Last week, forum engagement decreased, with 11 new topics submitted, down from 25 the previous week. The most impactful discussions included:

  • [Mission Request] Decentralized Solvers and Aggregators on OP Mainnet / Superchain: This mission request seeks to incentivize the development of decentralized solvers and aggregators on Optimism Mainnet and the Superchain, focusing on projects like CowSwap, 1inch Fusion, and Pyth Express Relay. The proposal aims to drive growth and interoperability within the ecosystem by enhancing trading volume and successful integrations.
  • [Mission Request] - Experimentation of Infrastructure Subsidies: The post outlines a plan to experiment with subsidizing infrastructure providers on Optimism and the Superchain. The goal is to reduce barriers for developers, enhance application reliability, and encourage optimization. Success will be measured by the number of active addresses interacting with the subsidized contracts.
  • [Looking for Sponsor] Automated Grants System: This mission request proposes building an automated grants system on the Superchain to decentralize and streamline the grant application process, improving user experience and accelerating developer activity. Key metrics for success include the number of identities created and grants completed, as well as the total number of addresses voting for the first time.

These proposals highlight the community’s focus on enhancing infrastructure, supporting development on the Superchain, and making governance processes more efficient.
