Ecosystem News

4844 OP Mainnet

Yesterday EIP-4844 went live on the Ethereum mainnet!

The EIP-4844 upgrade introduces protodanksharding, advancing Ethereum’s transaction architecture. This upgrade implements blob-carrying transactions, KZG commitments, and brings changes to the consensus layer storage. These changes collectively lead to a reduction in operational costs, marking a crucial milestone in Ethereum’s scaling efforts.
Implementation went live on Optimism at midnight and transaction costs in OP Mainnet went way down. Median transaction costs for OP Mainnet are just ∼ $0.02 USD!

We the Art winners

On Monday the final list of We the Art winners was announced!

We The Art is an initiative to celebrate onchain artists. The contest split a pool of 1,200,000 OP prize between four categories. Over 7,000 creators submitted their art, judging took multiple rounds until the 188 winners were selected. Read the full announcement.

Fault proofs to OP Sepolia

According to Kelvin Fichter and Ryan Wyatt, permissionless fault proofs will be shipped to OP Sepolia testnet in about 6 days.

Governance News & proposals

Discussion: The Path to Metagovernance

Metagovernance is the process of governing governance. In Optimism, the Collective gradually takes on more responsibility for the system and governance responsibilities, facilitated by the Foundation based on community feedback.

The Path of metagovernance post discusses the roadmap by which proposing design changes to the system will evolve over time. It outlines how the community is currently involved and the ‘path to metagovernance’, multiple phases to further include the community in metagovernance and gradually formalize the feedback process on governance design.

Phases are still in development. However, building shared context within the Collective is necessary to move into Phase 1, where community feedback will be incorporated during the design process. You can browse through the Optimism Open Metagovernance Design Resources in the Collective DAO Archives. Lavande also walked through this post and provided more useful context in this week’s Collective Community Call, here’s the recording.

New Superchain Dev Console

A sneakpeak was shared during today’s Demo Day of the new developer portal for Superchain developers. This new portal provides testnet faucets, you can also get customized UX feedback, developer support channels and more tools to help you build, launch, and grow your app on the Superchain.
Check it out.

Feature-complete fault proofs on OP Sepolia

The OP Labs Team announced the deployment of feature-complete fault proofs on OP Sepolia testnet, enabling permissionless validation. This marks the first open source, permissionless, feature-complete fault proof system in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Now, withdrawals of ETH and ERC-20 tokens from OP Stack chains can be initiated without involvement from a trusted third party. Invalid withdrawals can be challenged and removed by any participant in the protocol. Additionally, a fault proof framework for the OP Stack has been launched, making it easier to integrate more proof systems into existing smart contracts.

Moving forward, the team plans to deploy on mainnet with the ultimate goal of achieving “multi-proof nirvana,” which eliminates the current reliance on security councils. Read the announcement.
Read an overview on the current fault proof system.

Demo Day in their livestream era

Demo Day focuses on showcasing projects across the Superchain and giving these projects community feedback. Demoday used to be broadcasted on Discord, but is now available on the Unlonely app and Optimism’s X account.
This week we listened to Blockjoy and Matters Town.
Check out this week’s broadcast

Aave Gotchi is exploring the OP Stack

Gotchi Chain, the upcoming L3 rollup dedicated to Aavegotchi Gaming, will be secured by Base and is currently exploring using the OP Stack to enhance the chain.
Read the article.

Last week also brought us two exciting news:

The Superchain App Accelerator

Third Web partners with Optimism to bring the Superchain App Accelerator.

The accelerator will offer credits for developers to build apps on different Superchain networks with seamless user experiences, easy onboarding, and no gas fees. The $3M fund will focus on bringing the cost of building & using onchain apps to zero.
Read more.

Fraxtal on the Superchain

Last week, Fraxtal, the modular L2 chain built by Frax Finance launched on mainnet!

Fraxtal uses the OP Stack for its smart contract platform and execution environment, with a settlement layer built for L3, apchains and rollups from any stack. Fraxtal vision includes focusing on interoperability and continuing to collaborate with the Superchain.

