking projects to community support, fraud prevention, and docking activities etc. At the time of the Arbitrum DAO's inception, Arbiters did not receive any airdrops or rewards.
By establishing a transparent and fair reward system through the Arbitrum DAO, our goal is to recognize past contributions and inspire continued dedication to the development of the Arbitrum ecosystem. Considering that arbiters did not keep proof of their contributions before and after the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO, and that a great deal of their work could not be counted or quantified, the dedication of each arbiter is also exceptionally valuable.
All members of arbiters unanimously agreed to initiate the proposal as a whole and agreed on an equal share of the reward amount.
Foreword: 25 Arbiters come from different countries with different time zones, speak different languages. Arbiters have been deprecated by the Arbitrum team, and it has become extremely difficult to bring arbiters together. Arbiters who have made outstanding contributions to the Arbitrum community from 2021 to 2023. Compared to on-chain activists and ecosystem projects which have conducted a large number of airdrops, arbiters haven’t received any airdrop retroactive rewards
Considering the large number of contributions made by arbiters prior to the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO that have not been effectively preserved, and the fact that there are many members whose work cannot be counted and quantified, and that the dedication of each arbiter has been exceptionally valuable, all members of the arbiters have agreed that arbiters as a whole should initiate the proposal. All members of Arbiters unanimously agreed to initiate the proposal and apply for retroactive awards for Arbiters as a whole.
Arbiter as a whole (or project) is asking for retroactive rewards. If each member's contribution is listed one by one to make a forced comparison, this will bring arbiter infinite tug-of-war, mutual disputes, suspicion etc.. At the same time, Arbiter is not professional to establish a very systematic and perfect evaluation system.
Special statement: As the earliest arbitrum contributor, arbiter is retroactively obtaining voting rights and voice in the governance of Arbitrum DAO. The Arbitrum DAO airdrop to early adopters and ecosystem projects also does not take price into account, but rather the weight of governance. The choice of 125,000 $ARB is fully considered (explained in detail below). If the current arb price is $0.1, the arbiter also only apply for 125,000 $ARB, which has little to do with price.
Motivation: The Arbitrum community thrives on collaboration, decentralization, and the Ethereum community spirit. This proposal aligns with these principles and strives to:
1.Recognize the exceptional contributions made by Arbiters to Arbitrum’s development.
2.Demonstrate the spirit of collaboration and decentralization within the Arbitrum ecosystem, ensuring its long-term sustainability.
3.Establish a clear and equitable reward mechanism through the Arbitrum DAO, ensuring that Arbiters are treated fairly.
4.Inspire more individuals to actively participate in the advancement of the Arbitrum ecosystem by retroactively rewarding Arbiters.
Rationale: The Arbitrum community, driven by its contributors, has been instrumental in shaping Arbitrum over the past two years. These dedicated individuals have contributed significantly through a wide range of activities, including translation, promotion, event organization, community guidance, safety assurance, and collaboration with other communities. These efforts have been essential to the success and vibrancy of the Arbitrum community.
Response to numerous delegates' concerns about Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 1.0: Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 1.0 https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal/18557/74
1. What is Arbiter?
The definition given by the team：Essentially in the first year+ the Discord needed help with active moderation and community engagement due to bandwidth, and there were people (Arbiters) who were quite active and asked to help out, and thus the role was incepted and given to people who wanted to participate with a recognized role.
Arbiters think that Arbiter is an early contributor who joined Arbitrum out of love for Arbitrum, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the Arbitrum community over a 2+ year period from 2021-2023. After confirmation by the team, they get the Arbiter community role in the Arbitrum Discord.
2. Why did the Arbiters initiate this proposal? After the Arbitrum DAO was established, there was a large-scale airdrop for the Arbitrum network early adopters and ecosystem projects.
However, Arbiters did not receive airdrop retroactive rewards after the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO. Arbiters, as an important early contributor to the Arbitrum ecosystem, have not been given any right to speak and vote in the development of the Arbitrum DAO.
3. why doesn't this proposal have a plan for future Arbiter contributions and a sustainable reward framework? We are only seeking a one-time retroactive reward from the Arbitrum DAO for the arbiter's contributions over the past 2+ years. the Arbitrum Foundation has already hired its own review/client support team and launched an ambassador program.
The Arbitrum team has made it clear that arbiters have been deprecated, so we are unable to assess and plan for Arbiter's future contributions at this time. Deprecated arbiters are not able to explore a sustainable compensation plan incentive, as the role of Arbiter has been replaced by the Arbitrum team's audit/customer support team, the Ambassador program.
Members of the Arbitrum Foundation also made it clear: the proposal in discussion is for a retroactive reward and not a future or ongoing one, so this fact wouldn’t be too valuable I don’t think.
4. Why is the activity spans of some members 156 days instead of 2 years?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kjVQ-utNitq8Xr5zp0yYOMg1ufCaHn6g/edit#gid=503597285
This is because some members were mistakenly kicked off the Arbitrum server by the arbitrum bot at various times. That's why the table shows the least amount of time at 156 days, and some of the contribution records have been deleted.
5. The Messages of arbiter members in the Arbitrum Discord server are quite different. Why not make contribution evaluation based on the number of messages?
There are a large number of Chinese users in the Arbitrum dc server. Taking into account the huge needs of Chinese users and the Chinese community manager NinaRong (team member), the Arbitrum team opened a Chinese channel. (In the long time from 2021 to 2023, there only one language channel in Arbitum DC, which is the Chinese channel.)
Chinese channel activity accounts for more than 50% of the entire Arbitrum community activity. In the Chinese channel, developers and users have huge needs and questions for help, and they are also the most numerous.
Most of the members with the most messages in Arbiter are Chinese. Chinese contributors in the arbiter can use their native language, making communication easier and faster. It is unfair to arbiters from other countries, because only the Chinese area has language channels, so the arbiters in the Chinese area can speak in DC in Chinese and English, while other areas use English.
Due to low activity on other channels, there is less need for help from users. Arbiter members from other countries must also use English instead of their native language when contributing to other channels.
In contrast, the arbiter in the Chinese area has many more messages than other arbiters.
6. Why doesn’t the Arbiters provide all the contribution links and examples? When we first became Arbiters, we all joined contributed to Offchain Labs with our love, Arbiters didn't know each other and didn't know that OffChain Labs would be sending airdrop rewards and establish Arbitrum DAO in the future, so we didn't designate a dedicated person to manage and keep information about everyone's contributions, and the Arbiters themselves didn't keep their own contributions either.
And, also, due to the dissolution of the Arbitrum team members' Notion and Advocacy groups, and some of Arbiter's local regulatory policies on the cryptocurrency industry, a lot of information has been lost and invalidated, Arbiters are not able to provide. Arbiter's contributions are also complex, and it is not possible to list all of them in a proposal or a summary table. For example, there are thousands of messages to promote Arbitrum, and it would be impractical to list every single one of them.
7.Why are rewards not distributed according to each individual's contribution? All arbiters agreed that it would be manifestly unfair and difficult to strike a balance if the contribution of a particular Arbiter was evaluated from a single perspective. Every Arbiter agrees that the reward would be equally divided to each Arbiter.
Arbiter is a whole entity, but not everyone's contribution is exactly the same, and as mentioned above, a large amount of contribution data is lost and are invalidated. Some Arbiters have been mainly focusing on helping other members in Discord; and some Arbiters, in addition to serving the members in discord, have been doing translations, publicizing, matchmaking projects, offering advice, and conducting promotional activities outside of discord such as AMA.
We are trying to distribute rewards retroactively by the amount of contributed data provided by Arbiter, but it requires several sets of assessment criteria for how to assess the data for doing publicity, doing translation, providing suggestions, and conducting AMA. And some members' contribution links are not working or contribution data is not saved. A large number of Arbitrum original and translated articles, blogs and other materials exist in Arbitrum arbiter Notion, but Notion has been disbanded by team members
As an early contributor to the arbitrum community, it is more than estimable that Arbiter's dedication should be promoted and recognized on a larger scale.
Therefore, it is obviously unfair and difficult to strike a balance if one arbiter's contribution is evaluated from a single perspective, and it is more reasonable for Arbiter as a whole (or project) to apply for retroactive rewards, while all arbiters agreed and decided to submit all contributions in aggregate and the rewards are equally distributed, which does not destroy the unity of the group and allows the contributing arbiters as a whole to receive retroactive rewards. Reward.
8. Will rewards be distributed to multi-signature wallets? Although Arbiters are rewarded retroactively as a whole, arbiters do not know each other and have never met. To ensure security, we will require the Foundation to collect all wallet addresses and provide them to the DAO for verification and arb distribution.
9.why ask for 125,000 $ARB bonus and not more or less? As the earliest arbitrum contributor, arbiter is retroactively obtaining voting rights and voice in the governance of Arbitrum DAO. The Arbitrum DAO airdrop to early adopters and ecosystem projects also does not take price into account, but rather the weight of governance. The choice of 125,000 $ARB was carefully considered. If the current arb price is $0.1, the arbiter also only apply for 125,000 $ARB, which has little to do with price.
Why choose 125,000 $ARB? We considered this from four aspects:
The first aspect:
Consider based on the amount of retrospective rewards from Arbitrum DAO to early adopters and ecosystem project airdrops, as well as from other communities to early contributors.
https://docs.arbitrum.foundation/airdrop-eligibility-distribution#distribution-post-aips-11-and-12
Distribution of Early Adopter Incentive Criteria
Arbitrum network Early Adopters：Users of the Arbitrum platform (via airdrop to user wallet addresses)，Number of arb tokens: 1.162 billion
In one month, users can get more than 1000-3000 $ARB just by reaching a certain level of interaction with the Arbitrum network. The one with the highest airdrop reward will receive 10,250 $ARB.
Arbitrum airdrops 113 million $ARB to 137 DAOs or projects:

Proposal to Backfund Successful STIP Proposals (21.4M $ARB to 26 DAOs or projects:)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e_HagHx883ezMlRKH3E0Ir6K_ZkoEEXzDIxPRHxKTng/edit#gid=529573171
Arbiters as the earliest contributors with two years of high quality help to the development of Arbitrum. We finalized a total reward of 25x5,000=125,000 $ARB based on Arbitrum's initial on-chain activity reward benchmarks, and we think it's fair to get 0.5x the highest standard of Arbitrum airdrops. The retroactive amount is even conservative considering the time and effort arbitrators put into making the community a better place. It is important to understand that the $ARB token is a governance token and as such it represents voting rights. From this perspective, the allocation of 125,000 $ARB tokens to arbiter as a whole or the project seems to be directly proportional to the impact Arbiter has had and the time, energy and effort they have invested in the voting rights that will give Arbiter a voice and a vote in the future of Arbitrum.
Imagine if all the Arbiters put their entire contribution for more than 2 years into the Arbitrum network interaction, the on-chain reward will be much more than 125,000 arb.
In terms of airdrops to ecosystem projects, Arbiter as a whole has brought a great deal of help and impact to Arbitrum, and far-reaching. Arbiter believes that 125,000 $ARB is a reasonable range.
Also, just want to re-emphasize Arbiters are very much want to participate in the governance of Arbitrum DAO, retrospective will make Arbiters in the future of Arbitrum have certain right to speak and vote.
The second aspect: Retroactive rewards for early contributors from other programs or communities as a reference
Almost all major projects have token airdrops for web3 community contributors. Percentage of other communities rewarding early contributors:

