According to ChainCatcher, Arbitrum DAO is currently voting on a $1.5 million proposal aimed at rewarding representatives for active participation in voting. The proposal, introduced on November 19, seeks to reduce voter apathy and enhance active voting rights.

The reward amount is determined by the representative's share of voting rights, the type of proposal, and the remaining budget. Major on-chain votes can earn up to $700 each, while smaller off-chain votes have a cap of $300. As of the end of today's voting, Snapshot data indicates that 55.8% support the plan, 27.5% abstain, and 16.5% oppose it. The plan is set to run for an initial period of one year, with the DAO Operations Committee tracking expenditures and managing the budget quarterly. If the plan ends early, any remaining funds will be returned.

The founding team of Stream Finance has filed a lawsuit against its partner in a U.S. federal court, accusing him of misappropriating $93 million in protocol assets to cover personal liquidation losses and falsely claiming a "car accident that destroyed his laptop" to delay disclosure. The lawsuit alleges that Caleb McMeans, who took over the protocol's operations, entrusted over $90 million in assets to Ryan DeMattia, with whom he had no formal relationship, for offline management. DeMattia was liquidated due to insufficient personal loan margin during the October ETH crash, subsequently using Stream assets to cover losses, ultimately leading to the near-total loss of the protocol's assets. The Stream team accuses McMeans of negligence, refusal to take responsibility, and transferring $2.1 million in protocol assets to a personal wallet, and is now requesting the court to rule in breach of contract and enforce its obligations under the protocol.
