[REVIEW] [GF: Phase 1, Voting Cycle 7] Overtime Markets

I’m voting For, against the committee recommendation on this one. I believe sports betting is an underexplored area for both crypto in general and Optimism in particular. Overtime has established some product-market fit, but it’s nowhere near enough so I hope to see much more aggressive market to normies outside of crypto. The timing is right with the greatest sporting event upcoming, which makes me lean on the side of For. However, I acknowledge that the committee’s concerns are very valid, and I’m obviously unimpressed by Thales’ (lack of) execution of the previous grant. This will be my final “benefit of doubt” vote for the community.
