Arbitrum’s DAO was pitched as a strategy to “decentralize” management of the protocol’s improvement away from Offchain Labs, the corporate that launched Arbitrum, and convey customers and “the group” into the fold. Tokens had been airdropped, a reward to early adopters of the system, seemingly with nice promise. Sadly, the undertaking took some 18 months to construct goodwill and a constant person base, then broken its credibility in 5 minutes, in line with critics on the undertaking’s Discord.
