Arbitrum employs a DAO structure emphasizing stakeholder inclusivity. Using the Arbitrum Token (ARB) as its governance medium, larger stakeholders naturally have more influence. To balance this, Arbitrum uses quadratic voting. This system allows voters to express preference intensity. Voting costs increase quadratically, letting users weigh their preferences but also discouraging dominance by large stakeholders. It's a balance between giving a voice and ensuring no single entity can easily dominate decisions. Proposals undergo a "temperature check" stage on the Arbitrum DAO governance forum where community members can discuss, debate, and vote using Snapshot. If a proposal garners enough support, it advances to an "on-chain vote" facilitated by Tally, where specific voting thresholds must be met. Evaluating proposals requires assessing alignment with the Arbitrum DAO's principles, detailed in their Constitution. Additionally, members can delegate their voting power if they cannot actively participate.
