Arbitrum DAO - Grants Programs
The Arbitrum DAO has implemented various grants programs to foster growth and facilitate development within the Arbitrum ecosystem. Grants are either awarded directly from the DAO's treasury wallet to grantees, or are awarded to grant manager(s) - the grant manager(s) approved by the ArbitrumDAO have sole discretion on how to allocate the grant program’s ARB treasury based on their own criteria. The Arbitrum Foundation focuses on the legal backend for supporting the grant programs while the DAO representatives are free to execute on their proposal and allocate funds according to criteria agreed with the community. The Arbitrum DAO has implemented 2 grant programs, as well as issued several direct grants (i.e. funding allocated directly to a grantee without being facilitated by a grant manager via a program). For the purposes of the below analysis, funding requests by a single party funded directly out of the DAO's treasury wallet are included under direct grants. The Arbitrum Foundation also has its own grant program, solely under its control - figures for their program have therefore not been included in the analysis below.
Grant Criteria
Grant programs overseen and facilitated by third parties, with grantees receiving funding via these third parties and not directly from the DAO. Examples include Plurality Labs and Questbook.
Arbitrum DAO Grant Programs
Funding sent directly from the DAO's treasury wallet to the ultimate recipient. This could either be as a proposed grant or any other proposal where the end beneficiary is funded directly and not via a third-party grant manager/facilitator.
Arbitrum DAO Direct Grants
Supports builders with milestones-based funding for growth. All grants issued through this program will serve to improve the adoption of Arbitrum chains, create stronger technical structures, and build sustainable communities in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