A large number of other projects have had large airdrops for community contributors, such as 1inch, DYDX, APT, Namada, etc.
The Third Aspect: Quantifying the contribution of Arbiters as a whole All data below are examples only, for categorization and more specific information please check: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjSCrAYJg2A1T5r8YpZx5BbfLQeyhBePqPtW5pA83dU/edit#gid=336825191

Since 2021-2023, the work and contributions made by Arbiters are too numerous to be listed one by one. And due to the lack of targeted data statistics and retention in advance, a large number of missing and invalid contribution data cannot be listed separately and specifically quantified.
But, consider that, Arbiters provided millions times of help to Arbitrum community users and developers. It allows Arbitrum team members to focus more on the development of technology, and also allows millions of Arbitrum community members to get answers to all kinds of questions and needs feedback. (Anyone can view the help and contributions of the arbitrators on the arbitrum Discord server, wechat groups, and other language communities, etc.)
Arbiters are online 24/7 (in Odyssey and Guild activities related to many arbiters are 16 + hours online, for community members to provide the most immediate, high-quality help) arbiter two years, has been involved in the maintenance and management of the community order, to report and stop more than 100,000 times of the scam, to ensure that hundreds of thousands of members of the community are able to get help in a timely manner and to keep the server safe.
Though cannot list all the contributions here, we try to list part of contributions as below:
Creation date of this spreadsheet 27/10/2023 Arbiter's joining date and message data in Arbitrum Discord(Creation date of this spreadsheet 27/10/2023): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kjVQ-utNitq8Xr5zp0yYOMg1ufCaHn6g/edit#gid=503597285
Remark:
1. The arbiter does not have permission to edit the table, so it cannot modify the table content;
2. This data statistics only counts 19 arbiters.
3. Some arbiters were accidentally kicked out of the arbiter dc by robots, so the time and some message statistics are inaccurate. (Screenshot as evidence)
4. For more accurate data, please view Arbiter’s personal contribution summary table
Out of Discord:
As an example of a Chinese community WeChat group, there are dozens of Arbitrum Chinese WeChat groups, and a large number of responses to community members' questions are received every day. But it has been disbanded due to policy reasons. Team members Nina and Jason testified about this
Video Proof： https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SmkNcA-aZQuNozPhf1ay6BiMM5wAfOWb/view The above examples can be proved by team members Nina, Jason, etc.
Retroactive Reward Evaluation: Provided millions of help to Arbitrum community users and developers. It allows Arbitrum team members to focus more on the development of technology, and also allows millions of Arbitrum community members to get answers to all kinds of questions and needs feedback. (Anyone can view the high quality help and contributions of the arbitrators on the arbitrum Discord server, wechat groups, and other language communities, etc.)
2. Contribution categories: Scam report Sample data display: Scam reporting, including assisting the team in reporting scam websites and Twitter: there are many reports, and for two and a half years, whenever a scam is discovered, it is reported. The number cannot be counted. Since 2021, scams have been happening all the time in the arbitrum community, and arbiters are trying to catch scams all the time. We also remind community members all the time
Some examples are listed below, others can be viewed in the Arbitrum discord

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Because it is a retrospective award, the 25 arbiters come from all over the world. There is currently no specific industry standard for retroactive rewards, and it would be extremely difficult to forcibly determine the value of these contributions in the Arbitrum discord.
3. Contribution categorie: Reminder and education for users to avoid scams From 2021 to 2023, arbiter will be reminding and educating community members about scams almost every day.
In the Arbitrum discord, especially the #scam-reporting channel, you can view a large number of arbiter reminders and educational activities
Some examples are listed below, others can be viewed in the Arbitrum discord
Sample data display:

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Reporting scams has reminded and educated a large number of Arbitrum community members to prevent scams. It effectively prevents members of the Arbitrum community from falling into a scam that impersonates Arbitrum, resulting in asset losses.
It can be imagined that if a large number of scam accounts are allowed to appear without anyone reminding and educating community members to prevent scams. This will result in a large number of Arbitrum community members having their wallets attacked and their assets stolen.
In response to this, Arbiter reported scams, reminding and educating a large number of Arbitrum community members to prevent the scams, which is very significant and far-reaching.
arbiter cannot evaluate the contribution value

Retroactive Reward Evaluation: All the above content is completed by all Arbiters spending a lot of energy and time. It has had a significant and lasting impact on hundreds of thousands of members of the Arbitrum community and ecosystem. And a lot of content is unsaved, lost, etc. It is very difficult to make an assessment. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to estimate the time, energy and impact arbiter will have on the arbiter community. As an arbiter we cannot make a specific assessment of the price.

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Arbiter has provided community optimization, management, operation, and promotion suggestions for Arbitrum more than 300 times, making Arbitrum's publicity, service, promotion, and operation system more complete, allowing Arbitrum users, developers, and ecological projects to get better service experience and help.
Continuously promote and improve the construction of the Arbitrum community to provide a better service environment for all Arbitrum community users, developers and projects.
There are currently no good evaluation standards and comparisons. Arbiter tries to use one suggestion for how many arbs, but the impact of each suggestion is different. Moreover, in the two and a half years since arbiter, arbiter has been making efforts to optimize the community all the time, not only with more than 300 suggestions. If all the content of the arbiter channel in arbitrum were displayed, there would be a huge number of links.
In fact, each suggestion can promote the development of the Arbitrum community, and the impact will be different. All suggestions are continuously served to the entire Arbitrum community of hundreds of thousands of members. Arbiter is unable to make a specific price assessment of the impact of these recommendations.

It is difficult for arbiter to strictly evaluate and quantify this extremely complex contribution structure and amount.
For more detailed contributions, please check: List of Arbiters' partial contributions some arbiters did not fully collect, organize and fill in the arbiter individual contribution list due to work or physical reasons. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjSCrAYJg2A1T5r8YpZx5BbfLQeyhBePqPtW5pA83dU/edit?usp=sharing In summary, arbiters agree that 125,000 $ARB is a very low Retroactive Reward Evaluation. I hope the above contribution evaluation can answer the questions of Arbitrum DAO delegates and the community about why the proposal amount is 125,000 $ARB.
Aspect 4: Quantifying the contribution of individual Arbiters You can get a comprehensive understanding of Arbiter's individual contributions by using the form below.
some arbiters did not fully collect, organize and fill in the arbiter individual contribution list due to work or physical reasons.
Many Arbiters exist data loss, contribution proof not retained, link failure and workload can not be counted and other situations.

From the above content and the basic situation of arbiter can be seen:
25 arbiters from all over the world. It is already difficult to get all the arbiters together again.
some arbiters did not fully collect, organize and fill in the arbiter individual contribution list due to work or physical reasons.
Many Arbiters exist data loss, contribution proof not retained, link failure and workload can not be counted and other situations.
The actual situation of each Arbiter is different.
Arbiter members come from different countries, some of them are Chinese, and there are Chinese channels in Arbitrum Discord. Other members are more likely to provide help on public channels.
Arbiter unanimously agreed to apply for retroactive rewards as a whole, and distribute them evenly. Please ask the delegates and the community to understand and support. arbiter are not professional or specialized members, it is difficult to establish a complex evaluation system.
When Arbitrum DAO has not yet appeared, every arbiter is working out of love and to promote the spirit of Arbitrum community.
Taking into account various factors, the proposal could not be accomplished if certain criteria were imposed to evaluate retroactive rewards.
But what is certain is that every Arbiter has made outstanding contributions to the Arbitrum community. All Arbiters also agree with all contents of the above proposal.
From 6,400 wallet addresses at the initial mainnet launch to 1,270,000+ wallet addresses now, including the growth of on-chain TVLs and a thriving ecosystem. Helped and assisted Arbitrum Discord to grow from tens of thousands of members to now 460,000, providing millions of high quality help, all kinds of Arbitrum promotion and publicity with millions of views.
All of the above evaluations are evaluated according to the arbiter's retroactive reward evaluation. The retroactive rewards are well over 125,000 $ARB. but arbiter takes into account
1, Arbitrum DAO delegates and the community's concern that the amount of the retroactive reward is too high.
The deviation of arbiter's retroactive reward evaluation from the market reference pricing.
3, Arbiter can not list all the contributions, as well as arbiter is the earliest contributor to Arbitrum.
4, Arbiters as a whole show more influence.
5, Arbiter for the development of the Arbitrum community to bring help and influence, and dedication is far underestimated.
6, Compared to a large number of airdrops on the chain of active people and ecosystem projects. And arbiter is slow to get any recognition and commendation.
Summarizing the above assessment, for Arbiter as a whole, 125,000 $ARB is perfectly reasonable.
Specification: Beneficiaries: Arbiters: composed of the most dedicated and earliest contributors to the Arbitrum community over the past two years, who have been recognized for their outstanding and humble service to the Arbitrum community.
Incentive Distribution: A total of 125,000 $ARB tokens are requested to be distributed equally to 25 arbiters as a whole (as agreed upon by all members of the arbiter) in recognition of their past work for the Arbitrum community.
Additionally, the arbiter for Discord ID BILLY#7943 has voluntarily relinquished his award and split it equally amongst the other arbiters, so we will be amending the original forum proposal to change the 25 arbiters in the original proposal to 24 arbiters so that the final calculation will be: 5,208.333 $ARB tokens per member x 24 Discord Arbiters = 125,000 $ARB
Wallet Address Collection and Distribution: Arbitrum Contributor wallet addresses will be collected through a designated process to ensure accuracy and fairness. If the proposal is approved, after thorough verification and validation, the Arbitrum DAO will distribute rewards to each Arbitrator Contributor's address.
Future Plans: This proposal is a retroactive reward. This is because the Arbitrum Foundation has recently hired its own audit/customer support team and launched an ambassador program. Therefore, as an abandoned Arbitrator, we are currently unable to assess the framework for planning future contributions and ongoing contributions.
Conclusion: Implementing a robust rewards system through the Arbitrum DAO is critical to recognizing and appreciating Arbiter's valuable contributions to the community. This initiative will revitalize community engagement, promote openness and encourage continued participation, ultimately ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Arbitrum community. Continuous improvement based on community input will be at the forefront of this effort. With this proposal, we are confident that Arbitrum will continue to build a more collaborative, innovative and vibrant Arbitrum community that reflects the values and spirit of our ecosystem.
Your insights are valuable and vital in shaping the future of our community. We welcome your feedback and interaction with us.

