He also founded Plurality Labs, through which he distributed 5M+ ARB tokens to 400+ contributors and passed more than $15 million across 10+ successful proposals for Arbitrum DAO and Gitcoin, covering sybil-defense and ecosystem funding work.

Disruption Joe has been the subject of a dispute on the Arbitrum governance forum. In October 2023, NFTEarth filed a forum proposal seeking an investigation into Disruption Joe and a Plurality Labs colleague, alleging delegate and grants-program conduct violations. Plurality Labs had excluded NFTEarth from Arbitrum on Gitcoin matching-fund payouts; NFTEarth alleged retaliation, while Plurality Labs cited bad-actor and misuse-of-funds concerns. No formal finding against Disruption Joe has been established in the researched record.
