Promote with Leviathan NewsGFX Labs and Arbitrum community member NathanVDH have submitted a non-constitutional “GCP Clawback” proposal to the Arbitrum DAO seeking to reclaim the bulk of the 225 million ARB allocation previously granted to the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP). The authors argue that the GCP was approved during a period of “exceptionally optimistic” expectations for Web3 gaming that have not materialized, and that the program has underperformed while consuming significant setup and legal costs with limited on-chain deployment of capital so far. The proposal calls for all unutilized and uncommitted ARB held by the GCP to be returned to the Arbitrum treasury and for the program to be wound down in an orderly but decisive manner. The clawback motion follows months of scrutiny around the GCP, which was originally approved in mid‑2024 with a mandate of up to 225 million ARB to position Arbitrum as a leading hub for Web3 gaming via investments, grants, and infrastructure support. According to the proposal, contributors highlight issues including management turnover, opaque reporting, prolonged inactivity, and what they describe as mismanagement relative to the scale of funds delegated. The authors emphasize that their goal is to preserve DAO funds, restore community trust, and reset expectations so that any future ecosystem programs are strictly performance‑driven, with clearer accountability and tighter oversight over large strategic allocations.
