Abracadabra’s Role and Voting
As members of the Arbitrum ecosystem, and an important player in governance, it is pivotal that Abracadabra makes SPELL holders voice heard as it has happened in the past. Ali’s deep involvement in the security community as a founder, teacher, and researcher makes him a great candidate for Arbitrum Security Council.

Voting is now posted on snapshot and will go live 20/09/23 14:00 CET and last 24 hours. It can be found here. If the proposal was to pass, further security councils votes would still be directed towards Ali Atiia.
