[FINAL] Economic Co-design of Gas Fees for the OP Stack

[Griff]

This project is inspired by one of the most active threads in the forum:

Change the use of OP tokens from a governance token to the main network token for gas payment

Completely agree @CryptoFlight. [mando-way-this-is-the-way] If I were to design this, and I would be interested in leading that charge.

I would have the DAO vote on the configuration, using a dashboard and param parties to inform the communi…

I’ve been really excited about making this proposal for about a year.