- Outside of this proposal, has arbiters ever received any ARB and retroactive rewards from the DAO or Foundation?
Arbiter have only received donations of 6500-7000 USDC (per arbiter) from the foundation. Apart from this, there are no other donations, retroactive rewards and airdrops of any kind.
When considering USDC rewards, the foundation only considers part of the arbiter’s contribution in the Arbitrum discord, and the evaluation metric is only the number of mesages that help community members. This does not include all contributions made by arbiters in the Arbitrum discord as well as prominent contributions outside of the discord.
arbiter seeks retroactive rewards for other outstanding contributions. The foundation and some delegates suggested that arbiters seek remaining funding from the Arbitrum DAO.
- Some delegates suggested: from output driven KPIs (“I have answered xx tickets”) to impact-focused metrics (“we have onboarded xx new users”).

Summary: This proposal proposes to allocate 125,000 $ARB tokens, equal to 0.00125% of the total supply, to recognize and reward the outstanding contributions of the Arbitrum community member known as "Arbiter". Arbiter receives the arbiter community role in the arbitrum discord after having made significant contributions to Arbitrum, as recognized by members of the Arbitrum team.
Over the three-year period 2021-2023, these contributors played a key role in the development of Arbitrum, from translating, advising, publicizing, and docking projects to community support, fraud prevention, and docking activities etc. At the time of the Arbitrum DAO's inception, Arbiters did not receive any airdrops or rewards.
By establishing a transparent and fair reward system through the Arbitrum DAO, our goal is to recognize past contributions and inspire continued dedication to the development of the Arbitrum ecosystem. Considering that arbiters did not keep proof of their contributions before and after the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO, and that a great deal of their work could not be counted or quantified, the dedication of each arbiter is also exceptionally valuable.
All members of arbiters unanimously agreed to initiate the proposal as a whole and agreed on an equal share of the reward amount.
Foreword: 25 Arbiters come from different countries with different time zones, speak different languages. Arbiters have been deprecated by the Arbitrum team, and it has become extremely difficult to bring arbiters together. Arbiters who have made outstanding contributions to the Arbitrum community from 2021 to 2023. Compared to on-chain activists and ecosystem projects which have conducted a large number of airdrops, arbiters haven’t received any airdrop retroactive rewards
Considering the large number of contributions made by arbiters prior to the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO that have not been effectively preserved, and the fact that there are many members whose work cannot be counted and quantified, and that the dedication of each arbiter has been exceptionally valuable, all members of the arbiters have agreed that arbiters as a whole should initiate the proposal. All members of Arbiters unanimously agreed to initiate the proposal and apply for retroactive awards for Arbiters as a whole.
Arbiter as a whole (or project) is asking for retroactive rewards. If each member's contribution is listed one by one to make a forced comparison, this will bring arbiter infinite tug-of-war, mutual disputes, suspicion etc.. At the same time, Arbiter is not professional to establish a very systematic and perfect evaluation system.
Special statement: As the earliest arbitrum contributor, arbiter is retroactively obtaining voting rights and voice in the governance of Arbitrum DAO. The Arbitrum DAO airdrop to early adopters and ecosystem projects also does not take price into account, but rather the weight of governance. The choice of 125,000 $ARB is fully considered (explained in detail below). If the current arb price is $0.1, the arbiter also only apply for 125,000 $ARB, which has little to do with price.
Motivation: The Arbitrum community thrives on collaboration, decentralization, and the Ethereum community spirit. This proposal aligns with these principles and strives to:
1.Recognize the exceptional contributions made by Arbiters to Arbitrum’s development.
2.Demonstrate the spirit of collaboration and decentralization within the Arbitrum ecosystem, ensuring its long-term sustainability.
3.Establish a clear and equitable reward mechanism through the Arbitrum DAO, ensuring that Arbiters are treated fairly.
4.Inspire more individuals to actively participate in the advancement of the Arbitrum ecosystem by retroactively rewarding Arbiters.
Rationale: The Arbitrum community, driven by its contributors, has been instrumental in shaping Arbitrum over the past two years. These dedicated individuals have contributed significantly through a wide range of activities, including translation, promotion, event organization, community guidance, safety assurance, and collaboration with other communities. These efforts have been essential to the success and vibrancy of the Arbitrum community.
Response to numerous delegates' concerns about Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 1.0: Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 1.0 https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal/18557/74
1. What is Arbiter?
The definition given by the team：Essentially in the first year+ the Discord needed help with active moderation and community engagement due to bandwidth, and there were people (Arbiters) who were quite active and asked to help out, and thus the role was incepted and given to people who wanted to participate with a recognized role.
Arbiters think that Arbiter is an early contributor who joined Arbitrum out of love for Arbitrum, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the Arbitrum community over a 2+ year period from 2021-2023. After confirmation by the team, they get the Arbiter community role in the Arbitrum Discord.
2. Why did the Arbiters initiate this proposal? After the Arbitrum DAO was established, there was a large-scale airdrop for the Arbitrum network early adopters and ecosystem projects.
However, Arbiters did not receive airdrop retroactive rewards after the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO. Arbiters, as an important early contributor to the Arbitrum ecosystem, have not been given any right to speak and vote in the development of the Arbitrum DAO.
3. why doesn't this proposal have a plan for future Arbiter contributions and a sustainable reward framework? We are only seeking a one-time retroactive reward from the Arbitrum DAO for the arbiter's contributions over the past 2+ years. the Arbitrum Foundation has already hired its own review/client support team and launched an ambassador program.
The Arbitrum team has made it clear that arbiters have been deprecated, so we are unable to assess and plan for Arbiter's future contributions at this time. Deprecated arbiters are not able to explore a sustainable compensation plan incentive, as the role of Arbiter has been replaced by the Arbitrum team's audit/customer support team, the Ambassador program.
Members of the Arbitrum Foundation also made it clear: the proposal in discussion is for a retroactive reward and not a future or ongoing one, so this fact wouldn’t be too valuable I don’t think.
4. Why is the activity spans of some members 156 days instead of 2 years?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kjVQ-utNitq8Xr5zp0yYOMg1ufCaHn6g/edit#gid=503597285
This is because some members were mistakenly kicked off the Arbitrum server by the arbitrum bot at various times. That's why the table shows the least amount of time at 156 days, and some of the contribution records have been deleted.
5. The Messages of arbiter members in the Arbitrum Discord server are quite different. Why not make contribution evaluation based on the number of messages?
There are a large number of Chinese users in the Arbitrum dc server. Taking into account the huge needs of Chinese users and the Chinese community manager NinaRong (team member), the Arbitrum team opened a Chinese channel. (In the long time from 2021 to 2023, there only one language channel in Arbitum DC, which is the Chinese channel.)
Chinese channel activity accounts for more than 50% of the entire Arbitrum community activity. In the Chinese channel, developers and users have huge needs and questions for help, and they are also the most numerous.
Most of the members with the most messages in Arbiter are Chinese. Chinese contributors in the arbiter can use their native language, making communication easier and faster. It is unfair to arbiters from other countries, because only the Chinese area has language channels, so the arbiters in the Chinese area can speak in DC in Chinese and English, while other areas use English.
Due to low activity on other channels, there is less need for help from users. Arbiter members from other countries must also use English instead of their native language when contributing to other channels.
In contrast, the arbiter in the Chinese area has many more messages than other arbiters.
6. Why doesn’t the Arbiters provide all the contribution links and examples? When we first became Arbiters, we all joined contributed to Offchain Labs with our love, Arbiters didn't know each other and didn't know that OffChain Labs would be sending airdrop rewards and establish Arbitrum DAO in the future, so we didn't designate a dedicated person to manage and keep information about everyone's contributions, and the Arbiters themselves didn't keep their own contributions either.
And, also, due to the dissolution of the Arbitrum team members' Notion and Advocacy groups, and some of Arbiter's local regulatory policies on the cryptocurrency industry, a lot of information has been lost and invalidated, Arbiters are not able to provide. Arbiter's contributions are also complex, and it is not possible to list all of them in a proposal or a summary table. For example, there are thousands of messages to promote Arbitrum, and it would be impractical to list every single one of them.
7.Why are rewards not distributed according to each individual's contribution? All arbiters agreed that it would be manifestly unfair and difficult to strike a balance if the contribution of a particular Arbiter was evaluated from a single perspective. Every Arbiter agrees that the reward would be equally divided to each Arbiter.
Arbiter is a whole entity, but not everyone's contribution is exactly the same, and as mentioned above, a large amount of contribution data is lost and are invalidated. Some Arbiters have been mainly focusing on helping other members in Discord; and some Arbiters, in addition to serving the members in discord, have been doing translations, publicizing, matchmaking projects, offering advice, and conducting promotional activities outside of discord such as AMA.
We are trying to distribute rewards retroactively by the amount of contributed data provided by Arbiter, but it requires several sets of assessment criteria for how to assess the data for doing publicity, doing translation, providing suggestions, and conducting AMA. And some members' contribution links are not working or contribution data is not saved. A large number of Arbitrum original and translated articles, blogs and other materials exist in Arbitrum arbiter Notion, but Notion has been disbanded by team members
As an early contributor to the arbitrum community, it is more than estimable that Arbiter's dedication should be promoted and recognized on a larger scale.
Therefore, it is obviously unfair and difficult to strike a balance if one arbiter's contribution is evaluated from a single perspective, and it is more reasonable for Arbiter as a whole (or project) to apply for retroactive rewards, while all arbiters agreed and decided to submit all contributions in aggregate and the rewards are equally distributed, which does not destroy the unity of the group and allows the contributing arbiters as a whole to receive retroactive rewards. Reward.
8. Will rewards be distributed to multi-signature wallets? Although Arbiters are rewarded retroactively as a whole, arbiters do not know each other and have never met. To ensure security, we will require the Foundation to collect all wallet addresses and provide them to the DAO for verification and arb distribution.
9.why ask for 125,000 $ARB bonus and not more or less? As the earliest arbitrum contributor, arbiter is retroactively obtaining voting rights and voice in the governance of Arbitrum DAO. The Arbitrum DAO airdrop to early adopters and ecosystem projects also does not take price into account, but rather the weight of governance. The choice of 125,000 $ARB was carefully considered. If the current arb price is $0.1, the arbiter also only apply for 125,000 $ARB, which has little to do with price.
Why choose 125,000 $ARB? We considered this from four aspects:
The first aspect:
Consider based on the amount of retrospective rewards from Arbitrum DAO to early adopters and ecosystem project airdrops, as well as from other communities to early contributors.
https://docs.arbitrum.foundation/airdrop-eligibility-distribution#distribution-post-aips-11-and-12
Distribution of Early Adopter Incentive Criteria
Arbitrum network Early Adopters：Users of the Arbitrum platform (via airdrop to user wallet addresses)，Number of arb tokens: 1.162 billion
In one month, users can get more than 1000-3000 $ARB just by reaching a certain level of interaction with the Arbitrum network. The one with the highest airdrop reward will receive 10,250 $ARB.
Arbitrum airdrops 113 million $ARB to 137 DAOs or projects:

