[RFC] - Vote For Castle Capital and DefiLlama Research in the ARDC V2 Elections:
Summary/Scope:
The Arbitrum DAO has currently voted in favour of the second round of the ARDC (Arbitrum Research and Development Committee). It will soon be time to elect the Research, Risk, and Security seats, as well as a Supervisory Council.
I am here representing Castle Capital as its Founder.
I would like to propose that the Treasury ARB be used to vote in favour of Castle Capital and DefiLlama Research who have submitted a joint application.
Our top line pitch is essentially:
- Half the price, twice the output, double the team
- Data researchers meet Arbitrum specialists
- Institutional-grade research abstracted to clearly and concisely inform delegates and allow them to make the best decisions possible
- 2 for 1: Onboard DefiLlama into their first DAO whilst betting on an Arbitrum-native research team who have demonstrated loyalty, knowledge, network, and experience
- Distribution into the wider space will be a key focus for us post-research - we will ELI5 information for delegates, and propogate it to our own audiences too
- Strong working relationships with Arbitrum contributors across the DAO, app builders, AF and OCL.
We just entered the ‘Amendment Period’, where we can edit our applications until the vote opens on Tuesday 3rd Dec (next week).
For additional context, Abracadabra Money DAO voted in favour of Castle in a previous election almost a year ago, where we were successful.

Voting
Will go live at 18:00 CET and last 72 hours. Snapshot link can be found here.
If the proposal was to pass, Abracadabra would be voting for Castle Capital using the treasury ARBs in both snapshot and tally votes.
Voting Passed.
