Something interesting happened while I was digging through the @Arbitrum Watchdog program… I realized it’s not just a system — it’s an actual team making sure the DAO stays clean, accountable, and grift-free. And one of the most important signals came from something @EntropyAdvisors posted recently: “Let’s keep the Arbitrum DAO grift free.” That line stuck. So here’s what I found while going deeper into the committee behind Watchdog 👇🏾 . First up: @EntropyAdvisors These guys are not your run-of-the-mill consultants. They work exclusively with the Arbitrum DAO — no side gigs, no conflicts. Think of them as the DAO’s governance brain: 🔹 Guide proposal processes 🔹 Keep decisions aligned with community values 🔹 Build structure instead of chaos 🔹 Push long-term thinking over short-term hype . And their work shows: 🗓 A proper governance calendar 💰 Fee change proposals to strengthen revenue 🤝 Support frameworks for GovHack 🔑 A multisig support service to cut costs Entropy is basically making sure Arbitrum grows with intention, not luck. . Next piece of the committee: @Arbitrum Foundation These are the ecosystem stewards — not police, but protectors. Their role in Watchdog matters because they understand all the moving parts: 🔸 The roadmap 🔸 The tech 🔸 The ecosystem partners 🔸 The compliance requirements When a misuse claim comes in, they help validate, investigate, and keep everything professional and fair. Entropy brings strategy. The Foundation brings structure. Both are needed. . And then there’s the community heart of the committee: @SEEDGov This one caught my attention. SEEDGov brings participation — not top-down governance, but community-driven accountability. Their dual-unit setup is smart: 💠 One side focuses on expertise 💠 The other on community engagement It keeps governance efficient and inclusive. When you’re reviewing grant misuse, that community voice is a big deal. It makes sure the process isn’t just for the DAO — it’s by the DAO. . Put them all together and you get the full Watchdog review force: 👉 Entropy = governance strategy 👉 Arbitrum Foundation = compliance & ecosystem oversight 👉 SEEDGov = community accountability Balanced, decentralized, and united around one idea: Arbitrum should stay grift-free. And with rewards up to $100K for top investigators, Watchdog isn’t just oversight — it’s active protection of the DAO’s resources. . This might be one of the most underrated governance upgrades I’ve seen in a while. What do you think — is Watchdog the start of a more serious, more transparent DAO era?

Massive cyberattack hits Kenya 🇰🇪! Government websites from Health to Water and Education were hacked, some taken offline, and messages posted. Authorities say it’s one of the largest attacks on Kenyan agencies ever. #Kenya #CyberAttack #GovHack #BreakingNews #CyberSecurity

The Watchdog program isn’t just some faceless system. 👀 Behind it, there’s a review committee making sure things stay fair, accountable, and community-driven. Let’s start with one of the key players: @EntropyAdvisors Entropy Advisors isn’t your average consultancy. They work exclusively with the Arbitrum DAO — no side gigs, no double-dipping. Think of them as the DAO’s in-house strategy partner, but decentralized-style. So what do they actually do? 🔹 Guide Arbitrum’s governance processes 🔹 Keep proposals aligned with community values 🔹 Strengthen decision-making structures 🔹 Help the DAO stay on track for long-term growth Basically: less chaos, more clarity. What I find cool about Entropy is that they’re not just chasing quick wins. They’re focused on mission alignment — making sure the DAO’s choices reflect its bigger vision, not just short-term hype. That’s a tough balance in crypto, ngl. And they’ve been busy. 📝 Built a structured governance calendar 💸 Proposed sequencer fee changes to boost revenue 🤝 Set up funding for Arbitrum at GovHack 🔑 Even launched a Multisig Support Service to save costs They’re literally shaping how the DAO runs. The vision? A DAO that’s more resilient, transparent, and scalable over time. Entropy wants Arbitrum to have governance structures that can grow with the ecosystem. Not just work today, but still work years from now. And because this is Web3, the work is all out there. They post regular updates, run open calls, and keep their reasoning transparent through things like delegate threads. So if you’re the type who likes receipts 🧾 — they’ve got plenty. Bottom line: In the Watchdog program, Entropy isn’t just reviewing reports. They’re bringing years of governance strategy to make sure @Arbitrum stays accountable, efficient, and aligned with its long-term vision. Next up, we’ll look at another piece of the committee 👀 follow me for my review of the next...

If the liberal party got away with too much, how much should every other party be allowed to get away with? Bonus points if you make a graph. @GovHackAU #GovHack #OpenGov #auspol

Why this is pivotal for growth of the NEAR Protocol ecosystem and Web3: • Governance & Product: Empowers tokenholders to propose, debate, and vote on protocol upgrades. • AI & Research: Positions NEAR as a leader in blockchain-native intelligence, agents, secure enclaves, and novel governance models. ⸻ 📈 Milestones to watch: • HoS 1.0 Launch: Stake & vote on-chain. • GovHack: Real-world stress-testing of governance tools. • AI Delegate Prototype: First on-chain agent making autonomous decisions. NEAR’s HoS roadmap is a blueprint for the future of open, on-chain democracy and AI innovation. Ready to stake, govern, and build intelligent agents on NEAR? Start now. #BuildOnNEAR @NEARProtocol

