Arbitrum Security Council Moves To Correct 51M ARB Voting Power Discrepancy

Arbitrum’s Security Council has initiated a non-emergency governance action to correct a Delegated Voting Power discrepancy in the ARB token contract, reducing the recorded total DVP by roughly 51.17 million ARB.

The proposal, posted on the Arbitrum governance forum, says the contract’s recorded total Delegated Voting Power was around 5.459 billion ARB, about 51.17 million ARB higher than it should have been. The discrepancy came from initial initialization estimates.

That may sound like a large change, but the important part is what it does not do.

The action does not change individual ARB balances. It does not alter delegation distributions. It does not require users to do anything. It corrects the recorded aggregate total used by the contract.

So this is a governance-accounting fix, not a token-holder balance change.

TL;DR

• Arbitrum’s Security Council is correcting a Delegated Voting Power discrepancy.
• The recorded total DVP was about 51.17 million ARB too high.
• Individual balances and delegation distributions are not affected.
