Verdict

Arbitrum

ARB — Governance Rights Report
Tier 2 S1 — Token-Governed Protocol Assessment as of 2026-08-31
GSA-1 pass GSA-2 near-miss GSA-3 fail GSA-4 fail GSA-5 near-miss GSA-6 fail GSA-7 fail GSA-8 fail

Why this rating: Governor+Timelock, elected Security Council and the most developed treasury-policy framework (STEP) and disclosure cadence (monthly Token Flow Reports) — highest-probability first-passer of GSA-4 and GSA-5. GSA-2 near-miss: council removal process needs on-chain enforceability verification; GSA-4 near-miss: STEP is policy enacted by vote, not a contract-enforced covenant
