Arbitrum Foundation caused a major stir among community members: The organization asked the Arbitrum DAO/community to make 750m $ARB available for operational costs. As the vote concluded, the result was not in the interest of the Abitrum Foundation which then ignored the outcome and replied that it was a ratification, not a request. Also, the Foundation had already spent 10m $ARB before posting the vote, much to the confusion of the community. Arbitrum Foundation posted a lengthy forum entry justifying their actions and rationale.

Watchlist

stkcvxcrvPlain3andSUSD has an outsized share within the collateral pool as it accounts for 32% (+200bps) of the total. The ratio has come down a lot over the last weeks from a peak of ~40%. We continue monitoring this ratio to avoid concentration risk from building up.