Proposal to Backfund Successful STIP Proposals (21.4M $ARB to 26 DAOs or projects:)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e_HagHx883ezMlRKH3E0Ir6K_ZkoEEXzDIxPRHxKTng/edit#gid=529573171
Arbiters as the earliest contributors with two years of high quality help to the development of Arbitrum. We finalized a total reward of 25x5,000=125,000 $ARB based on Arbitrum's initial on-chain activity reward benchmarks, and we think it's fair to get 0.5x the highest standard of Arbitrum airdrops. The retroactive amount is even conservative considering the time and effort arbitrators put into making the community a better place. It is important to understand that the $ARB token is a governance token and as such it represents voting rights. From this perspective, the allocation of 125,000 $ARB tokens to arbiter as a whole or the project seems to be directly proportional to the impact Arbiter has had and the time, energy and effort they have invested in the voting rights that will give Arbiter a voice and a vote in the future of Arbitrum.
Imagine if all the Arbiters put their entire contribution for more than 2 years into the Arbitrum network interaction, the on-chain reward will be much more than 125,000 arb.
In terms of airdrops to ecosystem projects, Arbiter as a whole has brought a great deal of help and impact to Arbitrum, and far-reaching. Arbiter believes that 125,000 $ARB is a reasonable range.
Also, just want to re-emphasize Arbiters are very much want to participate in the governance of Arbitrum DAO, retrospective will make Arbiters in the future of Arbitrum have certain right to speak and vote.
The second aspect: Retroactive rewards for early contributors from other programs or communities as a reference
Almost all major projects have token airdrops for web3 community contributors. Percentage of other communities rewarding early contributors:

A large number of other projects have had large airdrops for community contributors, such as 1inch, DYDX, APT, Namada, etc.
The Third Aspect: Quantifying the contribution of Arbiters as a whole All data below are examples only, for categorization and more specific information please check: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjSCrAYJg2A1T5r8YpZx5BbfLQeyhBePqPtW5pA83dU/edit#gid=336825191

Since 2021-2023, the work and contributions made by Arbiters are too numerous to be listed one by one. And due to the lack of targeted data statistics and retention in advance, a large number of missing and invalid contribution data cannot be listed separately and specifically quantified.
But, consider that, Arbiters provided millions times of help to Arbitrum community users and developers. It allows Arbitrum team members to focus more on the development of technology, and also allows millions of Arbitrum community members to get answers to all kinds of questions and needs feedback. (Anyone can view the help and contributions of the arbitrators on the arbitrum Discord server, wechat groups, and other language communities, etc.)
Arbiters are online 24/7 (in Odyssey and Guild activities related to many arbiters are 16 + hours online, for community members to provide the most immediate, high-quality help) arbiter two years, has been involved in the maintenance and management of the community order, to report and stop more than 100,000 times of the scam, to ensure that hundreds of thousands of members of the community are able to get help in a timely manner and to keep the server safe.
Though cannot list all the contributions here, we try to list part of contributions as below:
Creation date of this spreadsheet 27/10/2023 Arbiter's joining date and message data in Arbitrum Discord(Creation date of this spreadsheet 27/10/2023): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kjVQ-utNitq8Xr5zp0yYOMg1ufCaHn6g/edit#gid=503597285
Remark:
1. The arbiter does not have permission to edit the table, so it cannot modify the table content;
2. This data statistics only counts 19 arbiters.
3. Some arbiters were accidentally kicked out of the arbiter dc by robots, so the time and some message statistics are inaccurate. (Screenshot as evidence)
4. For more accurate data, please view Arbiter’s personal contribution summary table
Out of Discord:
As an example of a Chinese community WeChat group, there are dozens of Arbitrum Chinese WeChat groups, and a large number of responses to community members' questions are received every day. But it has been disbanded due to policy reasons. Team members Nina and Jason testified about this
Video Proof： https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SmkNcA-aZQuNozPhf1ay6BiMM5wAfOWb/view The above examples can be proved by team members Nina, Jason, etc.
Retroactive Reward Evaluation: Provided millions of help to Arbitrum community users and developers. It allows Arbitrum team members to focus more on the development of technology, and also allows millions of Arbitrum community members to get answers to all kinds of questions and needs feedback. (Anyone can view the high quality help and contributions of the arbitrators on the arbitrum Discord server, wechat groups, and other language communities, etc.)
2. Contribution categories: Scam report Sample data display: Scam reporting, including assisting the team in reporting scam websites and Twitter: there are many reports, and for two and a half years, whenever a scam is discovered, it is reported. The number cannot be counted. Since 2021, scams have been happening all the time in the arbitrum community, and arbiters are trying to catch scams all the time. We also remind community members all the time
Some examples are listed below, others can be viewed in the Arbitrum discord

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Because it is a retrospective award, the 25 arbiters come from all over the world. There is currently no specific industry standard for retroactive rewards, and it would be extremely difficult to forcibly determine the value of these contributions in the Arbitrum discord.
3. Contribution categorie: Reminder and education for users to avoid scams From 2021 to 2023, arbiter will be reminding and educating community members about scams almost every day.
In the Arbitrum discord, especially the #scam-reporting channel, you can view a large number of arbiter reminders and educational activities
Some examples are listed below, others can be viewed in the Arbitrum discord
Sample data display:

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Reporting scams has reminded and educated a large number of Arbitrum community members to prevent scams. It effectively prevents members of the Arbitrum community from falling into a scam that impersonates Arbitrum, resulting in asset losses.
It can be imagined that if a large number of scam accounts are allowed to appear without anyone reminding and educating community members to prevent scams. This will result in a large number of Arbitrum community members having their wallets attacked and their assets stolen.
In response to this, Arbiter reported scams, reminding and educating a large number of Arbitrum community members to prevent the scams, which is very significant and far-reaching.
arbiter cannot evaluate the contribution value

Arbiters have written a large number of original arbitrum articles that have been picked up by the team and posted on Arbitrum official announcements, Twitter, Medium and other media outlets to name just a few.

The Twitter, Medium and other media outlets including Arbitrum node configuration, wallet usage, test network usage, top up and withdrawals, and more, covering all aspects of Arbitrum network usage tutorials. Tutorials for dozens and millions of Arbitrum community members!
Retroactive Reward Evaluation: All the above content is completed by all Arbiters spending a lot of energy and time. It has had a significant and lasting impact on hundreds of thousands of members of the Arbitrum community and ecosystem. And a lot of content is unsaved, lost, etc. It is very difficult to make an assessment. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to estimate the time, energy and impact arbiter will have on the arbiter community. As an arbiter we cannot make a specific assessment of the price.

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Arbiter has provided community optimization, management, operation, and promotion suggestions for Arbitrum more than 300 times, making Arbitrum's publicity, service, promotion, and operation system more complete, allowing Arbitrum users, developers, and ecological projects to get better service experience and help.
Continuously promote and improve the construction of the Arbitrum community to provide a better service environment for all Arbitrum community users, developers and projects.
There are currently no good evaluation standards and comparisons. Arbiter tries to use one suggestion for how many arbs, but the impact of each suggestion is different. Moreover, in the two and a half years since arbiter, arbiter has been making efforts to optimize the community all the time, not only with more than 300 suggestions. If all the content of the arbiter channel in arbitrum were displayed, there would be a huge number of links.
In fact, each suggestion can promote the development of the Arbitrum community, and the impact will be different. All suggestions are continuously served to the entire Arbitrum community of hundreds of thousands of members. Arbiter is unable to make a specific price assessment of the impact of these recommendations.

Retroactive Reward Evaluation: Starting from 2021, the Arbitrum ecosystem and community are in their infancy, and arbiters have promoted Arbitrum in various ways. So far, there have been hundreds of thousands of promotions. This has a huge positive and promoting effect on the development of the Arbitrum ecosystem and community. We tried to quantify advocacy efforts, but obviously it's extremely difficult.
11.Contribution categories: Docking with Arbitrum AMA, twitter space, events, projects, etc dock 30 Arbitrum AMA, more than 20 events, more than 10 docking projects, affecting hundreds of thousands of community members, attracting more projects to choose arbitrum network for deployment.
There are a lot of broken links and arbiters not saving records. Therefore, there are many that cannot be counted and are not included in the contributions.

Retroactive Reward Evaluation:
Some Arbiters have their own communities, and as KOLs in Twitter and famous communities, they vigorously promote Arbitrum through their own influence, posting blogs and all kinds of information, and their continuous influence involves hundreds of thousands of crypto community users. This has brought great enthusiasm and new users to the Arbitrum community.
Arbiter attempts to evaluate the value of a promotional message. But it also includes the influence of KOL and the impact of promoting arbitrary. Accurate assessment is difficult.
14. Contribution categorie: Arbitrum Gifs Made Arbitrum Gifs were produced and adopted by the team and put into the Arbitrum dc server. Sample data display:
Retroactive Reward Evaluation: Bringing joy to the Arbitrum community. How much are each Gif worth? This is obviously undesirable, so it cannot be evaluated

Under the leadership and introduction of team members, Arbiter has reached a cooperation with ArbitrumNews DAO to set up the Arbitrum Information Publicity Group and the Ecosystem Project Analysis Group.

