# Continued Funding for the Arbitrum Foundation
AI summary
This proposal requests an additional year of funding for the Arbitrum Foundation, totaling $16 million in USD, 1,700 ETH, and 230 million ARB tokens. The Foundation acts as a growth engine for the Arbitrum ecosystem, coordinating technology development, managing strategic partnerships, and supporting ecosystem expansion. It also covers all operational costs for Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova, with over half of its expenses projected for technical costs.
If passed, the Arbitrum Foundation will receive significant funding to continue its operations, which could lead to further growth and development of the Arbitrum ecosystem. The DAO's treasury will be reduced by the specified amounts, but the Foundation aims to increase future revenue streams for the DAO. If it fails, the Foundation's operations may be severely curtailed, potentially slowing ecosystem growth.
