Arbitrum governance approved an onchain vote to allocate 225 million ARB, currently valued at approximately $225 million, to fund gaming development on Arbitrum. The initiative aims to establish Arbitrum as the leading blockchain for gaming. A future vote will be held to elect a council to oversee the program. The proposal, known as the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP), passed with 76% approval from over 15,000 participating addresses. It allocated 160 million ARB for attracting game developers and 40 million ARB for infrastructure. The remaining 25 million ARB will be used for marketing, legal compliance, and operational costs. The funds will be distributed across a three-year period.