Governance News & proposals

Voting Cycle #20 Voting Period begins today

Discussion on Retro Citizens Rewards

After finalizing RetroPGF3 and sharing the learnings on the latest round, it was announced citizens will be rewarded for their extensive work in reviewing projects. Collectively citizens submitted more than 10,000 votes in Retro Funding 3.

A specific point in the published criteria is generating discussion between some citizens as it rewards voting for 58+ projects. Some citizens argue this should be improved in further iterations as it deters citizens’ individual strategies of concentrating in reviewing all but concentrating their voting in a few high impact projects.
Read the discussion.

Code of Conduct Council feedback

The CoC Council is still receiving feedback on different approaches they’ve been exploring. These include:

Amendments to the procedure following the receipt of a report
Issuing reputational and mutual acknowledgment attestations for OP citizens, highlighting positive actions
Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement, a framework in which protocols can offer legal protection to whitehats who aid in the recovery of assets during an active exploit
Proposal to Alter Token House Code of Conduct Council Charter for following Seasons. Considering the extensive labor in crafting CoC reports, the council proposes to extend deadlines for reports. Timeframes for the new deadline are open to discussion

Governance News & proposals

Introducing the Collective Feedback Commission

The Collective is progressing to gradually include the community in metagovernance. As part of Phase 1 of this process, the Foundation announced the Collective Feedback Commission.

The Commission serves as a group of highly engaged community members that will be involved earlier in governance design, providing feedback on early design drafts when necessary. The Commission will include 10 Citizens and 15 delegates who qualified based on their previous contributions. The Foundation will reach out to qualifying members as they must opt-in to the Commission before March 31st. The Commission’s 6-month trial period will begin April 1st.

Additionally, as part of Phase 1, frequent polls will be conducted on low-context design parameters, open to any community member’s input.

Announcement and qualifying members | The Path to Metagovernance | Check out The Collective DAO Resources for context on DAO design

Onboarding OP Chains to Optimism Governance

The Foundation announced measures to ensure active, aligned and informed participation of OP Chains in the Optimism Collective. In 2024, 5 to 10 more OP Chains will be brought into the Collective, increasing the number of high impact contributors building the Superchain.

Measures include: onboarding through the Chain Delegation Program before unlocking voting power through their grants, strong recommendations to get involved in governance and integrate community feedback, potential recommendations to delegate voting power, and voting caps may be applied.

New updates on Curia’s Governance dashboard

The Optimism Governance Dashboard by Curia released a new version including enhanced UI and updates reflecting delegate’s partial delegation. Each delegate’s profile provides insights into voting power sources.
Explore the new updates

Token House participation and incentives report

The report introduced by @Joxes and team evaluates the progress of governance within the Optimism Collective during Season 5 (Cycles 16 to 19). The report provides insights on the state of the Collective, participation and voting, delegate activity, among other insights with the aim to gather useful data to improve future processes.

Grant News

RetroPGF: a new era

The Collective will allocate 850M OP to Retro Funding from the initial token supply to reward impact across Optimism, and the Superchain.

After RetroPGF3 learnings and feedback on Citizen workload, Retro Funding will transition from the RetroPGF traditional approach of broad scoped rounds to narrowly scoped round. The announcement outlines the next four rounds:

Retro Funding 4: Onchain Builders - May 2024
Retro Funding 5: OP Stack - late July/August 2024
Retro Funding 6: Governance - August 2024
Retro Funding 7: Dev-tooling - October 2024

The announcement also outlines details on two types of experiments that will be conducted on Retro Funding 4-7 to evaluate different types of impact. Read the details on the forum post.

Details on the application process are expected in the next few weeks. Each round will last about 2 and a 1/2 months and the specific amount of rewards allocated will be announced 8 to 12 weeks before its start.

Contributions that are outside of the scope of upcoming retro rounds include consumer facing tools, education initiatives and events. The Optimism Collective can still support these contributions via Token House Missions or in future Retro Funding rounds.

Governance News & proposals

Anticapture Commission welcomes new members

After re-evaluation of ACC membership criteria, three new members, @itublockchain, @Griff, and @she256, joined the commission. These individuals met the new criteria:

They maintained a voting participation of at least 70%, with more than 3 votes cast.
Delegates who cast their first vote in 2022 were eligible with a voting participation of at least 65%.
They have received retro rewards for their contributions to governance.