It is difficult for arbiter to strictly evaluate and quantify this extremely complex contribution structure and amount.
For more detailed contributions, please check: List of Arbiters' partial contributions some arbiters did not fully collect, organize and fill in the arbiter individual contribution list due to work or physical reasons. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjSCrAYJg2A1T5r8YpZx5BbfLQeyhBePqPtW5pA83dU/edit?usp=sharing In summary, arbiters agree that 125,000 $ARB is a very low Retroactive Reward Evaluation. I hope the above contribution evaluation can answer the questions of Arbitrum DAO delegates and the community about why the proposal amount is 125,000 $ARB.
Aspect 4: Quantifying the contribution of individual Arbiters You can get a comprehensive understanding of Arbiter's individual contributions by using the form below.
some arbiters did not fully collect, organize and fill in the arbiter individual contribution list due to work or physical reasons.
Many Arbiters exist data loss, contribution proof not retained, link failure and workload can not be counted and other situations.
arbiter individual contribution list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjSCrAYJg2A1T5r8YpZx5BbfLQeyhBePqPtW5pA83dU/edit#gid=127633825
From the above content and the basic situation of arbiter can be seen:
25 arbiters from all over the world. It is already difficult to get all the arbiters together again.
some arbiters did not fully collect, organize and fill in the arbiter individual contribution list due to work or physical reasons.
Many Arbiters exist data loss, contribution proof not retained, link failure and workload can not be counted and other situations.
The actual situation of each Arbiter is different.
Arbiter members come from different countries, some of them are Chinese, and there are Chinese channels in Arbitrum Discord. Other members are more likely to provide help on public channels.
Arbiter unanimously agreed to apply for retroactive rewards as a whole, and distribute them evenly. Please ask the delegates and the community to understand and support. arbiter are not professional or specialized members, it is difficult to establish a complex evaluation system.
When Arbitrum DAO has not yet appeared, every arbiter is working out of love and to promote the spirit of Arbitrum community.
Taking into account various factors, the proposal could not be accomplished if certain criteria were imposed to evaluate retroactive rewards.
But what is certain is that every Arbiter has made outstanding contributions to the Arbitrum community. All Arbiters also agree with all contents of the above proposal.
From 6,400 wallet addresses at the initial mainnet launch to 1,270,000+ wallet addresses now, including the growth of on-chain TVLs and a thriving ecosystem. Helped and assisted Arbitrum Discord to grow from tens of thousands of members to now 460,000, providing millions of high quality help, all kinds of Arbitrum promotion and publicity with millions of views.
All of the above evaluations are evaluated according to the arbiter's retroactive reward evaluation. The retroactive rewards are well over 125,000 $ARB. but arbiter takes into account
1, Arbitrum DAO delegates and the community's concern that the amount of the retroactive reward is too high.
The deviation of arbiter's retroactive reward evaluation from the market reference pricing.
3, Arbiter can not list all the contributions, as well as arbiter is the earliest contributor to Arbitrum.
4, Arbiters as a whole show more influence.
5, Arbiter for the development of the Arbitrum community to bring help and influence, and dedication is far underestimated.
6, Compared to a large number of airdrops on the chain of active people and ecosystem projects. And arbiter is slow to get any recognition and commendation.
Summarizing the above assessment, for Arbiter as a whole, 125,000 $ARB is perfectly reasonable.
Specification: Beneficiaries: Arbiters: composed of the most dedicated and earliest contributors to the Arbitrum community over the past two years, who have been recognized for their outstanding and humble service to the Arbitrum community.
Incentive Distribution: A total of 125,000 $ARB tokens are requested to be distributed equally to 25 arbiters as a whole (as agreed upon by all members of the arbiter) in recognition of their past work for the Arbitrum community.
Additionally, the arbiter for Discord ID BILLY#7943 has voluntarily relinquished his award and split it equally amongst the other arbiters, so we will be amending the original forum proposal to change the 25 arbiters in the original proposal to 24 arbiters so that the final calculation will be: 5,208.333 $ARB tokens per member x 24 Discord Arbiters = 125,000 $ARB
Wallet Address Collection and Distribution: Arbitrum Contributor wallet addresses will be collected through a designated process to ensure accuracy and fairness. If the proposal is approved, after thorough verification and validation, the Arbitrum DAO will distribute rewards to each Arbitrator Contributor's address.
Future Plans: This proposal is a retroactive reward. This is because the Arbitrum Foundation has recently hired its own audit/customer support team and launched an ambassador program. Therefore, as an abandoned Arbitrator, we are currently unable to assess the framework for planning future contributions and ongoing contributions.
Conclusion: Implementing a robust rewards system through the Arbitrum DAO is critical to recognizing and appreciating Arbiter's valuable contributions to the community. This initiative will revitalize community engagement, promote openness and encourage continued participation, ultimately ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Arbitrum community. Continuous improvement based on community input will be at the forefront of this effort. With this proposal, we are confident that Arbitrum will continue to build a more collaborative, innovative and vibrant Arbitrum community that reflects the values and spirit of our ecosystem.
Your insights are valuable and vital in shaping the future of our community. We welcome your feedback and interaction with us.

I reviewed your proposal multiple times. Early contributors deserve retroactive rewards. It can be seen from the content of the proposal that you have indeed made a lot of contributions.
375K ARB applied by 25 abiters. You deserve this retroactive reward.
Good luck!

The below response reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
The proposal hasn’t changed since when we voted for it during temp check and as such we’ll also be voting in its favor during the on-chain vote. As we also mentioned in our previous comment, it’s important to note that we do not see this proposal as something that is setting a precedent, and we suggest that the DAO shouldn’t entertain such votes in the future unless there’s a very strong reason to do so.

In addition, we want to invite the Arbiters to continue being active in the Arbitrum ecosystem and specifically in the Arbitrum DAO as there are a lot of initiatives that could benefit from their help as original members of the community.
Savvy DAO has voted FOR this proposal. See our reasoning here: https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/savvy-dao-delegate-communication-thread/21266/12?u=savvydao

Penn Blockchain / FranklinDAO voted Abstain on this Tally proposal. Although their impact is hard to evaluate, we deeply appreciate the work that the Arbiters contributed in the early days of Arbitrum.
We support the Arbiters getting involved in governance as well as any other community member that wants to get involved. However, we do not see it as the DAO's responsibility to seed this involvement.
Allocating 0.000125% of the total supply to retroactively acknowledge community members who contributed to the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem before formal structures were established demonstrates a strong commitment to community appreciation and ecosystem development. This initiative offers compelling support for these community members.
Therefore, I am IN FAVOR of this proposal.
Blockworks Research will be voting FOR this proposal on Tally.
The exact impact of early contributors is difficult to quantify, but it’s clear that Arbiters have been extremely valuable in, e.g., onboarding users, educating newcomers about the ecosystem, and preventing scams, in addition to moderation duties on Discord. The requested amount of ARB, accounting for the earlier USDC donations distributed by the Foundation, is fair in our opinion based on factors such as the % share of the total supply as well as comparative community allocations across other projects. Rewarding Arbiters partly based on estimated goodwill also makes sense given the circumstances.

Rewarding Arbiters partly based on estimated goodwill also makes sense given the circumstances.
We applaud the willingness to adjust the proposal based on community feedback as well as the amount of data points/information that has been sourced. Finally, we view this retroactive reward distribution as a one-off event and would have preferred the proposal’s Tally description to have mentioned the previously distributed USDC donations by the Foundation for transparency, but don’t think this warrants us abstaining from/voting against the proposal.
Of course, the early contributors have played an invaluable role in the development of the Arbitrum community. Their hard work and dedication have laid a solid foundation for Arbitrum's success. I wholeheartedly support your proposal and believe that early contributors should receive the retrospective rewards they deserve. Their contributions are not just for immediate gains but for the long-term development of the entire community. Therefore, I will actively support your initiative and hope to advocate for the recognition and rewards that early contributors deserve.
Just following up here on behalf of TreasureDAO to summarize why TreasureDAO's ARC is voting FOR this proposal after much dialogue with the Arbiters.
Our main reason in voting for this was the fact that these Arbiters essentially served as community managers/support before Arbitrum had a team to do that.

The Arbitrum Foundation rewarded the Arbiters an average of 7.5K USDC and after reviewing the amount of work done by the Arbiters we feel their ask of the additional ~6K USDC is valid and fair.

We're maintaining our support FOR the Arbiter 2.0 proposal on Tally
Spent some time looking through the Arbitrum Discord and we can confirm that a lot of folks with the Arbiter role were active in responding to community questions and other support requests. As we mentioned before, dealing with crypto-related Discord servers kinda sucks, so we think that's worthy of being compensated for. A lot of the other evidence of contributions is hard to sort through, so we can only really independently vouch for their efforts on Discord (but this is good enough).
Thank you to all the delegates for your suggestions and help. arbiter has made some content updates in the 2.0 proposal based on the suggestions of delegates.
At the snapshot, 2.0 Proposal was voted in favor of an overwhelming majority of delegates.
In the next few days, arbiter will publish the 2.0 proposal on tally and start on-chain voting.
Thanks, Arbiters
I voted against the original version of this proposal in the off-chain Snapshot vote due to concerns about the process and fairness of rewarding a pre-selected group without clear criteria. However, after carefully considering the revised proposal and the surrounding discussion, I have decided to change my vote to FOR in this on-chain vote. Here's my updated rationale:
Tally hasn't changed. It's still the same as the snapshot.
I see this is finally live on tally, I guess it took a while to coordinate all the peeps involved.
Any important change in tally compared to snapshot?
We are in continued full support of this proposal. These members should receive contributions for their time and work. We think this has some resemblance to the Makerdao source cred system back in the day and are in favor of all contributors receiving fair compensation for their past work.
The Princeton Blockchain Club will be voting in favor of The Community Arbiter Proposal V2 at the Snapshot stage. As others noted, properly evaluating this proposal has posed a unique challenge. We appreciate the work that @Mysterymen and co have put into improving V1.
We're in favor of supporting valuable work for the community and encouraging others to contribute. As most of us are aware, moderating crypto-related Discords takes a lot of effort to do right!
I will be voting "For" this proposal.
I appreciate Mystermen and their team for taking the criticisms from the initial proposal and re-working it for this second one. The reduction in requested amount is appreciated, and this ARB payout + the USD portion received seems to be fair compensation for the work provided. The detail provided paints a good picture of what was done, and while we value is subjective... a lot of work seems to have been done that warrants some form of compensation as stated.
There has been a lot of back and forth with this proposal. However, we never doubted the work done by the Arbiters but only asked for a more detailed breakdown of the work done and compensation reasoning.
We saw these changes and a reduced ask in the final iteration on Tally so DAOPlomats (former DAOStewards) voted in favor. Also, echoing what @PrincetonBlockchain said, future requests of this kind is better suited to come through the Arbitrum Citizens Retrofunding Round on Gitcoin.
The below response reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
The proposal hasn’t changed since when we voted for it during temp check and as such we’ll also be voting in its favor during the on-chain vote. As we also mentioned in our previous comment, it’s important to note that we do not see this proposal as something that is setting a precedent, and we suggest that the DAO shouldn’t entertain such votes in the future unless there’s a very strong reason to do so.

