2 Polls Closing September 18, 2024
Rolling Mission Requests
Summary: This poll asks OP holders if they support allowing more Mission Requests for this season. This is possible due to an authorized budget for Mission Requests that exceeds the maximum budgets of all previously approved Mission Requests.
Recommendation: Vote Abstain. We fully recommend that this be approved, but because GFX Labs is on the Grants Council, which collectively proposed this poll, we are required under updated rules to abstain for our own vote to avoid the appearance of a conflict.

These all are needs or experiments we find compelling – in particular the very successful and in-demand audit grants. The other Mission Requests are helpful for business development and attracting new users and protocols to Optimism.
Others simply seemed like they needed more clear scope or different budget sizing to be effective. Or were low priority because they are largely done but not easy to find in one place (e.g. auditing the financial holdings of governance), so don’t require an entire Mission Request.