The Anticapture Commission represents the interests of individual delegates, and prevents actions that may result in the capture of the Token House by any one tokenholder or group of tokenholders.
Announcement | Learn more about the ACC

Catch up on The Collective DAO Resources

Through the Path to Metagovernance, the Optimism Collective will gradually take on more governance and system responsibilities, facilitated by the Foundation. As part of this roadmap different initiatives will further involve the Collective in DAO design.

The path outlines the importance of building shared context in DAO and governance design principles. As part of this process, The Collective DAO Resources open-source useful principles and processes to begin building this shared context. If you’re interested in getting involved with governance, next week’s community call will include an overview on these resources.

Grant News & Discussion

MACI-RPGF on OP Sepolia

In February, @samajammin proposed a project to add private bribery-resistant on-chain voting for Retro Funding upcoming rounds. The RetroPGF stack would be integrated with MACI, a privacy-focused on-chain voting platform. User registration, voting data and poll logic is stored on-chain, while tallying the votes would be offchain with ZK Proofs to guarantee its correct execution.

A Retro Funding powered by Maci would bring security benefits to voting: improving transparency, ensuring badgeholders cannot be censored or manipulated and users cannot verify how any specific user voted.

This Tuesday RPGF-MACI deployed on OP Sepolia testnet, and you can now demo it:
Read the proposal | RPGF-MACI demo

Mission Requests in Review Period

Submission period ended on Mission Requests round 2.

We’re now in the Review Period until April 24th, when the Grant Council will post the Grant Review Roundup. This roundup will feature the finalists selected for further consideration during the Decision Period.

Ongoing discussion: upcoming Retro Funding

As described on last week’s OP Bulletin, the 2024 Retro Funding rounds were announced.

The Collective will allocate 850M OP to Retro Funding from the initial token supply to reward impact across Optimism, and the Superchain. Each round will have specific scopes and two evaluation experiments will be implemented to evaluate the scope’s different types of impact. These adjustments address the Collective’s feedback to reduce and clarify the scope. The announcement also aims at sharing scope and experiment information with time to bring more previsibility into the process.

The announcement continues to spark comments from DAO members particularly surrounding projects that may no longer qualify for 2024 Retro Funding rounds, as well as inquiries about the evaluation systems in place.

Celo to build on the OP Stack

On Earth Day, April 22nd 2024, Celo celebrated its 4th anniversary with an announcement: its migration to become an L2 building on top of the OP Stack.

Following Celo Labs’ proposal for the blockchain’s migration at last year’s ETHCC, a community vote and multiple tests Celo implemented a hard fork to prepare for the migration. This will bring many benefits for Celo, including reduction in block time, a 50% increase in throughput and enhanced security bridging to Ethereum. “Building with the OP Stack allows a clear path to deploy an L2 without compromising Celo community needs”

Celo anticipated the launch on the OP Stack on testnet could happen as early as Summer 2024. Welcome to the OP Stack, Celo!

Read the announcement | Hear more about Celo’s journey to join the Optimism Collective

Lisk partners with Rarible

Lisk, a member of the Superchain not yet on mainnet, has partnered with Rarible. This partnership will enable Rarible SDK + APIs for all Lisk builders. This will allow apps, wallets, and marketplaces on Lisk to have real-time access to the status of NFT ownership and their origins.

On this week’s Joint House Community Call, Ben Jones provided an overview of different protocol upgrades that the Optimism Collective will be voted on Voting Cycle #23A (May 23 - May 29).

Governor Upgrade including UX improvements and bug fixes.
Protocol Upgrade: This upgrade will bring Fault Proofs on mainnet. Feature completeness will be high, this upgrade will allow anyone to propose the state of Optimism, and anyone to prove them wrong permissionlessly.
Protocol Upgrade: Pause structure modification. This upgrade will shift the ability to pause in the event of an emergency over the Security Council, resulting in both the Security Council and Foundation having the ability to pause the system. In the event of capture, the Security Council will be able to revoke the Foundation’s pausing ability.

