Thank You

A huge thank you is due to delegates and Citizens for their continued dedication to experimentation and iteration. Over the past three years, the Collective’s governance participants have helped establish, bootstrap, and continuously refine our governance system.

Season 7 Recap: Shared Success

Season 7 marked a pivotal moment for the Collective as all contributors aligned around a core pillar of our Superchain Product Vision: Interoperability. This Season, the Collective made significant progress towards our decentralization milestones, took major steps towards economic decision making with ETH Staking and the Budget Board, and experimented with futarchy as a new way to make predictions. Governance rewarded ~ 26M OP in incentives across the Superchain via Retro Funding and Grants Council missions. These are significant steps forward, which the Collective will build on in future Seasons

Qualifying Governance Participants

Consistent with other grants, all rewards will be subject to a KYC and claims flow process.

This round of retroactive governance participation rewards will be allocated from the “Unallocated” portion of the Ecosystem Fund and is therefore is not subject to governance approval.

In order to be eligible to receive your rewards the following form must be completed. The claiming window will be open until June 16, 2026

Claim Form

Upon completion of this form, the Foundation will be in touch via email. Please be sure to check your spam filter if you do not receive anything within 3 business days.

You can expect more details regarding KYC and/or claim instructions depending on your current KYC state within the Foundation.

Looking Forward

As we enter the next phase of governance, we aim to reduce the amount of time and effort required of governance participants.

This means we will no longer provide retroactive rewards for governance participation (voting.) High impact contributions - such as those that help the Collective build critical infrastructure (e.g. dependancy graphs, feedback on algorithms), run novel experiments (e.g. futarchy), or automate manual processes (e.g. grant processes) will continue to be rewarded.

We could not have arrived at the current stage of maturity without your contributions to date. However, in order to enter the next phase of governance maturity, we must incentivize new behaviors - the behaviors that will eventually enable us to reach the next phase of evolution.

Hi @op_julian,

Thank you for the detailed breakdown of the Season 7 governance rewards. For the sake of transparency and to help participants verify their eligibility, I have a few questions about the reward calculations:

  1. Token House (Top 100 Delegates):
  • What was the specific snapshot date and time used to determine the list of Top 100 Delegates?
  • How many total proposals were included in the calculation for the >70% voting participation rate?
  1. Citizen House:
  • How many total proposals were included for the participation calculations for “Active” Citizens?
  1. Partial Rewards:
  • It appears some delegates received an amount less than the full 6000 OP. Could you explain the calculation or criteria used for these partial rewards? For example, was it prorated based on the number of proposals voted on?

This clarification would be very helpful for the community.

Thanks!

This would indeed be helpful. In our case we only received 480 OP for voting, despite having voting in 26 out of 28 proposals (92.86%). We create a detailed document that shows our vote history here.

2. Citizen House:

  • Proposal scope: All proposals from both Citizens House snapshot space and RetroFunding snapshot space from November 21, 2024 - June 11, 2025, excluding optimistic approvals and test votes

3. Partial Rewards Calculation: Partial rewards were calculated using the updated methodology based on community feedback received last season, as detailed in this discussion.

Thanks for organizing the retro rewards for S7. It’s been a pleasure to contribute to the Optimism Collective through various activities.

One question; how do you plan to objectively measure those “high impact contributions” going forward? We’ve seen some challenges in evaluating members’ contributions in other DAOs (e.g. Arbitrum case) and are interested in how the Foundation is going to approach them differently.

Why were my ACC rewards removed? Here’s the participation tracker FYI:

Does a guest voter fall under the Collective Reward Framework in Season 7 ?

9

No, Guest Voters are not part of the reward framework

Hi @op_julian and the Optimism community,

Following up on our earlier questions and your helpful response, our team at Curia has completed an independent verification of the Season 7 Token House rewards calculation. We’re sharing our findings here in the spirit of transparency and to contribute to the ongoing refinement of our collective governance processes.

Our analysis identified a key difference in methodology for determining the “Top 100 Delegates” eligible for rewards during the Season 7 window (November 21, 2024 - June 11, 2025).

  • Current Result Calculation Methodology: The calculation was based on a snapshot of the Top 100 delegates only on when the proposal was uploaded. Since there are 25 proposals, there were only 25 days used for this criteria.

  • Curia’s Verification Methodology: Our interpretation was to analyze the Top 100 delegates on a daily basis throughout the entire 203-day period of Season 7.

This difference in interpretation led to a different set of results.

Comparison of Results

We have shared these findings with the Foundation and believe this analysis is valuable for the community’s awareness. Our goal is to contribute to the discussion and help refine the criteria for any future contribution rewards. Clear, specific, and universally understood methodologies are crucial for the health and transparency of the Collective.

Update: ACC Participation

Based on feedback from the ACC Lead, the Foundation has updated the rewards distribution to include additional addresses for ACC participation rewards.

Updated Criteria: Delegates are assigned 1 point for having voted in either Snapshot or Safe during a given voting cycle. No more than 1 point is assigned, even if the delegate voted through both mechanisms within the same voting cycle.

Newly Added Addresses: The following addresses have been updated to reflect that they will receive ACC participation rewards.

0x839395e20bbb182fa440d08f850e6c7a8f6f0780 0x6eda5acaff7f5964e1ecc3fd61c62570c186ca0c 0x7899d9b1181cbb427b0b1be0684c096c260f7474 0x75536cf4f01c2bfa528f5c74ddc1232db3af3ee5 0xc2490d220419acdced68428ac413c8483d08d1ab 0xe93d59cc0bcecfd4ac204827ef67c5266079e2b5 0x1b686ee8e31c5959d9f5bbd8122a58682788eead 0xf68d2bfcecd7895bba05a7451dd09a1749026454 0xd23199F1222C418ffC74c385171330B21B16e452

hi @op_julian I am still not sure the Partial Rewards Calculation, why my rewards is 3600 even though I maintained 100% voting participation?

14

I filled out the form a week ago but haven’t received any email (also not in my spam folder). Should I re-submit, or just wait?

Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @joanbp

I can confirm that your form was received – we are currently processing rewards. You can expect delivery during the second week of July.

Thanks

Hi @grapebaba

This season, we implemented a new weighting system where delegate rewards were calculated based on the amount of time delegates maintained their position within the top 100 throughout the reflection period and Season 7.

Based on our records, which you can review here, your delegate status fluctuated during this period and didn’t consistently remain within the top 100 ranking threshold.

Hi, @op_julian

I would like to inform you that I have been actively participating in the voting process as a Citizen. However, I’ve noticed that the attestation update does not seem to have been recorded or linked to my new wallet address.

As a result, I ended up with two addresses, each receiving a reward of 250.

This has been resolved via DM but just sharing here for visibility - changing badgeholder address mid-season shouldn’t have an impact on rewards and we’ll re-calculate and fix this.