In addition, we want to invite the Arbiters to continue being active in the Arbitrum ecosystem and specifically in the Arbitrum DAO as there are a lot of initiatives that could benefit from their help as original members of the community.
Savvy DAO has voted FOR this proposal. See our reasoning here: https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/savvy-dao-delegate-communication-thread/21266/12?u=savvydao
I had initially voted against this proposal on snapshot. After giving it a second thought and seeing some of the developments it has had, I've decided to vote for it. The 125k ARB makes more sense now. Thanks for your contributions, Arbiters!
Penn Blockchain / FranklinDAO voted Abstain on this Tally proposal. Although their impact is hard to evaluate, we deeply appreciate the work that the Arbiters contributed in the early days of Arbitrum.
We support the Arbiters getting involved in governance as well as any other community member that wants to get involved. However, we do not see it as the DAO's responsibility to seed this involvement.
Allocating 0.000125% of the total supply to retroactively acknowledge community members who contributed to the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem before formal structures were established demonstrates a strong commitment to community appreciation and ecosystem development. This initiative offers compelling support for these community members.
Therefore, I am IN FAVOR of this proposal.
Blockworks Research will be voting FOR this proposal on Tally.
The exact impact of early contributors is difficult to quantify, but it’s clear that Arbiters have been extremely valuable in, e.g., onboarding users, educating newcomers about the ecosystem, and preventing scams, in addition to moderation duties on Discord. The requested amount of ARB, accounting for the earlier USDC donations distributed by the Foundation, is fair in our opinion based on factors such as the % share of the total supply as well as comparative community allocations across other projects. Rewarding Arbiters partly based on estimated goodwill also makes sense given the circumstances.

We applaud the willingness to adjust the proposal based on community feedback as well as the amount of data points/information that has been sourced. Finally, we view this retroactive reward distribution as a one-off event and would have preferred the proposal’s Tally description to have mentioned the previously distributed USDC donations by the Foundation for transparency, but don’t think this warrants us abstaining from/voting against the proposal.
Of course, the early contributors have played an invaluable role in the development of the Arbitrum community. Their hard work and dedication have laid a solid foundation for Arbitrum's success. I wholeheartedly support your proposal and believe that early contributors should receive the retrospective rewards they deserve. Their contributions are not just for immediate gains but for the long-term development of the entire community. Therefore, I will actively support your initiative and hope to advocate for the recognition and rewards that early contributors deserve.
Just following up here on behalf of TreasureDAO to summarize why TreasureDAO's ARC is voting FOR this proposal after much dialogue with the Arbiters.
Our main reason in voting for this was the fact that these Arbiters essentially served as community managers/support before Arbitrum had a team to do that.

The Arbitrum Foundation rewarded the Arbiters an average of 7.5K USDC and after reviewing the amount of work done by the Arbiters we feel their ask of the additional ~6K USDC is valid and fair.

We're maintaining our support FOR the Arbiter 2.0 proposal on Tally
Spent some time looking through the Arbitrum Discord and we can confirm that a lot of folks with the Arbiter role were active in responding to community questions and other support requests. As we mentioned before, dealing with crypto-related Discord servers kinda sucks, so we think that's worthy of being compensated for. A lot of the other evidence of contributions is hard to sort through, so we can only really independently vouch for their efforts on Discord (but this is good enough).
Thank you to all the delegates for your suggestions and help. arbiter has made some content updates in the 2.0 proposal based on the suggestions of delegates.
At the snapshot, 2.0 Proposal was voted in favor of an overwhelming majority of delegates.
In the next few days, arbiter will publish the 2.0 proposal on tally and start on-chain voting.
Thanks, Arbiters

They did get some compensation from the Foundation in the form of USDC, but considering the reduced ask (500k --> 125k ARB), an additional one-off grant from the DAO seems fine. However, further retroactive funding for DAO contributions should probably come through established grant programs, such as last year's Arbitrum Citizens Retrofunding Round on Gitcoin.
I voted against the original version of this proposal in the off-chain Snapshot vote due to concerns about the process and fairness of rewarding a pre-selected group without clear criteria. However, after carefully considering the revised proposal and the surrounding discussion, I have decided to change my vote to FOR in this on-chain vote. Here's my updated rationale:
I do want to reiterate the valid concerns that led me to initially vote against the proposal in the Snapshot:
On balance, while I originally voted against, I now believe the revised proposal warrants support as a rare exception given the Arbiters' unique early role, their formal recognition by the Arbitrum team, and the substantial efforts by the proposers to address critiques and improve the request. The DAO should still view this as a special case and continue to reward community members primarily through open, transparent, ongoing processes rather than one-off retroactive drops.
I encourage the Arbitrum DAO to vote FOR this revised proposal to recognize the extraordinary early contributions of the Arbiters group, even though the original proposal had significant issues that led me to vote against it in the Snapshot. Let's move forward together as a community while learning lessons for the future.

Broadly speaking, I am for retroactive grants where they make sense. Based on the information provided / discussion that has came from this I think this is a case does so. I'll echo other's that I don't want us to set a precedent that causes a flood of proposals, but I will also say that I don't think these types of discussions need to be shyd away from when a fair case comes up. Early community work is often an altruistic and thankless job for a project that you may not even know will succeed. So I lean towards rewarding those who took on these types of roles were possible.
Edit 4/4/2024: My opinion is unchanged from when I first posted this for the Snapshot "For" vote above to the now Tally Vote. In order to not take up space with another forum post, I have edited this post to confirm that due to no changes from Snapshot to Tally I will be voting "For" on Tally for this proposal.
Will be voting FOR this proposal but very much as a one off proposal from the formation of the DAO and a reflection of the contributions that were made in the those early days and not precedent setting.
The Savvy DeFi DAO’s Arbitrum Council has decisively voted FOR this proposal.
We acknowledge the evolution of this proposal over the past few months. The new approach and focus will be retroactively incentivized to the community. Of course, we also take into consideration the complexity involved in executing this project.

We decided to vote this time for this proposal and we'll be following updates and insights here.
Following further reflection and consideration of insights from @Mysterymen and other delegates, we have decided to change our vote to support this proposal. Our decision is influenced by the recognition that the amount requested by Mysterymen is reasonable and modest compared to the initial proposal. We acknowledge the challenges associated with managing discord scams and the difficulty of engaging with people in discord. The contributions made have been impressive in terms of organization, and the evaluation of such intangible efforts is very challenging. Although we believe that individuals who contribute more significantly should receive greater rewards, since the arbiters are in favor of equal reward distribution, we will support this approach.

Hi, @Curia Thanks for your feedback. arbiters provide the following explanations and clarifications
Best, Arbiters
This proposal was very complex to asses. Way more than others.
This proposal was very complex to asses. Way more than others.
That said, community, especially in the beginning, are born on the sweat, blood and tier of (also) their most active users and their mods. These users, in the telegram and discord chat, keep the vibe alive, keep the spirit alive, address the fud, help with the engagements. They do provide value.
Assuming, effectively, a calculation of 2.5 years, that puts these users at 550/month. Even if we just consider 1000/m, in my opinion, it would be an ok number.
Why? Because being in such big community is really really really a lift. You have thousands of messages of people asking wen token, thousands of people asking how to claim, thousands of people saying they got scammed and so on. Is not easy to be constantly there.
That's why I am voting for, with a caveat that @krst was able to properly express: this is a one time thing. Doesn't mean we can't have retrogrants in Arbitrum, no. We should at some point be able to have retrogrants. But imho proposals can't be presented to the community in this way, in this modality, and also with such premises.
The below response reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking and ideation of the two.
After we first reviewed the original proposal, we voted in its favor during the temp-check and then provided our feedback with points we wanted to see addressed before the on-chain vote. Our feedback wasn’t addressed and we ultimately had to vote against the proposal. In their revised proposal, the ask amount has been significantly reduced, and there has been a good-faith effort to list the contributions made both on a collective and on an individual basis.

We understand the position Arbiters find themselves in when trying to justify the requested amount for contributions that are hard to track and measure or assess their impact. And it became very apparent when we tried to think of an amount ourselves - which was impossible to do without relying on arbitrary decision-making.
Having said that, and given the concerns we raised in the original proposal have been addressed in the revised one, we’ll be voting in favor of the proposal during temp-check, and during the following on-chain vote if the temp check is successful.
However, we want to take the opportunity and state that we do not see this proposal as something setting a precedent, and we suggest that the DAO shouldn’t entertain such votes in the future unless there’s a very strong reason to do so.
Delegates who voted for Abstain did not leave any comments, suggestions or feedback.
In the 1.0 proposal, we have comprehensively improved and modified the proposal according to the opinions of the delegates.
Thanks. Based on this I voted FOR on Snapshot.
Is there any particular reason delegates are choosing to abstain from this vote? We'd love to hear the rationale behind that.
We will vote against this proposal in its current state. Considering that Arbiters, having received $6,500 to $7,000 over an average of 1.5 years (Abiter), equates to approximately $466 USD per month. This seems reasonable compensation for a Discord moderator role, which is typically not full-time. To ensure fairness and inclusivity, we propose a retroactive rewards process for all early contributors, including Arbiters and other early contributors. Each contributor should submit their contributions for evaluation with KYC to ensure transparency and fairness. Implementing KPIs could help in awarding each contributor fairly, reflecting the value of their individual contributions.
Hi accessor.eth, There is no precedent for similar topics receiving retroactive rewards in the Arbitrum DAO.
But there is optimism DAO’s retroactive rewards for community contributors (Retroactive Public Goods Funding) for reference. https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal-2-0/20404/13?u=mysterymen
Hi MaxLomu, Thank you for your valuable feedback
Due to the failure to fully preserve the contribution data and the failure to effectively record the community impact indicator data. We can only provide estimates. Prior to the tally vote, we will update data on arbiter's community impact metrics at the 2.0 proposal.
Regarding receipt of USDC donations from the foundation, we will update it in the 2.0 proposal.
gm folks, thanks for pushing the v2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
Thanks for pushing version 2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
I'd like to share a few thoughts that I believe should be addressed before we proceed to the vote on Tally.
gm folks, thanks for pushing the v2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
Thanks for pushing version 2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
I'd like to share a few thoughts that I believe should be addressed before we proceed to the vote on Tally.
The proposal could better highlight and summarize the impact the Arbiters have made on Arbitrum. I noticed that version 1 presented some metrics more effectively than version 2. Highlighting the impact is important because we should start move as a DAO from output driven KPIs ("I have answered xx tickets") to impact-focused metrics ("we have onboarded xx new users").
It seems the proposal on Snapshot omits the fact that Arbiters have already received $7000 each. Mentioning this would offer a more full, fair, picture.
On that note (and I'd appreciate confirmation on this), my understanding is that an Arbiter's total compensation over 2.5 years amounts to (with no additional payments within this period):
*** 5000 ARB (valued at $9500 currently)** *** $7000 cash**
This totals $16500 for 30 months of contribution, averaging about $550 per month.
These figures seem fair to me, and if they're accurate, I'll be inclined to vote in favor.
Our team voted Against this proposal. I think, that any offers that provide drops or grants should be competitive. This proposal provides funding only to a limited number of people, and does not provide the opportunity to receive a similar drop to the same people who were active at the early stage of Arbitrum development. Our comments to adjust this proposal to improve the fairness of financial distribution was not taken into account
I voted for this temp check on Snapshot. I appreciate the work the Arbiters did to contribute to Arbitrum and think they should be rewarded. I think the amount is reasonable.
Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 2.0 has been posted on the Snapshot for hot check
Ali, thank you and TreasureDAO ARC
After discussion, arbiters agreed to reduce the retroactive reward amount of this proposal to 125K arb. I will update the retroactive award amount at the top of the proposal later.
Thanks, Arbiters
Just following up here on behalf of the TreasureDAO ARC.
Mysterymen, thank you for providing all the information and answering questions. We will support this proposal at a maximum of 5K ARB per person, meaning a total of 125K ARB as a reward for the Arbiters. We say this for the following reasons:

