Arb’s supply is largely misunderstood as it is often quoted as including DAO tokens as locked. The ARB investor/teammate unlocks are nearing completion and will be fully unlocked this coming March. The remaining locked tokens investor/teammate account for about 7.7% of the total supply. So where are the rest of the tokens? They sit in the DAO treasury, and are not locked in the traditional sense. The Arbitrum DAO currently holds 2.84 billion ARB. But the DAO tokens are fully controlled by the circulating tokens as the only way those tokens move is by a vote of the other tokenholders. Here’s a screenshot from the recent Arbitrum transparency report:

Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin. Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them. With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks. To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools: • OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority. • Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach. For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.
