Arbitrum DAO - Treasury
Arbitrum Stable Treasury Endowment Program (STEP)
The STEP aims to support the budding RWA ecosystem on Arbitrum by diversifying 35 million ARB from the DAO's treasury into assets that are stable in value with minimal volatility, liquid in conversion and provide yield uncorrelated to crypto markets that is at least commensurate with the so called "risk free rate of return" of US Treasuries. The program also allocated 300k ARB towards operational expenditure. The committee will comprise of 6 members (25k per member), and the Arbitrum Foundation will facilitate payment to legal counsel. There is then a budget allocated towards due diligence and to program management and oversight.

The STEP committee examined applications and suggested the protocols to allocate funding to, which was submitted to a Snapshot vote. The outcome of that process was to allocate the 35M ARB across 6 service providers, which was approved by the DAO.
