Experimenting with Deliberative Processes in the Collective
Optimism plans to conduct an experiment with a deliberative process during Retro Funding 4 in 2024. The goal is to test if participation in a deliberative process can increase agreement on contentious topics and enhance satisfaction and clarity in the governance system. Deliberative processes involve informed, structured discussions progressing towards collective judgments by recruiting a representative group of participants. This method aims to reduce the impact of power structures in decision-making. By involving a subset of voters for deliberation and incorporating their output into the voting mechanism, Optimism seeks to foster informed decision-making, social cohesion, neutral consensus, and increase buy-in from participants. The process will be facilitated by specialized teams, and the results will be shared with the broader community for transparency and trust-building.

Introducing Backstop Grants
The Optimism Collective is exploring Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) to support the development and maintenance of the Superchain and Collective. They are currently trying out "backstop grants" as a tactic to encourage full-time participation while transitioning towards Retro Funding. Backstop grants provide additional tokens to teams if they receive less from Retro Funding than the specified grant value but do not give extra tokens if more funds are received. The selection criteria prioritize full-time teams working on critical infrastructure. The goal is to move towards reliable Retro Funding rounds as the main source of support, with backstop grants serving as a temporary de-risk mechanism. The success of the program depends on more team commitments and successful Retro Funding for teams with backstop grants.

Enhancing RetroPGF with Optimism Fractal
RetroPGF, a mechanism rewarding public goods creators, faces challenges due to the increasing number of projects up for review by badgeholders. The Optimism Fractal community proposes a solution through the Respect Game, a weekly meeting where community members determine the value of contributions. Integrating Optimism Fractal with RetroPGF could provide evidence of community value for projects, prioritize projects based on Respect distribution, and even require a minimum Respect for project eligibility. By decoupling recognition (from Optimism Fractal) and financial rewards (from RetroPGF), the process could become more manageable and fair for all involved. Ultimately, the collaboration presents various ways to address the issue of managing the growing number of projects for review within RetroPGF.

Concerns of double reporting from Filosofia Codigo and Randomness Ceremony applications in RPGF3
The post outlines concerns about two applicants, Filosofia Codigo 3 and Randomness Ceremony 6, both reporting the same meetups organized by Ethereum San Pedro Sula as individual impact for grants.

The concern is raised whether these claims should have been consolidated under one application for Ethereum San Pedro Sula to avoid potential issues of double-counting. The post also questions the legitimacy of individuals applying for grants based on their participation in community events, highlighting the need for clarity on impact attribution and the relationship between separate applications and community events.

Incentive Impact Analysis: Stargate
The post discusses the analysis of Stargate Finance's utilization of granted OP tokens from the OP Mainnet. Stargate Finance serves as a bridge protocol for transferring tokens between blockchains, helping in the expansion of Layer 2 networks. The OP grant funds distribution included liquidity mining programs and rewards for qualified partners. The activation of OP liquidity mining rewards led to a significant increase in bridge volume on OP Mainnet. Some OP tokens were allocated to partner projects, but the impact of these integrations is still to be evaluated. The conclusion suggests it may be premature to assess the overall impact of OP incentives on Stargate and OP Mainnet, indicating the need for further analysis.

[Final] Inflation Adjustment Proposal (to 0%)
The proposal suggests setting the inflation rate of $OP's total token supply to 0%, keeping the total supply at 4,294,967,296 OP. The motivation behind this decision stems from the anticipated circulation of only about 8% of the total supply, leading to an unnecessary 2% inflation rate. The proposal aims to ensure a more balanced token distribution and calls for a data-driven approach in managing $OP's tokenomics. If the proposal is approved, there will be no inflation, but if not, a 2% inflation rate will be implemented. This change will primarily impact the unallocated portion of the token treasury and is not expected to have a significant effect in the short term unless specific fund categories require additional tokens in the future.

By reducing the cost and friction involved in connecting tokens to marketplaces like Rarible, the proposal seeks to enhance adoption, offer a competitive edge, improve user experience, and reduce network effect dominance. This innovative function would also promote efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility, positioning Rarible as a pioneering platform in the NFT space. The proposal includes a budget of $33,000 in RARI tokens and a detailed timeline for development and implementation, with Rito Rhymes offering to create educational raps to promote awareness and understanding. The team welcomes questions and feedback in weekly community calls led by William Entriken.

