It’s crucial for all of us to remember that RPGF and optimism collective go hand in hand; they’re meant to support and complement each other, working together to foster the growth of Superchain. Without one, the other will cease to exist and when we evolve, we evolve together. While I do wish to support initiatives beyond public good, it’s evident from past 3 rounds that we can’t afford to distribute funds in a similar manner. I agree and support the changes proposed for upcoming season.
Besides retroactively rewarding, another goal for me is to measure the increase in chain and developer activities. Even after three rounds of RPGF and many round of DAO grants, other chains continue to surpass us in total value bridged from L1. This is onchain proof that a change was needed.
However, I believe renaming just to avoid discussion and confusion about what constitutes public good sets a bad precedent. Regardless of how it’s worded, I fail to see a clear vision behind such a significant change.
My other concern remains, and I hope it will be addressed in upcoming updates.
