Mission Intents Roundup
Intent 3 - ABSTAIN
Starting with the most obvious one, I abstained from Intent #3 as I am part of the Thank Optimism alliance. It’s been great working with them so far to figure out how to properly reward Ambassadors, and I look forward to seeing how we can help grow one of the backbones of the collective!
Intent 1
I have voted in favour of all of the missions. To summarise, these are the reasons I thought all of the proposed missions were suitable
- 4/6 missions requested only between 1 and 5% of the budget for potentially very exciting aims
- Spearbit and Immunefi might be requesting 100k OP, but it is for bug bounties.
- For Scry Protocol (the 2nd high-budget proposal), 70k is also gong for bounties and running infrastructure. The remaining 130k might be a lot personally, but due to the one - year lock reliant on the success of the mission I am less ocncerned than in other proposal types.
Intent 4
Intent 4 was the hardest to vote at for me. My final roundup was:
-
Proposal 4A: Multi-lingual Lesson on Optimism Governance, by Bankless Academy
-
Proposal 4B: The RetroPGF Podcast
-
Proposal 4C: Delegate Corner Podcast
-
Proposal 4I: Velodrome: Fostering Inclusive Governance through Leading Optimism Builders and Long-term Users
-
Proposal 4K: OP Governance Analytics Dashboard
-
Proposal 4L: OPdelegate.com
-
Proposal 4M: NumbaNERD Program
-
Proposal 4N: Facilitate and empower community members to actively engage in governance through an educational course
These, in my opinion, are the missions that align the most with the Intent of Governance Accessibility. From the Collective Intents:
Governance accessibility includes enbaling a diversity of perspectives to participate in governance, facilitating better knowledge sharing to develop more informed voters, and lowering barriers to participation for more culturally diverse involvement in the governance process. Increasing the votable supply and reducing the concentration of voting power should be important bi-products of improved accessibility.
There were other very exciting proposals, but I think that they relate to the above Intent only indirectly. This is not to say that I do not endorse those proposals, but simply that we need to ensure that missions adhere to the intents.
Finally, I have shared some feedback about Agora’s current vote lock feature, and how I believe this should feature needs to be re-explored.
