Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee

Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee

The Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee (ADPC) has a multifaceted mandate aimed at enhancing the efficiency and transparency of procurement processes within the Arbitrum Ecosystem. Primarily, the ADPC oversees the implementation of a recently ratified procurement framework for security-oriented service providers, ensuring diligent execution in line with established standards. Additionally, the committee is responsible for researching and proposing the creation of a subsidy fund to support security services for smaller projects. It will develop a comprehensive eligibility assessment framework, initially focusing on security-oriented services, with potential expansion to other verticals. Moreover, the ADPC will establish procurement frameworks for various service types, ensuring access to high-quality providers and requiring ratification by the Arbitrum DAO. Lastly, the committee will create guidance materials to support applicants navigating the procurement process effectively, enhancing accessibility and clarity for all stakeholders involved.
