GFX Labs - Delegate Communication Thread

3 Polls Closing July 18, 2024

Mission Requests: Intent #1, 500k OP
Summary: This poll asks OP holders which Mission Requests to support.

NB: All Missions can be approved within this total budget.

Recommendation: Vote Request 1 (Cross-Chain Voting), Request 7 (Develop Non-Technical Solutions For Increasing Participation in DAO Governance). These are the Missions we believe most strongly in amongst those proposed. Their budgets are modest and the utility for each should be obvious from the titles alone.

Mission Requests: Intent #3A, 6M OP
Summary: This poll asks OP holders which Mission Requests to support.

NB: All Missions can be approved within this total budget.
NB: The four Missions titled “Optimism Dominance in Yield-Bearing Assets” must all four be approved to become active.

Recommendation: Vote
Request 1A: Optimism Dominance in Yield-Bearing Assets 1,
Request 1B: Optimism Dominance in Yield-Bearing Assets 2,
Request 1C: Optimism Dominance in Yield-Bearing Assets 3,
Request 1D: Optimism Dominance in Yield-Bearing Assets 4,
Request 2: Subsidized Audit Grants**
Request 3: Developer Tools,

Request 4: Research capital migration to the Superchain,
Request 6: Optimism as base for LRTs

These are the Missions we believe most strongly in amongst those proposed. All are tightly focused on attracting developers or productive capital to Optimism mainnet.

Mission Requests: Intent #3B, 12M OP
Summary: This poll asks OP holders if they support 12,000,000 OP for funding Foundation-sponsored grants requests by Superchain members to deploy their own grants programs.

Recommendation: Vote Yes. While we believe there needs to be more focus on Optimism mainnet, fostering user growth and economic activity on partner chains is also important and we support this funding allocation. GFX Labs is also one of the three voting members to review and approve such grants applications, so we are well positioned to keep the funds tightly focused on proven ways to grow adoption.