Thanks for pushing version 2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
I'd like to share a few thoughts that I believe should be addressed before we proceed to the vote on Tally.
gm folks, thanks for pushing the v2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
Thanks for pushing version 2 of the proposal on Snapshot.
I'd like to share a few thoughts that I believe should be addressed before we proceed to the vote on Tally.
The proposal could better highlight and summarize the impact the Arbiters have made on Arbitrum. I noticed that version 1 presented some metrics more effectively than version 2. Highlighting the impact is important because we should start move as a DAO from output driven KPIs ("I have answered xx tickets") to impact-focused metrics ("we have onboarded xx new users").
It seems the proposal on Snapshot omits the fact that Arbiters have already received $7000 each. Mentioning this would offer a more full, fair, picture.
On that note (and I'd appreciate confirmation on this), my understanding is that an Arbiter's total compensation over 2.5 years amounts to (with no additional payments within this period):
*** 5000 ARB (valued at $9500 currently)** *** $7000 cash**
This totals $16500 for 30 months of contribution, averaging about $550 per month.
These figures seem fair to me, and if they're accurate, I'll be inclined to vote in favor.
Our team voted Against this proposal. I think, that any offers that provide drops or grants should be competitive. This proposal provides funding only to a limited number of people, and does not provide the opportunity to receive a similar drop to the same people who were active at the early stage of Arbitrum development. Our comments to adjust this proposal to improve the fairness of financial distribution was not taken into account
I voted for this temp check on Snapshot. I appreciate the work the Arbiters did to contribute to Arbitrum and think they should be rewarded. I think the amount is reasonable.
Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal 2.0 has been posted on the Snapshot for hot check
Ali, thank you and TreasureDAO ARC
After discussion, arbiters agreed to reduce the retroactive reward amount of this proposal to 125K arb. I will update the retroactive award amount at the top of the proposal later.
Thanks, Arbiters
Just following up here on behalf of the TreasureDAO ARC.
Mysterymen, thank you for providing all the information and answering questions. We will support this proposal at a maximum of 5K ARB per person, meaning a total of 125K ARB as a reward for the Arbiters. We say this for the following reasons:

#10 Arbitrum Open Governance Call (17.1.2024)
arbiter participated in this public governance call. And made some statements and explanations about the 2.0 proposal. There were also some discussions with other delegates.
Hi accessor.eth, There is no precedent for similar topics receiving retroactive rewards in the Arbitrum DAO.
But there is optimism DAO’s retroactive rewards for community contributors (Retroactive Public Goods Funding) for reference. https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal-2-0/20404/13?u=mysterymen
Of course, feel free to contact me and arbiters
Best, Arbiters
can you elaborate on this? I am not aware personally.
I am also inclined for the yes after reading your numbers, basically 550/m is the equivalent of the cost of a discord mod in a lot of daos... and I think the contribution here was higher (in term of value) :)
Hi MaxLomu, Thank you for your valuable feedback
Due to the failure to fully preserve the contribution data and the failure to effectively record the community impact indicator data. We can only provide estimates. Prior to the tally vote, we will update data on arbiter's community impact metrics at the 2.0 proposal.
Regarding receipt of USDC donations from the foundation, we will update it in the 2.0 proposal.
3. Yes, we confirm that we have only received donations of 6500-7000 USDC (per arbiter) from the foundation. Apart from this, there are no other donations, retroactive rewards and airdrops of any kind.
Someone from foundation can confirm that average if you’d like. You can also seek confirmation from foundations and communities.

Hello Ali and Treasure DAO ARC, @thechaingamer.eth
Thank you for your discussions and responses with Treasure DAO ARC. But arbiter would like to explain more to Treasure DAO ARC, other delegates and the community.
Hello Ali and Treasure DAO ARC, @thechaingamer.eth
Thank you for your discussions and responses with Treasure DAO ARC. But arbiter would like to explain more to Treasure DAO ARC, other delegates and the community.
And the arbiter only knows the amount after the USDC reward distribution is completed. The arbiter can only passively accept it.
When considering USDC rewards, the foundation only considers part of the arbiter's contribution in the Arbitrum discord, and the evaluation metric is only the number of mesages that help community members. This does not include all contributions made by arbiters in the Arbitrum discord as well as prominent contributions outside of the discord.
Someone from foundation can confirm above info, if you’d like.
Arbiter, as an early contributor, spent a lot of energy and time on the development of Arbitrum, and was even online for 16 hours every day during Odyssey. If this energy and time are focused on airdrop activities, arbiter believes that there will be more airdrop rewards. But arbiter chooses to practice the Arbitrum community spirit and focus his time and energy on promoting the development of the arbitrum community.
The amount of retrospective rewards from Arbitrum to early adopters and ecosystem project airdrops, does not take any price into account. arbiter believes that it is unfair to tie the price of arb to arbiter’s retroactive rewards.
The Optimism community attaches great importance to early contributors and has retroactively awarded 800,000 OP to four types of contributors: ambassadors, translators, Nerds, and TechNERD (contributors in the optimism discord between 2021 and 2023). https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal-2-0/20404/13?u=mysterymen
Of course, arbiter also takes into account the concerns and doubts of delegates.
But Arbiter faces more than 17 types of contributions, from 2021 to 2023, two and a half years of continuous contribution. There is indeed not enough ability to establish a reward evaluation system. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rJbiyN2vWNhrvKL7oYy4OTtHGGpH_ab8/edit#gid=772819773
Arbiter also hopes to seek more suggestions and opinions from delegates on and evaluation system and the arb retroactive reward amount. (arbiter will continuing to reduce the retroactive reward amount)
In conclusion, the arbiter believes that the retroactive reward amount can be reduced. But it would be inappropriate to completely dismiss the remaining contributions of arbiters in the Arbitrum discord and the outstanding contributions outside the Arbitrum discord.
Finally, arbiter kindly ask the Treasure DAO ARC and other delegates to give arbiter more consideration, support and understanding.
Arbiter representatives will also participate in today's Arbitrum public governance call, hoping to have more communication with delegates. https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/10-arbitrum-open-governance-call-17-1-2024-2/20526/3

Thank you for the additional context. I understand what you're saying.

@thechaingamer.eth A few additional points that need to be mentioned are:
When the foundation considers USDC rewards, it only considers part of the arbiter's contribution in the Arbitrum discord. This does not include all contributions made by arbiters in the Arbitrum discord and outstanding contributions outside the discord.
As the earliest Arbitrum contributor, the Arbiter has been seeking to obtain voting rights and voice in the governance of Arbitrum DAO from the beginning. However, due to various reasons and restrictions after the arbitrum airdrop, the foundation can only award limited USDC.
Regardless of the price of arb, the amount of retroactive rewards we have always seeked is only about 2 times of Arbitrum’s maximum airdrop reward (10,250 ARB). (Regarding the retroactive amounts, we also have more explanations and details in the proposal)
As arbiters (early contributors), we hope to have more voice and governance rights in the DAO, instead of just using high-priced arb to measure the value of arbiter's contribution.

Hello, the time is in 2023.9.16
Thank you. This helps. So even on the lower side the total reward/compensation provded by the Foundation was at least 162500 USDC (basically 162500 ARB since ARB was at or below the $1 price for a long time).
Last question from me, and I check with someone on the Foundation side as well. When was this payment made? 2021? 2022? 23?
Thank you, Ali
The Arbiters wallet identities were protected for privacy & security reasons. So the arbiters don’t know each others rewards, but the foundation provided us with the average usdc reward per arbiter which is around 6500-7000 usdc (One of the arbiters gave up the usdc reward). Someone from foundation can confirm that average if you’d like.
Would you mind sharing what the USDC reward per arbiter was? Thank you
Compared to the Optimism community. Arbiter contributions to the Arbitrum community. More than the contributions of ambassadors, translators, Nerds, TechNERD, etc. in the optimism discord, the 17+ contribution category far exceeds them. Arbiter's outstanding contributions outside of arbitrum discord are also evident in the proposal.

In addition, it should be mentioned that the arbiter has received a certain amount of USDC rewards from the Arbitrum Foundation. But arbiter believes that USDC's rewards don't match the arbiter's outstanding contributions. Following communication and advice from the Arbitrum Foundation and other delegates. arbiter seeks the rest retroactive reward from the Arbitrum DAO.
Outside of this proposal, 2021 - As of now, 25 arbiters have never received any ARB donated or retroactively from the Arbitrum Foundation or Arbitrum DAO.
Arbiter welcomes and values any comments and questions raised by delegates or community. Here are some explanations and clarifications from arbiter:
1.After the Arbitrum DAO was established, there was a large-scale airdrop for the Arbitrum network early adopters and ecosystem projects. However, Arbiters did not receive airdrop retroactive rewards after the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO. Arbiters, as an important early contributor to the Arbitrum ecosystem, have not been given any right to speak and vote in the development of the Arbitrum DAO.

