@Arbitrum
DAO grants 💸
I spent the weekend thinking about the best criteria to vote.
In general, I believe tokens should've been used to fund builders during this bear market, not liquidity mining which has very low long term benefits.
So how can I contribute?

@ArrakisFinance
Tough Choice.
While the protocol is chain-agnostic, and I'd prefer incentivizing DEXs, there were 0 proposals specifically targeting LST liquidity.
IMO staked $ETH is typically bought for holding, so good liq = higher TVL for Arb in the long term.

On Jan 17 2023, CBETH traded above ETH for the first time on