Both protocol upgrades prepare Optimism for Stage 1.

Eligibility Requirements

Beyond meeting the scope, projects are required to collect certain artifacts before applying, including verification of ownership of the project’s Github Repo, verification of ownership over a contract or set of contracts, and providing verification over NPM packages.

What’s new in the application process

You’ll need to sign in via a Farcaster account. This will aid in account recovery and allow for a project to change their address and email associated if needed. Retro Funding hopes to benefit from these functionalities among others such as account verifications - which enables users to import elements of their identity (NFTs, ENS) from their other Etherum accounts. Additionally, signing in through Farcaster allows for long term individual and project identity.

You will need to create a project before beginning the application process. This decision is based upon learnings from previous rounds, allowing for a lasting project’s identity instead of it being related to a specific application. Separating applicants from projects reflects the nature of projects as it makes it possible for projects to be run by multiple people, and for those people to change over time. It enables projects to build reputation by consistently creating impact and receiving funding, as well as for individuals to build their own reputation.

New Deliberative Processes in the Collective

During Retro Funding 4, Optimism will experiment with deliberative processes by randomly selecting 50 voters to discuss a topic relevant to the round. The topic will be facilitated by rnDAO and Missions Publiques, who are specialized in designing and running such processes.

Selected voters will participate in plenary and subgroup settings across 2 sessions on May 30th and June 6th. Between sessions, the community will be able to comment on the draft output of the deliberation. Additionally, the plenary sections will be opened to the full set of voters.

The Citizens’ House will ratify the output of the deliberative process before Round 4 voting begins and after it will be incorporated directly into the Retro Funding 4 voting mechanism.

More details to be announced before the random selection of voters begins.

Introducing Backstop Grants

Backstop grants provide a path for teams to commit building in Optimism full-time. In instances where the Foundation would make a Partner Fund grant, a milestone-based backstop grant can be made for a token amount over a specified time period and specified scope of work.

Target grantees : builders dedicating all or a majority of their work to the Collective.

How it works
Selected grantees will be encouraged to participate in Retro Funding rounds that match their contribution. If the grantee receives a lesser amount than their grant, the Foundation will cover the remainder to meet that amount. If the amount is met in the round, the grantee will not receive any additional tokens. Amounts for backstop grants will not be disclosed so voters can assess a project’s impact without its influence.

Backstop grants don’t replace Retro Funding, which still remains the long-term source of support for teams.

Article: L3s on the Superchain

The Superchain vision embraces L3s!

Optimism will support L3s with two key features. It will enable custom gas tokens. Projects that have built a community around their L2 native token can evolve into a L3 while using their token as a gas token. Additionally, Plasma Mode, an alternative data availability protocol, can be leveraged by L3s. This will reduce L3s’ transaction costs while unlocking high throughput.

Metal joins the Superchain

Metal, the L2 launched by Metallicus, joins the Superchain. Metallicus aims to bridge the worlds of DeFi and TradFi with its diverse features. Metal will provide “direct connections to banks, payment partners and comprehensive onchain identity solutions”.

Retro Funding: deliberative process to define profit

After announcing that a deliberation experiment will be part of Retro Funding 4, Optimism revealed the topic to be discussed in the experiment: profit.

Selected badgeholders will deliberate and reach consensus on a definition of profit with an applicable formula. This definition will be ratified by the Citizens House and then applied by each badgeholder’s assessment of applicants. The formula will be used to calculate the amount of past rewards units received, given by instances of past funding as included in the application i.e. grants, revenue, and VC funding. These reward units will be deducted from impact rewards resulting in a project’s final OP allocation.

Ratification requires a quorum of 30% eligible voters and a majority of 51% casted votes. The vote will take place on Special Voting Cycle #23b (June 13th-June 19th).

Overall applying a defined formula to all applicants’ aims to bring some predictability to applicants and reduce voting complexity for badgeholders.

Governance News & proposals

We’re in the Reflection Period. From May 9th to May 22nd voters are to review retrospectives, understand the coming season and provide approvals. Season 6 will begin June 27th.

