I helped price this out and explained my reasoning here:
tl;dr
2.5 months to do the work and 1 year lock up on OP creates a lot of risk so we can’t value this request at the current market rate of OP, especially when there is a high issuance rate and no token utility for OP.
That said… This is the ONLY proposal out here working towards OP utility. If we can get this dashboard together and start enabling the token holders, from the bottom up, to understand and decide how to control the levers that create revenue from gas that the network is collecting, then we will be one step closer to being able to decide to potentially buy OP with the gas fees collected (even though, as @bobby said, this is not possible yet.)
Creating a dashboard for the community to design an auction of ETH for OP is going to be a follow up proposal, if we get support from the community and succeed at building this dashboard.
These dashboards allow DAOs to make complex decisions and understand them, and this is what we have to do to get to OP utility, as it seems like the Foundation and OP labs are not allowed to even discuss the topic.
