Anticapture Commission
The Anticapture Commission exists to prevent capture of the Token House by any one stakeholder or group of stakeholders. Composed of high-impact individual delegates, it alerts the Citizens’ House when concerns arise over imbalances in power between groups of stakeholders. The Anticapture Commission uses 10M OP in delegation from the Governance Fund to vote on all proposals subject to a Citizens’ House veto. Learn more

Citizens hold veto power over protocol upgrades and will be responsible for additional governance decisions over time. Learn more
Collective Feedback Commission
The Collective Feedback Commission is an experimental program with the goal of facilitating collaboration between the Foundation and high-context contributors on governance system design. The goal is to develop a “Core Governance Program” that will allow the Collective to take on metagovernance responsibilities in the future. The commission is comprised of highly engaged Citizens and Delegates who were invited to participate based on their demonstrated contribution and expertise in a relevant domain, verifiable via attestations issued by the Foundation.

OP Stack Proximity Ranking
This experimental ranking evaluates GitHub developers and repos based on their proximity to OP Stack repos. Using GitHub event data and a bipartite trust graph, it applies variations of EigenTrust and Hubs & Authorities algorithms. Trust is built from user actions (e.g., stars, forks) and contributions (e.g., PRs merged). Scores are derived from over 30,000 repos and 2,000 organizations. The OP Stack Proximity Ranking was developed in collaboration with OpenRank and Open Source Observer. See OpenRank docs