2.ariter’s application for retroactive rewards in the form of a proposal was driven by communication with Arbitrum team members and suggestions from other Arbitrum DAO delegates.
3.Arbitrum DAO has launched many retroactive reward and donation programs for Arbitrum contributors. Any contributing member can apply. More retroactive reward and donation programs are coming.
for example:
In November 2023, the arbiter 1.0 proposal is in the snapshot and tally voting stages. It is not possible to apply for other retroactive award and donation programs. 25 arbiters are a whole. Applying for retroactive awards.
arbiter believes that other contributors prior to the advent of the Arbitrum DAO could receive retroactive rewards by applying or proposing. We further believe that the Arbitrum DAO and community welcome contributors.
4.About Experimental Incentive System for Active ArbitrumDAO Delegates
arbiter is composed of 25 members from all over the world. It would be extremely difficult to organize the arbiters again. In addition, arbiter’s 2.0 proposal is to apply for retroactive rewards. Of course, arbiters will also consider how to participate in Experimental Incentive System for Active ArbitrumDAO Delegates
The Arbiter role is a multifaceted position that involves various responsibilities aimed at contributing to and supporting Arbitrum project. Here's an explanation of the Arbiter role:
Arbiter Role Description:
Arbiter make positive contributions to the development of Arbitrum and the community. We are early contributors and are very actively involved in diverse tasks to contribute to the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem in general and the community at the Arbitrum discord in particular.The main responsibilities of the arbiter include:
Includes, but is not limited to, the following contribution types
Translation:
Arbiters are involved in translating content to make it accessible to a broader audience, fostering inclusivity within the community.
Promotion:
They actively promote the project within the community, both online and offline, to increase awareness and engagement. Community Support:
Arbiters provide assistance by answering questions and addressing concerns raised by community members, ensuring a positive and informative experience for everyone. Discord Management:
They take on the role of managing Discord channels, facilitating discussions, and maintaining a welcoming environment for users.
Scam Report:
Arbiters play a crucial role in identifying and reporting scams, helping to protect community members from fraudulent activities.
Closely linked with Team members:
They work closely with the core team members, fostering effective communication and collaboration to ensure the server operates smoothly and safely.
Community Liaison for Arbitrum:
Arbiters act as a bridge between the community and the Arbitrum project, addressing concerns, providing insights, and promoting understanding on issues related to Arbitrum.
Language Community Support:
They actively support and engage with the community using their own language, ensuring that language-specific needs and concerns are addressed.
Social Media Engagement:
Arbiters leverage social networks to promote the project, share updates, and interact with the community on various platforms. In summary, the Arbiter role is a dynamic and integral part of the community or project, requiring individuals to wear multiple hats, from language translation to community engagement and promotion. Their dedication contributes significantly to the overall success and sustainability of the project they support.
@cp0x
I meant even in the past, outside of this proposal. Has the foundation ever awarded these 24 or 25 folks with any ARB? Thanks again.
We haven't received any Arb so far.
Hi @Mysterymen - Have the group of 24 or 25 arbiters ever received any ARB from the DAO or the Foundation?

can you elaborate on this? I am not aware personally.
I am also inclined for the yes after reading your numbers, basically 550/m is the equivalent of the cost of a discord mod in a lot of daos... and I think the contribution here was higher (in term of value) :)

In addition, it should be mentioned that the arbiter has received a certain amount of USDC rewards from the Arbitrum Foundation. But arbiter believes that USDC's rewards don't match the arbiter's outstanding contributions. Following communication and advice from the Arbitrum Foundation and other delegates. arbiter seeks the rest retroactive reward from the Arbitrum DAO.
Outside of this proposal, 2021 - As of now, 25 arbiters have never received any ARB donated or retroactively from the Arbitrum Foundation or Arbitrum DAO.
Arbiter welcomes and values any comments and questions raised by delegates or community. Here are some explanations and clarifications from arbiter:
1.After the Arbitrum DAO was established, there was a large-scale airdrop for the Arbitrum network early adopters and ecosystem projects. However, Arbiters did not receive airdrop retroactive rewards after the establishment of the Arbitrum DAO. Arbiters, as an important early contributor to the Arbitrum ecosystem, have not been given any right to speak and vote in the development of the Arbitrum DAO.

2.ariter’s application for retroactive rewards in the form of a proposal was driven by communication with Arbitrum team members and suggestions from other Arbitrum DAO delegates.
3.Arbitrum DAO has launched many retroactive reward and donation programs for Arbitrum contributors. Any contributing member can apply. More retroactive reward and donation programs are coming.
for example:
In November 2023, the arbiter 1.0 proposal is in the snapshot and tally voting stages. It is not possible to apply for other retroactive award and donation programs. 25 arbiters are a whole. Applying for retroactive awards.
arbiter believes that other contributors prior to the advent of the Arbitrum DAO could receive retroactive rewards by applying or proposing. We further believe that the Arbitrum DAO and community welcome contributors.
4.About Experimental Incentive System for Active ArbitrumDAO Delegates
arbiter is composed of 25 members from all over the world. It would be extremely difficult to organize the arbiters again. In addition, arbiter’s 2.0 proposal is to apply for retroactive rewards. Of course, arbiters will also consider how to participate in Experimental Incentive System for Active ArbitrumDAO Delegates
The Arbiter role is a multifaceted position that involves various responsibilities aimed at contributing to and supporting Arbitrum project. Here's an explanation of the Arbiter role:
Arbiter Role Description:
Arbiter make positive contributions to the development of Arbitrum and the community. We are early contributors and are very actively involved in diverse tasks to contribute to the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem in general and the community at the Arbitrum discord in particular.The main responsibilities of the arbiter include:
Includes, but is not limited to, the following contribution types
Translation:
Arbiters are involved in translating content to make it accessible to a broader audience, fostering inclusivity within the community.
Promotion:
They actively promote the project within the community, both online and offline, to increase awareness and engagement. Community Support:
Arbiters provide assistance by answering questions and addressing concerns raised by community members, ensuring a positive and informative experience for everyone. Discord Management:
They take on the role of managing Discord channels, facilitating discussions, and maintaining a welcoming environment for users.
Scam Report:
Arbiters play a crucial role in identifying and reporting scams, helping to protect community members from fraudulent activities.
Closely linked with Team members:
They work closely with the core team members, fostering effective communication and collaboration to ensure the server operates smoothly and safely.
Community Liaison for Arbitrum:
Arbiters act as a bridge between the community and the Arbitrum project, addressing concerns, providing insights, and promoting understanding on issues related to Arbitrum.
Language Community Support:
They actively support and engage with the community using their own language, ensuring that language-specific needs and concerns are addressed.
Social Media Engagement:

In summary, the Arbiter role is a dynamic and integral part of the community or project, requiring individuals to wear multiple hats, from language translation to community engagement and promotion. Their dedication contributes significantly to the overall success and sustainability of the project they support.
@cp0x
I meant even in the past, outside of this proposal. Has the foundation ever awarded these 24 or 25 folks with any ARB? Thanks again.
We haven't received any Arb so far.
Hi @Mysterymen - Have the group of 24 or 25 arbiters ever received any ARB from the DAO or the Foundation?
Thank you
@krst @TreasureDAO @olimpio @Plutus @PrincetonBlockchain @realdumbird @litocoen @cattin @Cornell_Blockchain Hi, we have made changes in the comments you made on the 1.0 proposal, please check back again, thank！
Compared to the Optimism community. Arbiter contributions to the Arbitrum community. More than the contributions of ambassadors, translators, Nerds, TechNERD, etc. in the optimism discord, the 17+ contribution category far exceeds them. Arbiter's outstanding contributions outside of arbitrum discord are also evident in the proposal.

There are also some optimism retroactive rewards for community contributors that have not been counted.
What needs to be mentioned again is:
Hi, @cp0x Thank you for your communication. Your communication allows us to fully understand more solutions or methods for retroactive rewards for early contributors to Arbitrum DAO.
But arbiter no offense intended. We will make the following explanations and exchanges on the points you raised:

Various Grant programs through Arbitrum DAO For example: The Arbitrum Citizens Retrofunding Round #1
By initiating a proposal to Arbitrum DAO
ariter’s application for retroactive rewards in the form of a proposal was driven by communication with Arbitrum team members and suggestions from other Arbitrum DAO delegates. arbiter in the Arbitrum community is a collection of Moderators, OGs and Ambassadors.
From 2021 to 2023, the arbitrator has made outstanding contributions. Each arbiter is granted the Arbiter community role in the Arbitrum discord after being confirmed and recognized by the Arbitrum team. 25 arbiters are a whole. Applying for retroactive awards.
What is Arbiter? Why did arbiter initiate this 2.0 proposal? As well as the retroactive reward quantity and Detailed Breakdown, etc., there are detailed explanations and arguments in the 2.0 proposal.
arbiter fully agrees that other early contributors should also receive retroactive rewards. But the Arbitrum team has made it clear that arbiters have been deprecated. the role of Arbiter has been replaced by the Arbitrum team’s audit/customer support team, the Ambassador program.
Members of the Arbitrum Foundation also made it clear:the proposal in discussion is for a retroactive reward and not a future or ongoing one, so this fact wouldn’t be too valuable I don’t think. https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal/18557/61?u=arbitr
Arbiter spent a lot of energy and time in sorting out the 2.0 proposals. The 25 arbiters come from all over the world and have different environments and backgrounds. It was extremely difficult to get the arbiter together again.
From the current status quo, Arbiter no longer has the ability to establish an evaluation system or framework that can include all early contributors to Arbitrum.
In summary, the proposal’s retroactive membership scope is only the 25 arbiters recognized by Arbitrum team members. Does not include other early contributors.
We recommend other early Arbitrum contributors to pay attention to Arbitrum DAO’s more retroactive reward grant plans. You all can also initiate more proposals based on contribution category or contribution status.
For example: The Arbitrum Citizens Retrofunding Round. All early contributors can participate. https://arbitrum-citizens.notion.site/arbitrum-citizens/Welcome-to-the-Arbitrum-Citizens-Retrofunding-Round-1-4f6c6da552124142ba2b85bfacd98580
Just today, Arbitrum DAO announced: The Arbitrum Foundation Grant Program Phase 2 just started!
Hi, I in no way belittle your services to the community, however, I believe that any offers that provide drops or grants should be competitive. What I mean: It seems to me that the proposal should look like this.
Hi, I in no way belittle your services to the community, however, I believe that any offers that provide drops or grants should be competitive. What I mean: It seems to me that the proposal should look like this.
In this case, it is a fair offer in which anyone who considers himself an early adopter can participate
But in the proposal presented there is a limited circle of people who have agreed among themselves, which I consider unfair towards others.
Hello, @Mysterymen! No offense, but:
Hello, @Mysterymen! No offense, but:
And lastly, I think in the near future there will be a vote to encourage delegates, in which active users like you will be encouraged. You can receive 5k ARB per month for six months, which is more than the requested drop.