Season 6: News and Nominations

Introducing Season 6: Theme & Intents

Season 6 theme will be “Optimizing to support the Superchain”. It aims to optimize existing programs to better support the Superchain while increasing transparency in the process of transferring governance responsibility to the community.

The Foundation will propose all S6 Intents, ratified by the Token House (to be voted from May 23 to May 29th). Below you’ll find each intent, proposed Gov Fund budget & support:

#1: Progress Towards Decentralization with technical and governance targets, to strengthen the Collective’s value proposition of providing resilient, decentralized, scalable compute.

Retro Funding Round 5 and 6 will also support Intent 1.
Proposed Gov Fund Budget: 500k OP (for governance processes decentralization).

#2: Bring Chains to the Superchain aiming for 20 new OP Chains in 6 months.

All Retro Funding rounds encompass Superchain chains.
The Foundation may offer support via Partner Fund Grants.
The Gov Fund will not directly support this intent.

#3: Grow Application Developers on the Superchain, supporting demand-generating apps on OP Chains.

Retro Funding will support this intent through Round 4 and 7.
The Foundation will support this intent through infrastructure partnerships, experiments around identity infrastructure, and funding vertical-specific growth campaigns.
Proposed Gov Fund Budget: 18M OP – 6M for builder grants on OP Mainnet overseen by the Grants Council, and 12M OP for chain-specific grant programs listed in the Superchain Registry.

S6 Token House Nominations: Grant Council, CoC and DAB

Nominations are available to any delegate that would like to run to be a representative. The Collective will assess candidates and get the chance to ask them questions at a Town Hall on the week of June 6 to June 12.

Elections will be held on June 13th - 20th.
Submit your nomination with the link below using the specified ‘template’ by June 5th.

Code of Conduct & Template | Grants Council & Template | Developer Advisory Board & Template

Superchain Governance: Introducing Blockspace Charters

Season 6 introduces the concept of Blockspace Charters, which are the equivalent to the Operating Manual to the Superchain, providing the specific implementation details for different types of Superchain blockspace.

Implementation of Blockspace Charters responds to the need of users and developers to have an easy way to understand what blockspace has which properties and guarantees and the need of governance to understand how to make decisions about different forms of blockspace.

Read all the details here

Introducing the Collective Rewards Framework

Season 6 introduces a new framework designed to standardize rewards within the Collective.

This framework will be used by the Token House to assess budgets and bring predictability to governance participation rewards given to delegates and citizens. This is the first step towards handing over these responsibilities to a Budget Board, expected for Season 7.

Find the framework here.

New proposals that require approval

Top 100 delegates may provide approvals until May 22nd for the following proposals. If proposals receive 4 approvals, they will be voted on during May 23rd - 29th (Special Voting Cycle #23a.).

S6 Grants Council Operating Budget

Prospective Leads may propose a Grants Council Operating Budget for the season. Delegates should only vote to approve one budget and, when voting, are effectively electing the Lead that has authored an approved budget.

S6 Code of Conduct Council Renewal

Prospective leads can propose a budget for approval. Delegates should only vote to approve one budget and, when voting, are effectively electing the Lead that has authored an approved budget.

If renewed, the Code of Conduct Council would have a scope limited to enforcing the Rules of Engagement, which govern the usage of all Optimism hosted platforms. If successfully renewed for Season 6, the CoCC will become a persistent structure in the Collective. In the event that no budget is approved, the supportNERDs will monitor the forum and enforce the Rules of Engagement. Details here.

Developer Advisory Board Renewal

All prospective leads can propose a budget for approval. Delegates should only vote to approve one budget and, when voting, are effectively electing the Lead that has authored an approved budget. If successfully renewed for Season 6, the CoCC will become a persistent structure in the Collective. Details here.

Inflation adjustment

The Token House may adjust the inflation of the OP token to any value between 0% and 2%. If no draft is proposed or no proposal passes, inflation will remain at the rate last approved by governance (0%). Details here.

New Upgrades to be approved

Top 100 delegates may provide approvals until May 22nd for the following proposals. If proposals receive 4 approvals, they will be voted on during May 23rd - 29th (Special Voting Cycle #23a.).

