Perpetual Protocol: Optimism Governance's First Failure

[raho]

Hello, I have a quick question… From the original GF proposal it was stated:

@tongnk

We aim to match all of the incentives on a 1:1 basis. As this is expected to be a large amount of the tokens that have been unlocked by governance, this aligns interests of both parties to grow Optimism

This implies that OP funding for grants that has been distributed already should have been matched 1:1 with PERP.

@tongnk

As per the outline this was distributed to the grants DAO. What they do with the funding is up to them but all projects that are funded via this mechanism is for the benefit of OP. How they manage funds is up to them and at their discretion

To me, it sounds like whatever OP is used, will be matched with PERP…Which excludes any previous funding the grants program may have received in PERP, as the 1:1 matching is not retroactive (otherwise, any protocol could claim that they have matched liquidity incentives, or other funding, in the past). Am I misunderstanding something here?