Today I’ll be unpacking NEAR’s Horizon of Sovereignty (HoS) roadmap through Q2–Q4 2025. 🧵👇 @NEARProtocol HoS initiative is all about decentralized governance & cutting-edge AI research. It’s structured in two tracks - Governance & Product (top) and AI & Research (bottom), spanning Q2 through Q4 2025. ⸻ 🔹 Q2 2025 (Governance & Product): • Initial Delegate Selection & Agora Contract ✔️ • Backend Contracts & First Delegate Meetings 🔄 • Form Working Groups & Draft Constitution 🔄 • Audit & Finalize HoS 1.0 & 2.0 Parameters 🔄 • HoS Dashboard Launch & HoS Alpha Complete 🔵 ⸻ 🔹 Q3 2025 (Governance & Product): • HoS Beta Complete 🔵 • HoS 1.0 Go-Live: first staking & first vote 🔵 • Finalize HoS 2.0 Design 🔄 • Target 10% Network Staked 🔵 ⸻ 🔹 Q4 2025 (Governance & Product): • GovHack hackathon to stress-test proposals 🔵 • Models & Agents running in TEEs 🔵 • Stretch goal: 25% of NEAR staked under HoS 🔵

NEAR is cooking something serious for 2025 and you’ll want front-row seats. The House of Stake (HoS) roadmap just dropped and it’s bold: 🗳️ Real onchain governance ⚙️ HoS 1.0 goes live soon 🎯 25% of $NEAR staked by Q4 ‘25 💻 GovHack, dashboards, and more rolling out

NEAR is cooking something serious in 2025 and you’re gonna want front-row seats. 🍿📜 The House of Stake (HoS) roadmap just dropped, and it’s packed with some of the boldest steps in crypto governance and AI research yet. Let’s break it down real quick: 🔹 Governance & Product @NEARProtocol isn’t just talking decentralization , it’s building it: •✅ Agora Contract: check. •🔧 Backend audit working groups: happening now. •📈 HoS 1.0 goes live later this year. •🗳️ First vote staking kicks off governance in motion. •🎯 Target? 25% of NEAR staked in HoS by Q4 2025. •💻 Govhack, dashboard launch, and alpha-to-beta rollouts all on track. This isn’t vibes-only governance. This is structured, on-chain, community-powered control. 🔮 AI & Research Here’s where it gets wild: •🤖 AI Assistant is coming not some ChatGPT clone, but a NEAR-native, verifiably private, monetizable assistant. •🧠 AI Research Lab, public goods funding, AI delegate prototypes… •👨🏽‍💼 AI President Project starts in Q4 whatever that means, I’m watching 👀 •📄 First published research paper lands by end of the year. @NEARProtocol isn’t just upgrading blockchain. It’s upgrading how we run blockchains and how we use AI to assist, govern, and even earn. It’s transparent. It’s decentralized. It’s ambitious. 📌 Mark it: HoS 1.0 goes live soon. AI Assistant right after. If you’re not already watching NEAR, this is your wake-up call. Don’t sleep on this!

🇯🇲 The official website of the Jamaica Racing Commission (jrc.gov.jm) has been defaced. 🚨 Junin-CLS has defaced hundreds of websites, with a strong focus on government domains across various countries.

Kurt Pudnicks, self identified @LibertariansNSW candidate, finds it amusing to doxx a former liberal candidate in a group chat with over 100 people in it, clearly in breach of Section 474.17C of the NSW criminal code, carrying a maximum 6 year prison sentence. Is this former GovHack leader what the libertarians are all about?

naa.... this one is very exclusive... only ETHcc Arbitrum GovHack participants got it... shout out to @HackHumanityCo for these! they are actually awesome!

Remember the project from Brussels GovHack, very nice stuff 👏 @paulofonseca

Appreciating your thoughts and agreeing with the observations your making here and the previous tweet Emily. I've run 13 hackathons of all shapes and sizes, from Startup Weekends, ideathons with structured design thinking exercises pre ideation and prototyping, to internal hackathons and hybrid hackathons combing people from 2 or more specific organisations for strategic development. More recently a non-code GovHack which you might find interesting x.com/klausbrave/status/1780… Would love to have a chat and share more, DMs open.

6.2/ Operating Profit = Gross Profit - Operational Expenses (Average operating profit of $1M over the past 3 months) Operational Expenses are costs indirectly tied to revenue generation and include: - DAO Operations (e.g., ARDC, ADPC, Delegate Incentive Program) - Incentives (e.g., LTIP, STIP) - Grants (e.g., Stylus Sprint, DDA, GovHack) - Financial Management (MSS) When the DAO runs incentive programs, operational expenses can surge to 10x-20x the gross profit. This underscores the need for smarter capital allocation for incentives to ensure the DAO's long-term growth.

I'd love to join the course if there are still spots available. I've been deep diving into DAOs the last 15 months and developed a novel decentralised governance hackathon for DAOs: GovHack. Have delivered this twice with Arbitrum DAO. See: x.com/klausbrave/status/1780… I'm now at a stage of zooming out looking at other ecosystems learning what I can and updating the playbook, would love to learn more about @Polkadot governance and universal principles from the @HowToDAObook @PuncarH2D team.

I spent 2-days with the VDAO team in Denver running a condensed GovHack to facilitate defining the DAO identity and laying the foundation for ongoing governance and strategy. I thoroughly enjoyed the work, great crew, lots cooking, more to be shared soon. Excited for where @joinvdao is heading.
