Charlie from the Agora team here, wanted to give everyone a quick update. Weāre really excited to be nearing the finish line to launch on-chain voting with Optimism.
In preparation for this move, we plan to put up a test proposal and would like to invite anyone in the community to test trial the voting experience and provide us with any feedback or bugs. We want to make sure all wallets are supported.
Look out for an announcement next week. In the meantime, please donāt hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I am #zcf9299 on Discord
All Token House votes will now occur on-chain. Proposals will continue to be routed to the Optimism Foundation for implementation.
A test vote has been implemented and will run until February 16th, ahead of voting for the Bedrock Protocol Upgrade. If you run into any issues during the test vote, let us know!
The Optimism Governance Portal will serve as our delegate registry. There is no need to submit delegate commitments on the forum anymore. If you submitted a commitment w/o an address, please re-register by connecting your wallet at: https://vote.optimism.io/ and following the template listed on the forum: Delegate Commitments
Over time, it will replace the Optimism delegate app as well.
Thanks again to Agora, an Optimism grant recipient, for making this a reality!
It will probably take us a few days before we have it up and running on Tally, but excited to see this!
For other voting platforms such as Tally, Boardroom, Sybil and others, will Optimism be making the Delegation statements public as well? Would be great to be able to display those too.
Congrats again to the transition to on-chain governance!
Waiting for this day since long time!
OP ecosystem is growing and for sure we will have all native toolings developed within our ecosystem without any 3rd party dependency.
I would recommand all community to go there and try your first vote on Agora, you will gonna love it.
I recently joined Optimism as a Delegate because of this news, onchain voting is more valuable to me than Snapshot voting.
Previous participations in governance and forums give me to my criteria to understand that this type of voting allows to be more realistic and increase the seriousness of the process.
If you would like to stop by and support a new delegate with some experience you can find my profile here.
This is the things that will take Optimism to the highest level. Voting is the fundamentally the most important problem to optimize and keep on improving.
Great work again team Optimism!
