DAO
Enhancing ARB Token Utility and Governance Security
Friday. August 16 at 2:00 PM
1 min. readThe Arbitrum DAO has recently approved a proposal to enhance the utility of the ARB token and strengthen governance security. With overwhelming support from over 25,000 participants, the proposal focuses on enabling ARB staking to unlock the token's utility. This initiative introduces a liquidity-staking ARB token (stARB) through the Tally protocol, allowing tokenholders to stake and delegate their tokens in exchange for stARB. The stARB token offers features like automatic compounding of rewards, restaking options, and compatibility with various DeFi applications. By incentivizing active participation within the ecosystem, the proposal aims to address the low engagement levels and underperformance of the ARB token. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of preventing governance attacks by implementing a staking mechanism to secure the treasury and governance structure. These strategic efforts are vital for maintaining the integrity of the governance process and encouraging active involvement within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