Protocol Upgrade: Fault Proofs

This protocol upgrade introduces a permissionless Fault Proof system, allowing anyone to propose output roots and participate in disputes, eliminating dependence on a privileged proposer for withdrawals. It includes safety measures preserving the ability of a Guardian role to intervene in emergencies.

The upgrade also lays a foundation for future multi-proof systems, enhancing decentralization efforts. If it is approved and passes the vote, the upgrade will be deployed by the Security Council.

Protocol Upgrade: Guardian, Security Council Threshold and L2 ProxyAdmin Ownership changes for Stage 1 Decentralization

The upgrade enhances the Superchain’s security and decentralization by increasing the Security Council Safe’s signing threshold to 10 out of 13, assigning the Guardian role to a new Guardian Safe controlled by the Security Council, and appointing the Foundation as DeputyGuardian.

Ownership of the L2ProxyAdmin contract is transferred to the Security Council to ensure control over L2 predeploy upgrades. The changes improve incident response and meet Stage 1 rollup requirements without affecting node operations.

Governor upgrade: Improvements to advanced delegation allowance calculations

The upgrade focuses on improving the Alligator allowance storage system to handle partial and sub-delegations for OP voters more accurately. This upgrade addresses different issues than the previous Governor Upgrade approved last month.

Since its launch in December 2023, issues with advanced delegation were preventing correct calculation of voting power calculations in certain scenarios. If approved and passed, voters with complex delegation scenarios would be able to see the correct calculations reflected.

Agora does not anticipate any downtime due to this upgrade.

Lisk Mainnet Launch

Lisk L2 is now on mainnet and officially joins the Superchain by contributing sequencer revenue towards the Optimism. “Lisk Devnet takes off as the first L1 to migrate to Optimism’s unifying network of rollups built with OP Stack”. The Superchain brings asset bridging without fragmentation, OP Collective Governance, access to Retro Funding, among other benefits to Lisk.

Ham Chain L3 Superchain ecosystem

Built using the OP Stack and Celestia on Base, Ham Chain provides users and developers with fast, low-cost transactions and a robust platform for creating novel onchain social experiences. It will now benefit from the Superchain’s extensive network, technologies, and shared resources.

Governance News & discussions

We’re in the Reflection Period: Candidate Week

Protocol Upgrade #9: Fjord Network Upgrade

Following Ecotone Network Upgrade, this upgrade proposal for OP Mainnet includes:

Implementation of Rollup Improvement Proposal 7212 (RIP-7212) which includes a new precompile for an elliptic Curve (secp256r1), widely used in devices such as Apple’s Secure Enclave or Webauthn. The introduction of this precompiled contract enables features in account abstraction which allows more efficient and flexible management of accounts by transaction signs in mobile devices. Read more about RIP-7212.
Introduces Brotli, a new compression algorithm, which would bring a 5-15% reduction in L1 data availability cost, resulting in cheaper transactions.
Introduces FastLZ, a compression algorithm. This implementation improves the estimation of the compressibility of each transaction, leading to more accurate pricing.

Parameter changes

Increasing the time in max sequencer drift, allowing for chain operators to have more time to respond to L1 node outage issues before the L2 chain stalls (30 minutes instead of 10 minutes).
Increasing the limit to 100mb of the channel, preventing the chance of a L2 block exceeding the current 10mb channel size and failing to post on L1 to progress the chain.

The proposal has received the required approvals and will move to a Token House vote on Special Voting Cycle #23b, from June 13th - June 20th.

Read the proposal and non-technical summary

Upcoming Election Town Halls

Protocol Upgrade #7 and #8 and Governor Upgrade #2 were approved

Proposals have been officially approved following the conclusion of the Citizens House veto vote.

L1 contracts will be upgraded to include Fault Proofs (Protocol Upgrade #7) and Guardian, Security Council Threshold and L2 ProxyAdmin Ownership (Protocol Upgrade #8). No action is required by node operators, as this change affects contracts only. The Optimism Foundation admin will set the new implementation of governor proxy to implement Governor Upgrade #2.

