In a statement, The Arbitrum Foundation stated: „Arbitrum DAO will have power to control key decisions at core protocol level“.

Furthermore, users can check their eligibility for claiming these tokens during Airdrop by visiting gov.arbitrum.foundation website but also cautioned people against potential hackers or scammers who frequently use such opportunities for malicious activities such as phishing attacks using fake websites etcetera.
ARF Token Supply & Features
The total supply of ARF tokens is 10 billion out which 3 billion are reserved explicitly for mining rewards over next 5 years while remaining 7 billion tokens available via public sale or locked liquidity pools etcetera for strategic initiatives such as funding development projects or operational expenses related to running network operations smoothly.. These tokens offer features like staking/delegation abilities & rewards structure based upon number/frequency/types of transactions conducted through either Arbirum One or Nitro networks respectively .
Conclusion
In conclusion ,Arbitrums aims at achieving decentralization through launching its native token & transitioning itself into DAO , so as any decision regarding future developments related to this platform can be taken collectively by all stakeholders involved in this ecosystem rather than just relying upon any single entity i-e Offchain Labs (creator) alone hence offering more autonomy & control over its own destiny going forward .
