Voting Cycle #39c (July 24 - 30, 2025)
Anticapture Commission Dissolution Proposal
Vote: For
Reasoning: Given the changes made for Season 8 and the discussions around the ACC’s purpose, it makes sense to dissolve it after experimenting with this structure for three seasons.
Season 8/9 Operating Budgets
Vote:
Developer Advisory Board Operating Budget
Grants Council Operating Budget
Milestones & Metrics Council Operating Budget
Security Council Operating Budget
Reasoning:
These councils have demonstrated the need to be maintained over time as they cover essential functions for the Collective. Budget increases were expected given the OP/ETH ratio fluctuations, and the leads coordinated to present these proposals. There will be slight adjustments since it exceeds the cap, but these will be minimal.
Grants Council Election: Final Reviewer
Vote:
GFX Labs
Mattgov.eth
Michael
MasterMojo
Doug sugma
Reasoning:
I think it’s strategic to maintain well-seasoned reviewers, considering this season’s objectives continue similarly from the previous season where they all served as reviewers. I’ve worked with all of them and witnessed their care for the Collective and the high-level reasoning behind their decisions.
Grants Council Election: Operations
Vote: Bunnic
Reasoning: After working side by side with him, I can say he’s become a backbone for the GC, always providing immediate responses and staying on top of everything.
Milestones & Metrics Council Election: Reviewers
Vote:
Brichis
V3naru
Tané
SuperchainEco.eth
SEEDGov
Reasoning: I’ve seen how committed they are to the Collective, and I have no doubt they can add tremendous value to the M&M Council. Any of these candidates would be excellent additions, any combination could form a dream team, and if I get elected, I would love to work alongside any of them.
Developer Advisory Board Election: Members
Vote:
Wbnns
M4rio.eth
Blockdev
Devtooligan
Shazow
𓀣 Odysseas.eth 𓀢
Vectorized
Reasoning: I selected these profiles based on their high OP Stack proximity, past DAB experience, and/or exceptional backgrounds plus long-term alignment with Optimism.
S8 Governance Fund Mission: Grants Council
Vote: Not voting (Optimistic approval)
Reasoning: The expected outcomes align with Season 7, and considering the council’s maturity, I can only expect increasingly better results with each iteration.
S8 Governance Fund Mission: Developer Advisory Board
Vote: Not voting (Optimistic approval)
Reasoning: The DAB is a structure that has matured over time, taking on more responsibilities each season. They’ve already been decision-makers for some grants, and having their own budget to incentivize developer growth is logical.
