The defi shadow committee – which is not an official committee – advises against voting for this proposal.
We’d need to see substantial changes before supporting this proposal. There is overreliance on supporting a native token without any clear benefit to users (including the gas fee subsidy, which is a subsidy for the protocol, not users), the product hasn’t achieved obvious product-market fit on Optimism or on other chains, and the asks are disproportionate to anticipated user growth or welfare on Optimism.
We understand that this has already gone through a round of revisions, and the Kromatika team have been more than flexible in following these revisions, but the guidance has in our opinion been ill-advised in the face of some unaddressed fundamental issues. We’d be happy to advise on an additional round of guidance if this proposal doesn’t pass.
