More on Arbitrum
The debut of DAO governance for the Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova networks was announced by the Arbitrum Foundation in March. It also unveiled the airdrop for its native governance token, ARB.
On March 23, 12.75% of the ARB community allocation was given out through an airdrop. The Arbitrum Foundation made its resolve known by submitting two new proposals that would limit its power and expand community members' power after a community-wide uproar over its decision to quietly transfer 750 million ARB tokens to one of its wallets.
The Arbitrum Foundation stated in an April 5 tweet that it "will not move" the 700,000,000 ARB tokens that are still in its "Administrative Budget Wallet" until the community has given its consent to "an acceptable budget" for the amount.
