Request for proposals seeking ideas for grant programs and program managers for the Arbitrum DAO. The initiative focuses on experimenting with funding mechanisms, matching diverse community leaders with funding models and support, and addressing the DAO’s immediate needs. Approximately 3 million ARB is available for distribution among five to ten programs; individual proposals are generally unlikely to receive more than 500k ARB, including administration and development expenses.
Applicants may submit grant program ideas or apply to be a program manager. Applicants may submit more than one program idea. Program managers should be values-aligned community leaders; applicants proposing to run multiple programs must demonstrate capacity and an execution plan.
