Vote is underway for @arbitrum to steal 750m $ARB from treasury for its “Foundation” to hand out “Special Grants”.

No votes on these grants.

No mention of security or oversight.

3 ppl control the Foundation.

This is a SLUSH FUND for Arbitrum VCs.

Total embarrassment. There’s a good thread on this from delegate @blockworksres here.

I made an important correction to my recently published $tBTC report. blec.report/tbtc Previously, I had mistakenly said that 21 of the 40 node operators could collude to steal Bitcoin.

This ignored the fact that seats on Bitcoin wallets are randomly assigned to Threshold node operators based on the size of their T stake.
