What is this about?

This discussion revolves around the introduction of the ThankARB strategy by DisruptionJoe, a strategic framework for the Arbitrum ecosystem¹. The strategy, developed through a participatory design process involving all 600,000 token holders, aims to guide the design of the grant framework by Plurality Labs, assist in coordination among interested parties, and offer direction for voting delegates and future grantees¹. The strategy is composed of three parts: a Strategic Diagnosis, a 4C Strategy Policy, and Strategic Actions, with a focus on decentralization and the role of DAOs¹. The ThankARB platform, backed by ThriveCoin technology, will be used to provide incentives and validations to empower the Arbitrum community¹.

How is the community reacting?

The community has shown a positive response to the initiative. OmnistratMatt commended the initiative, comparing it to Pet3rPan's Objective-based Resource Allocation (OBRA) proposal, and suggested a potential coordination method from his experience in the DAO space².

Why this is positive?

The ThankARB strategy is a positive development as it aims to bring coherence to the community, enabling better coordination and driving competency where it's most needed¹. It also seeks to empower the DAO to make data-driven decisions using an open data infrastructure¹. The strategy recognizes the community as Arbitrum's greatest asset and invites others to opt into a framework that provides coherence, coordination, and competency to a community-driven ecosystem¹.

Why this is negative?

There doesn't appear to be any negative aspects to the ThankARB strategy as per the discussion. However, it's worth noting that the strategy will not be the only one adopted by the DAO, enforced as a rule similar to the constitution, or exclusively available to Plurality Labs granted programs¹. This could potentially lead to conflicts or disagreements in the future if not managed properly.
