Arbitrum DAO Approves $215 Million Fund to Boost Gaming Ecosystem
Arbitrum Foundation, the team behind Arbitrum (ARB), an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution that aims to increase transaction throughput, has decided to allocate a large amount to developing the gaming industry within its ecosystem. The approved proposal derived the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP), which will dispense 225 million ARB tokens, equivalent to $215 million, within three years. This change will help increase coverage and interest within the video games industry, targeting developers and potential gamers.
Arbitrum Commits $215M to Boost Gaming Sector
Launched in March, the community has warmly welcomed the initiative, with 75% of voters granting a go-ahead. Prominent supporters were L2Beat, Wintermute, and the gaming-focused Treasure DAO. Opponents such as Blockworks Research and Camelot DAO were against the move. Subsequently, Treasure DAO reacted positively on social media platform X in response to the approval of the statement, ‘Arbitrum is the home of gaming – let’s make some magic happen.’ This sentiment implies that the community is eager to grow the gaming category in Arbitrum.
The fund is mainly targeted at game publishing and development companies. New and emerging game developers can also take up to $500,000 ARB, which is approximately $483,000. Larger developers can look for investments that involve a value share through tokens, equity, or similar methods. These strategic investments aim to support developing and growing new games in the rapidly growing Arbitrum gaming industry.
ARB Token Price Fall Despite New Program
A team of staff will be available to run the GCP daily. However, a council of five people with experience in gaming, venture capital, data analysis, and DAO governance will oversee the program. This governance structure enables the management of funding to meet the set goals and objectives of the DAO while at the same time coming up with new innovative ways of doing things and being answerable. The council also has a veto on investment decisions and appointments to the teams to guarantee the program’s proper execution and compliance with its rules.
The GCP has set a budget limit of $25 million to control its operational costs. The DAO must approve any expenses over this amount, which underlines the program’s strict financial policy. Such a rationale for structuring governance and budget management is vital to the program’s success and longevity.
Despite the positive developments, the ARB price has experienced a downward trend in the market. It is currently trading at $0.9638, a decrease of 1.40%. The trading volume has also dropped by 32.17%, indicating a possible continuation of this bearish sentiment. However, the strategic investments through the GCP are expected to stimulate long-term growth and attract new players and developers, potentially stabilizing and enhancing the token’s market performance.

In the aftermath of a class-action lawsuit filed against Lido DAO in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, the Ethereum staking service has recently started voting to appoint an entity to respond to the pending class-action litigation.
The lawsuit, filed on April 3 this year, alleges Lido DAO to have violated security laws as it operates as a “general partnership” that “runs an Ethereum staking business.” Particularly, LDO tokens or related transactions are unlawfully offered or sold to the public, the plaintiff argued. This legal development has sent shockwaves across the industry.
Lido DAO Starts Voting: Here’s Why
On June 27, the U.S. court ruled that the legal process had been served adequately on Lido DAO via public postings by the plaintiffs. The staking service provider was offered 14 days to respond.
A failure to respond within the given time frame could lead to a default judgment by the court, based on the plaintiffs’ claims. This potential outcome poses a significant threat to the project.
In an effort to mitigate these risks, the community has initiated a voting process to appoint an entity to respond to the pending class-action lawsuit. The voting went live on snapshot.org, promptly gaining significant traction across the broader market.
Notably, the proposal suggests authorizing Dolphin CL, LLC to file a motion to dismiss the class-action suit. However, it’s clarified that Dolphin CL will not serve as the general representative or proxy of Lido DAO and will only file a motion on its behalf.
Meanwhile, at press time, the proposal’s odds of passing appear to have gained significant favor. A staggering 51 million voted yes, amounting to 100% of total votes. Not a single vote was against the proposal.
Also, the community spotlighted that not passing the proposal could present further risks to the project, as although not sure, the default judgment could hamper community operations.
In the interim, LDO, the native token of Lido DAO, traded sluggishly, coinciding with legal uncertainty.

LDO Price Dips
As of writing, the LDO price dipped 4.12% over the past day despite the broader market uptrend. The token traded at $1.55, with its daily lows and peaks being $1.55 and $1.63, respectively.
The weekly chart showed a 20.86% plunge in value, while the monthly chart showed a 30.66% fall. This sluggish price action coincides with the lawsuit, sparking bearish sentiments.
It’s worth noting that cryptocurrencies such as XRP and ETH are prime examples of how regulatory uncertainty negatively impacts price. Crypto market enthusiasts await further developments on the matter.
