If a $2 donation can 50x and keep a dev team committed to open source - is it worth it? How about $20 or $100?

this might be the most important chart in crypto right now.
developer activity: one of the clearest signals of long-term health is down meaningfully from its peak. it appears that attention has shifted, incentives have dried up, and speculation once again moved faster than utility.
we all know there isnβt much to do onchain today.
and we also know that those building real foundations rarely get the spotlight.
we are also well aware that capital still flows to short-term dopamine loops, BUT...that game is starting to collapse under its own weight. and the lesson is coming:
if nothing meaningful happens onchain, distribution loses its power.
what we need now is not just more developers
we need more SUPPORT for developers
more teams thinking about end-to-end product, not just code
more focus on usable primitives, not just new mechanisms
more people helping projects reach real users
iβm excited to see the rise of more opinionated ecosystems
builders and incubators who actually help apps go from zero to one
and who understand that adoption is not inevitable,
it has to be earned, the hard way, the gritty way, the door-to-door way.
we need this desperately because what unlocks the next era is not a bull market driven by trade winds,
it is meaningful things to do, onchain, that people actually want.
those who help bring that to life
will shape the direction of everything that comes next

The false dichotomy of DAOs.
Our job is to figure out how to be decentralized, autonomous, and organized.
There is a Third Option.
.@arbitrum dao is famously decentralized, with not just treasury spends but even code upgrades requiring tokenvoting approval
after 1.5 years of the experiment, we are finally in the 3rd act of what @DisruptionJoe foresaw at the beginning: centralization by stewards
I don't think this is negative, the gains in efficiency are needed to compete at the highest level
worth pointing out that in the last few months, we have seen
1/ the foundation request another 2.5% of token supply for strategic partnerships (bringing their total to 10%)
2/ entropy advisors step up to take leadership across DAO initiatives & bring some order to the house
3/ movement towards an OpCo or legal entity for the DAO, which would be the final nail in the coffin
the urgent question is how we prevent the harmful 4th act, or apathy from the voters
if ARBs value is in governance, we need to make it fun π€‘

Round 1: 45000 ARB distributed to Arb gaming, 22 project profiles created, 11 grants given, 2 rounds of voting to assess operator performance. 3 ships launched, 2 ships survived.
Round 2? Live now: πapp.grantships.fun
Some good stuff in here.
We graded our performance for Grant Ships pilot round 1 and put it in our colorful pilot retrospective report.
How did we do? Have a look ππ

π Grant Ships is introducing duo-token voting to identify top allocators in the game. Our initial round of votes, open to Arbitrum delegates, produced two winners. Unfortunately, one of our Ship operators didnβt make it. Now, weβre holding a secondary vote with community members and contributors from @hatsprotocol, @gitcoin, @alloprotocol, and @thriveprotocol. The 10-day voting period will determine funding ratios for the remaining ships in the next grant round, starting July 28th.
While the app undergoes changes based on feedback and improvements from the first round, gaming projects can still enter their profiles on the app. These profiles will be ported over to the new app for the start of the grant round. At that time, registered projects can begin applying for grants from the two remaining ships. Learn more at app.grantships.fun
