According to ChainCatcher, Arbitrum DAO has adopted the ARB token staking proposal to improve the efficiency and security of protocol governance. The proposal will introduce the ARB staking function, but will not allocate fees to token holders for the time being. Liquidity-staking ARB tokens (stARB) implemented through the Tally protocol will support automatic compounding of future rewards, re-staking, and compatibility with DeFi.

The proposal aims to address the challenges faced by the value accumulation and governance mechanism of ARB tokens, while addressing the security risks that may be caused by the accumulation of a large amount of ETH in the Arbitrum DAO treasury. It is expected that a complete ARB staking implementation plan will be submitted in October this year, with a development cost of approximately $200,000 worth of ARB tokens.
