🚨 NEW DROP FROM WOLFGANG MÜNCHAU 🚨
Will Trump default on US debt to force the Fed's hand?
It sounds insane, but Wolfgang called the 2008 global financial crisis. Now he’s watching the “Big Beautiful Default” come into focus.
This one’s for the macro heads, the doomers, and the Bitcoin bulls. Read it here.

Improving Arbitrum’s Incentive Programs
Since 2023, Arbitrum has deployed nearly 150 million ARB through a series of community-governed incentive programs. These ranged from short-term experiments to longer-term pilots, all aimed at supporting ecosystem growth, bootstrapping liquidity, and attracting users. When optimising a DAO's capital, it’s critical we pause to reflect on the performance of past programs, what we can learn, and how to build better incentive structures going forward.
As Research Members of the Arbitrum Research and Development Committee (ARDC), DL Research and Castle Labs were tasked to evaluate Arbitrum’s historical incentive programs and identify best practices from external ecosystems. Our findings draw from both Arbitrum-native initiatives and comparative efforts across ecosystems like Optimism, zkSync, Sonic, and Avalanche with the goal to help lay the groundwork for more strategic, transparent, and impactful programs in the future.
Lessons from the journey so far:
⚠️ Program complexity created friction
⚠️ There was a gap between readiness and design
⚠️ Measurement and reporting remained ad hoc
⚠️ Short program durations created deployment pressure
⚠️ Strategic alignment was often missing
Where do we go from here?
1️⃣ Clear objectives set at the DAO level, not just by applicants.
2️⃣ Defined ecosystem-wide outcomes, such as market share or user retention.
3️⃣ Strategically bootstrapping high-potential verticals, rather than attempting to scale existing ones indiscriminately.
4️⃣ Built-in flexibility, with the ability to reallocate based on performance.
5️⃣ A dedicated incentives operations unit to track, report, and manage programs.
6️⃣Standardised metrics and public dashboards to support transparency and oversight.
📰 The full details of our report are available here within the Arbitrum DAO forums.