Gonna.eth (Dhannte) - Delegate Communication Thread
Initial guidelines for the last 5 cycles included incentivizing protocol usage, grants, 3rd party developer incentives, and retroactive allocations for early adopters, while discouraging bridging incentives and paying for full project development. However, it was observed that many "incentives" were liquidity programs and financial tools for farming OP$, offering limited real value. For Cycle 6, the focus shifted to incentivizing Optimism usage, funding through the Optimism partnership program, non-financial ideas and tooling, open source projects (except with DeFi committee C approval), and approved DeFi projects by committee C. Closed source projects, paying for full project development, and ghost teams/projects with no deployment were discouraged.

Introducing MitiCushqui, a Decentralized Monetary authority protocol for Optimism
MitiCushqui is a protocol that issues stablecoins using a volatile member token and a stablecoin asset at a protocol-determined ratio. The stablecoin, $M, is minted by depositing vBTC and USDC at a ratio of 20:80 and can be redeemed for 1 USDC. The project aims to become BTC-backed while building reserves for redemptions. Treasury reserve yields will be paid to $M holders, making it a stable store of wealth. Plans include expanding to further stablecoins using different collaterals and member tokens. The project is seeking integration with the Optimism Network and various collaborations to enhance its stablecoin offering.

Fund ApeCoin community operations through loans on Fringe Finance
The proposal suggests funding ApeCoin community operations through loans on the Fringe Finance platform. Fringe Finance has integrated ApeCoin as a collateral asset, allowing the DAO to access up to $1,785,186 in USDC loans without the need to sell ApeCoin tokens. The motivation behind this approach includes reducing selling pressure, showcasing the DAO's commitment, and benefiting from a trusted stablecoin like USDC. Fringe Finance's platform benefits borrowers and lenders by providing access to deep and stable capital pools. The specifications outline the loan-to-value ratio, borrowing interest rate, and borrowing limit for ApeCoin. The steps to implement involve depositing ApeCoin tokens, issuing USD-denominated credit tokens, and transferring the USDC loan to the ApeCoin treasury.

Perpetual Protocol: Optimism Governance’s First Failure
Perpetual Protocol was granted 9,000,000 OP tokens worth $6.5 million in a Phase 0 Grant, which was approved through a batch vote without thorough due diligence. The grant came after Perpetual Protocol v1 collapsed, resulting in a loss of $44.6 million. Concerns were raised about the protocol market selling tokens and transferring funds out of the Optimism ecosystem. Additionally, a significant portion of airdropped tokens ended up in team wallets and were promptly sold for stablecoins. This raised questions about the transparency and accountability of the grant process and distribution of tokens.

[DRAFT] [GF: META] Proposal to reserve a share of GF distribution for liquidity backstopping and stronger governance
Velodrome received a grant from OP Labs and has been analyzing the governance proposals related to grants in the Optimism Collective.

The idea involves using some distributed tokens for liquidity pairing rather than direct distribution, aiming to reduce sell pressure and increase the value of OP tokens. They suggest that this approach would provide benefits to protocols while also adding value to the Optimism Collective. Additionally, Velodrome envisions a scenario where the Collective gains governance power over partner protocols, enhancing metagovernance possibilities and fostering collaboration. They call for a communal ownership of liquidity, emphasizing the importance of public goods funding within the community.

Only about 12% of the circulating supply participated in the last round of voting for proposals on Optimism Collective. Currently, a single delegate holds significant power to influence governance decisions.

Incentivizing effort from governance participants with retroactive rewards for good decisions
The post discusses a common issue faced by DAOs where low participation in governance votes leads to poor outcomes. The use of POAP rewards to incentivize voting has led to the concern that some participants are more interested in collecting rewards without making informed decisions. The post proposes a solution of retroactive public goods funding for voting in DAOs, where only voters who make beneficial choices are rewarded, aiming to encourage thoughtful decision-making. The important challenge lies in evaluating the outcome of decisions objectively. Possible ways to address this include requiring proposal writers to set evaluation metrics or having a separate group evaluate outcomes.

Economic sustainability ideas for $OP
The post discusses a strategy for making $OP economically sustainable, emphasizing elegance, simplicity, and minimal friction. It proposes revenue generation through a MEVA/PBS-like setup, where builders bid in ETH, and revenue is used for treasury funding or buying back and burning OP tokens. Governance would determine the proportion and adjust it based on market conditions. Issuance would be dynamic based on earned revenues, potentially ramping up issuance through governance votes or automation. Staking rewards are considered but simplicity is prioritized, focusing on direct value accrual to OP token through buyback-and-burn. With EIP-4844, L1 fees and sequencer costs are expected to be low on the platform, and the post suggests that $OP could become an economically sustainable token in the market.
