  • Upcoming Proposals:
    • Upcoming cycles will feature proposals to move the GovFund on-chain, allowing intent budgets to be transferred to the Grants Council or relevant managers. Agora will post a draft to support that.
    • There will be a post clarifying how the superchain registry, blockspace charters, log chains, and interop fit together, and their timelines.
    • On-chain execution and Blockspace Charter ratification will happen before the end of Season 6, with enough information provided for voting.
  • Retro Funding 6: Guest Voter Participation with Emily:
    • Currently there are two cohorts of voters that were selected with a specific selection method: Citizens that were selected via Web of Trust and Round 5 Guest Voters that were selected via Proof of Work.
    • In Retro Funding 6, 100 randomly selected guest voters will be introduced, forming a control group. These voters will need to complete a survey to participate.
    • Stakeholders across the collective will blind vote on resource allocations to determine which group’s decisions are better, without knowing which group made the decision.
    • The goal is to understand if specific selection mechanisms, such as web of trust or proof of work, produce different outcomes than random selection.
    • There will be a mentorship program in Round 6, but due to scaling limitations, only half of the guest voters will receive onboarding to test its effectiveness.
    • Citizens will have a fail-safe option in Round 6 to reduce the voting power of guest voters if any signs of collusion are detected.
  • Impact Metrics Garden:
    • The project collects standardized qualitative data from core OP Stack developers, delegates, and users through on-chain reviews.
    • Reviews focus on how users would feel if the contribution didn’t exist, offering valuable insights to badge holders for making funding allocation decisions.
    • Impact Garden is not officially part of the rounds but serves as an additional tool for evaluating and showcasing contributions within the Optimism ecosystem.
    • metricsgarden.xyz
