Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Year 2 and Year 3
AI summary
This proposal seeks to extend Entropy Advisors' contract with the Arbitrum DAO for two additional years, starting September 1, 2025. Entropy Advisors aims to make Arbitrum the most effective capital-allocating DAO by focusing on treasury strategy, incentive design, data, and special projects. The original 15 million ARB vesting allocation is now split: 5 million ARB for Entropy Advisors (with a 1-year cliff and 3-year vest) and 10 million ARB reserved for the Arbitrum DAO's Operations Committee (OpCo) to negotiate milestone-based incentives. Unclaimed Year 1 funds (approximately $423,000) and a nullified 1.5 million ARB bonus will be applied to future payments to minimize ARB sales.
If passed, Entropy Advisors will continue to receive significant ARB tokens for their services, potentially improving the DAO's operational efficiency and capital allocation strategies. The shift to OpCo as the counterparty for the 10 million ARB portion could provide more direct oversight and flexibility in incentive structures. The DAO commits to a substantial financial outlay in ARB tokens, which could impact its treasury holdings.
