Our Proposals
At Areta, we are dedicated to finding new ways to grow and enhance the ecosystems we work with. Explore our recent proposals to learn more about the initiatives we are currently undertaking.
M&A for Arbitrum DAO
This proposal outlines the opportunity for Arbitrum DAO to form an M&A Unit focused on identifying and executing on M&A opportunities.
One of the primary ways for Arbitrum to scalably deploy capital and grow rapidly is to explore M&A transactions, and the upside is potentially massive. Additionally, this is a largely untapped opportunity in crypto, only explored selectively by a few projects in the space; therefore, setting up M&A would enable Arbitrum DAO to set a precedent in the space.
The key objective of having an M&A Unit for Arbitrum is to act as a key growth driver for the Arbitrum ecosystem, help the DAO expand non-organically through acquisition opportunities, and cement its position as the leading L2 by productively utilizing its treasury.
This initiative, though being a heavy lift, would set a precedent for the entire crypto space and offers significant upside potential to the Arbitrum ecosystem if executed properly.

Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee (ADPC)
The ArbitrumDAO Procurement Committee (ADPC) is responsible for creating and administering procurement frameworks within the Arbitrum ecosystem, including a proposal for security-service subsidies and the development of a streamlined process for procuring security service providers.
Specifically, tasked with whitelisting these providers, the ADPC aims to ensure high-quality services through a preemptive quality assurance mechanism. This initiative is essential for fostering transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the Arbitrum community, benefiting the ecosystem by securing vetted service providers and establishing a more organized procurement process. By implementing these frameworks, the ADPC plays a crucial role in enhancing the organizational structure of ArbitrumDAO and creating a reliable marketplace for service providers, which in turn, will help grow the ecosystem.

Contribution Efficiency System for SafeDAO
Safe DAO proposed the Outcomes-Based Resource Allocation framework, or ‘OBRA’, which structured the use of resources to ensure the most efficient and useful utilization of SafeDAO’s assets. To support Safe DAO’s key contributor initiatives, namely OBRA, the Contribution Efficiency System (CES) enables Safe DAO to operate seamlessly, enhancing transparency and elevating process standards to an institutional level. The CES streamlines OBRA onboarding, milestone setting, progress tracking, and outcome reporting to SafeDAO.

Following the completion of a successful initial phase of managing the Contribution Efficiency System for SafeDAO, the CES has proposed an extension of operations.

Uniswap-Arbitrum Grants Program
The Uniswap Arbitrum Grant Program (UAGP) is a first-of-its-kind cross-ecosystem initiative supporting projects building at the intersection of Arbitrum and Uniswap. This proposal established a working group to develop two ecosystem initiatives: a cross-ecosystem grant program (UAGP) and a meta-governance program, utilizing Uniswap's Arbitrum airdrop.
The proposal outlines the rigorous design elements necessary to effectively operate a lean and meaningful grant program, from grant assessment through DAO reporting and outcome assessment. This proposal suggested a 6 month period of operations, distributing over $1m in grant funding.
