Arbitrum Long-term Incentive Pilot Program Approved, 45.815 million ARB will be invested in ecological construction

Recently, the Arbitrum community voted on a long-term incentive pilot program. The final result showed that the proposal to allocate 45.815 million ARB won with a support rate of 57.49%. Among them, 45 million ARB will be used for ecological incentives, and 815,000 ARB will be used to subsidize personnel involved in various tasks.

This decision was made based on the significant results achieved during the short-term incentive program (STIP). According to the data statistics, during the STIP period, various protocols in the Arbitrum ecosystem experienced comprehensive growth in user activity, total locked value, and trading volume. For example, decentralized exchange projects (DEX) saw a 118.72% increase in daily active users, a 49.24% rise in total locked value, and a substantial increase of 333.28% in trading volume.

The new pilot program has made several improvements based on STIP. First, the incentive mechanism will be more flexible, encouraging protocols to explore diverse incentive schemes. Second, a five-member evaluation committee has been introduced to conduct preliminary screenings of application projects. Additionally, the role of application advisor has been established to provide detailed feedback and guidance to applicants.

The application process is divided into 5 stages: Application Period ( 2 weeks ), Feedback Period ( 2 weeks ), Screening Period ( 1 week ), Voting Period ( 1 week ), and Incentive Period ( 12 weeks ). Approved agreements will receive ARB tokens through regular distributions within 12 weeks.

In addition to the 45 million ARB used for ecological incentives, 815,000 ARB will be allocated to members participating in the work, including committee members, application consultants, researchers, data analysis providers, and others. Among them, the total research bounty is 200,000 ARB, used to help the DAO draw meaningful conclusions from the incentive program.

It is worth noting that although the community vote has been passed, subsequent on-chain confirmation voting is still required to finalize the fund allocation. The implementation of this incentive plan is expected to bring new development opportunities to the Arbitrum ecosystem, promoting the landing and growth of more innovative projects.
