The contract will distribute native yield to ARB token lockers across a span of 12 months. The initiative is separate from Arbitrum STIPs. The staking mechanism serves as an alternative to revenue sharing, which has legal complexities. Notably, staking will not serve the purpose of economic security. A new coalition would also be tasked with data collection and auditing of the staking contract. Before staking can be activated, the proposal must pass through a formal onchain vote on Tally. **Arbitrum Coalition Proposal** ------------------------------- Voting is [now open](https://snapshot.org/#/arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x42f68a26ff5a5be692a80468a1d1885cf07d590836536f5169cc4b69f64f3f37) for a proposal to establish the Arbitrum Coalition, which includes Blockworks Research, Gauntlet, and Trail of Bits. This initiative seeks to perform research and development for the Arbitrum DAO, aiming to enhance the DAO's decision-making process with thorough research services over a 12-month period. In return for their services, the coalition members are requesting compensation of 2.2 million ARB tokens. The funding request has sparked debate due to its significant size, which is equivalent to an annual salary of up to $1.3 million for each participating role. The proposal is contentious, currently holding a 57% approval rate. Voting ends on November 10th **Aave V2 Ethereum Market Paused** ---------------------------------- Following a validated vulnerability report, the Aave Community Guardian has [paused](https://twitter.com/bgdlabs/status/1721567238098924026) the Aave V2 Ethereum Market. Select assets on the Aave V3 markets on Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism have also been frozen. No funds are at risk, and users can still withdraw and repay positions in frozen markets. Markets not impacted include Aave V3 on Ethereum, Base, and Metis. The Liquidations Grace Sentinel, a newly implemented safeguard across all networks under protective measures, introduces a grace period that temporarily halts liquidations, providing users with time to manage their positions. A governance proposal is underway to upgrade Stable Debt Tokens to enhance security. The Aave Community Guardian is a group of community-elected members within a 6/10 multisig that holds the authority to enable certain protocol-level controls in emergency situations.
