BlockBeats news, on March 25, Arbitrum DAO is reviewing a proposal to withdraw funding support for the 'Gaming Catalyst Program' (GCP) and reclaim the previously allocated 225 million ARB tokens. The proposers pointed out that the program was approved under 'overly optimistic market expectations' and has now proven to be unsustainable. One of the main supporters, Treasure DAO, has exited Arbitrum, and other key contributors have also shown a decline in involvement or enthusiasm. Additionally, the GCP has been criticized for issues such as lack of transparency in fund usage, increased team compensation, and reduced reporting obligations. The proposal states that the project 'has not even established basic operations and transparency.' GCP committee member David Bolger responded that Arbitrum has become an important hub for gaming projects, attracting more than 25 game-related chains, including Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Tap Nation, to build on its tech stack.

GCP was launched in March 2024 to promote the development of the Web3 gaming ecosystem on Arbitrum, originally intending to use most of the funds for game project financing over three years. Currently, community governance discussions are still ongoing, and no clear consensus has been reached.