Chain Delegation Program Amendment Proposal

This proposal aims to amend the Chain Delegation Program increasing its size to 20M OP to support the first 15 OP Chains during their initial year of governance participation. Eligibility and performance will be reassessed at the start of each season.

OP Chains can qualify for:

250k OP delegation by generating over 1 ETH in sequencer revenue for at least two consecutive months and being listed in the Superchain Registry.
Additional 1M OP delegation if they achieve a transaction volume of at least 1M per month for two consecutive months.
Chains operating on the Standard Configuration can receive 500k OP, meaning a combined total of 1.5M delegation for these chains.

Chains must opt-in and commit to specific governance responsibilities to be added to the program. Read the full Amendment.

Anticapture Commission Amendment Proposal

The ACC aims to prevent the capture of the Token House by any single stakeholder group. Based on member feedback, amendments to the Commission Charter have been proposed to refine its mandate and goals. These include alerting the Citizens’ House to power imbalances, voting on proposals subject to veto. Membership criteria has also been updated, requiring high impact delegates with significant voting participation, and excluding Council Leads.

Amendment proposals will be voted on during Special Voting Cycle #23b (June 13th - June 20th).

Fault Proofs are live

After the implementation of Protocol Upgrade #7, open source, permissionless fault proofs are live on OP Mainnet. The OP Stack arrives at Stage 1 decentralization!

The system brings an improved trust model: “it enables users to withdraw ETH and ERC-20 tokens from L2 to L1 without the need to involve any trusted third party like the sequencer or any other centralized infrastructure.” To ensure a safe rollout, the Security Council retains the ability to intervene during failures in the Fault Proof System or manual upgrades. Soon more OP Stack Chains will upgrade to include fault proofs, starting with Base, Metal, Mode, and Zora.

New Code Of Conduct Council Budget Proposal

After the last budget proposal with a proposed amount of 55.000 OP was defeated. @juankbell proposes a second budget for consideration. This budget outlines 5 council members (receiving 4.000 OP each) and a Council Lead (receiving 6.000 OP), resulting in a total budget of 26.000 OP. Overall, this proposal outlines 1 subcommittee without the subgroup of SupportNERDs assisting the activities of the Council and its operation budget is 29.000 OP lower than the one defeated on cycle 23a.

The Code of Conduct Council will only oversee the Rules of Engagement. Members will process CoC related reports, publish a summary of enforcement decisions, facilitate and participate in discussions of CoC topics and participate in organizing and managing internal work. The lead has the additional responsibilities of acting as a tiebreaker if needed, stewarding the team, while communicating with the Optimism Foundation, and other commissions.

Retro Funding 4: Ratification of profit formula

A deliberative process was conducted to come to consensus on a definition of profit, to be applied to this retro round. Randomly selected badgeholders deliberated in three sessions and reached consensus on an applicable formula:

Impact - ((10% * Token House Growth Grants) + (45% * Token House Builders Grants) + (25% * Foundation Grants)) = Award in OP

The consensus is that the formula will only take into account Optimism Grants, deducting from impact previous growth, builder and foundation grants, resulting in a project’s reward. Ratification requires a quorum of 30% eligible voters and a simple majority of 51% votes. If it is not ratified, no profit formula will be applied, focusing only on impact.

Ratification voting will take place on Snapshot from June 20 to 26th.
Retro Funding 4 voting will begin on June 27th.

Retro Funding 5 Announcement

Retro Funding 5 will allocate 8M OP to reward the impact of OP Stack contributors across 3 main categories:

Ethereum Core Contributors,
OP Stack research & Development,
OP Stack Tooling.

This round rewards contributions between October 2023 - August 2024.

Retro Funding 5 will experiment in voting by creating groups according to expertise. Expertise will be measured through their GitHub activity relating to the OP Stack.

The round will include random sampling of existing badgeholders and a selection of one-time-guest voters with expertise. Voters will then be arranged into three groups: badgeholders with expertise, without expertise and guest voters. This design allows the observation of differences in voting patterns between experts and non-experts in allocating rewards for OP Stack contributions.
