Arbitrum DAO - Ecosystem Incentives
This relates to funds allocated towards incentives in the Arbitrum ecosystem. Initial incentives focused on user acquisition and was distributed to them via protocols, whereas more recent incentive programs target specific assets and activities across Arbitrum.

DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)
During June 2025, the DAO passed a Tally vote to approve the DRIP.
The incentive program focuses on targeting specific assets and activities across Arbitrum rather than specific protocols. Incentives per specific assets/activities will run in 3-month seasons through the DRIP so that the program can be adapted and different assets and activities can be selected as learnings are taken into account. Each season will have a singular, specified goal. The proposal allocated 80M ARB to cover 4 'seasons' (3-month cycles). Each incentive “season” is governed by a set of rules specifying which on-chain actions or participants qualify for ARB rewards. An independent distribution partner is responsible for: - Receiving ARB for the Season - Identifying Eligible Wallets: The partner reviews network data to find wallets that meet the season’s eligibility criteria. - Distributing ARB Rewards: Once the partner confirms which wallets qualify, it distributes the ARB to each eligible wallet based on the season’s defined, and potentially changing, parameters. No distribution is sent directly to protocols; all ARB flows to qualifying wallets. - Frontend Creation: Shows all eligible protocols, effective APRs, and data from the evaluation partner.
The season selection committee will be run by Entropy, Offchain Labs and the Arbitrum Foundation.
