Who are the current Grant Council nominees and where do decisions take place?

Hi @0xR! I’m glad you found the information useful.

@0xR

The funds/resources that the grant council and its sub-committees govern are they associated with/ part of the Optimism Foundation’s budget? Linking an OP Foundation forum post as a reference. If so, which ones are overseen by the council?

These funds are associated with the Governance Fund, and the amounts were approved through Token House voting. You can find the proposal and the voting results linked here.

@0xR

Within the OP Foundation Mid-Year budget update I see various budget categories (Governance Fund, Partner Fund + Seed Fund + Unallocated) does the council and its sub-committees govern over any of these particular funds?

The Grants Council now processes all Delegate Mission Applications (including Builder and Growth Grants) which fall under the Governance Fund.
You can find more information about Governance Fund here.

@0xR

Coming from the DAO, Multi-sig web3 world I was wondering if these funds are in a set of on-chain treasuries? if so, where could I find these?

You can find the answer here:

Today, treasury allocations are administered by the Foundation, and will gradually move onchain as the governance system matures and becomes more resilient.

This transition is further discussed here. Particularly interesting for you might be the section on on-chain treasury execution:

@bobby

Onchain treasury execution
In Season 6, parts of the Optimism Treasury will move onchain. This means governance will be able to initiate transactions that move tokens from the OP Token Treasury entirely onchain. As noted above, this onchain execution will begin with an emergency safeguard that will be removed in future seasons.

I hope this addresses your queries. Have a fantastic Friday!
