Arbitrum DAO Expenditure Operational Costs
Across the various funding programs the DAO has run, part of the funding has been allocated towards operational costs. Some proposals are themselves operational in nature (such as the ARDC and ADPC) but still include an operational cost element in the form of multisig signing fees, while others are operational but have no fee other than compensating the members of that proposal (e.g. AVI). For the purposes of the below analysis, operational proposals' operational costs will only include multisig signing fees. Direct grants have also not been allocated an operational cost below.
