Accelerated Decentralization Proposal For Optimism
by katie - No Role
Posted on: Sept. 19, 2024, 5:41 p.m.
Content: I want to preface my statements by saying that I appreciate the work put into this proposal and the dialogue and engagement it has prompted. However, I do not agree with this proposal and will not be singing the petition.
I have the benefit of being on the other side of governance and working at a Foundation that eventually dissolved and fully decentralized the protocol. OP Labs and Foundation are private companies and it’s unrealistic to think that we, as community members, will ever have a complete view of everything that’s happening behind the scenes. These teams have actually been extremely transparent in their plans, but it’s impossible for them to share every detail because we are not employees.
I also have the benefit of being involved in governance since day one and witnessing the monumental changes in our governance structures. The Foundation has not given us any reason to believe that they will not decentralize, when they have already shipped the Security Council, fraud proofs, Citizen’s House veto, etc. Decentralization takes time and Optimism is still in it’s infancy with only 2 years of governance under our belts.
Decentralizing too quickly would be catastrophic, especially when DAO governance itself is brand new and there aren’t really any examples of any DAOs doing this right imo. I would encourage everyone to slow down and reflect on how far we have already come.

- Oxytocin: Glad to see such detailed debate on this important topic, both from GFX labs as well as the response from the Foundation. I have signed the petition , less so because of the original roadmap (as it has already been discussed), but to signal the importance of progressive decentralization.
I look forward to seeing the planned transitions to OP badgeholders by the end of Season 6, but wanted to ask a question regarding one part of the reply:
system:
In regards to the ability for delegates to submit proposals for a vote, we don’t believe it is safe to put the entire Governance Fund onchain with permissionless proposal rights while the cost of governance attack is currently lower than the value of the Governance Fund.
In addition to the other safeguards mentioned by @GFXlabs , isn’t one of the roles of the Anti-capture Commission to mitigate this risk? With their voting supply + quorum requirements , I can see most potential attacks having to undergo countermeasures that are a lot more robust than in other DAOs. I understand that perhaps it’s still not considered a developed enough commission to defend something of as high value as the Governance Fund, but I feel it’s still worth considering
Gonna.eth:
The Treasury Council could start by handling grants approved by the Grants Council. In line with the Foundation’s example, I believe the Grants Council is gaining too much power, and decentralizing oversight would allow both the Treasury Council and the Grants Council to oversee and check each other, fostering a more balanced governance structure.
Just to share an opposing view, is this not being done already by Token Delegates through their budget votes? I’m curious to hear more about what you have in mind, but right now it feels like the Treasury Council would serve little purpose other than to stand between the Token House and Grants Council.

The final thing I wanted to share regarding this discussion comes from a very important summary from @katie . This is more of an observation than something that can be done in an actionable manner, but I feel that part of the reason people might feel Optimism isn’t decentralizing isn’t because there’s no efforts, but because the steps are being made on much larger time frames compared to other Onchain organizations.
This is something that the Foundation is clearly doing deliberately (see the comments on ETH treasury spending), and I feel future Seasons communications could start emphasising on this more. We already have Themes each season, but I feel is important to also start summarizing the learnings and advancements of each Season, to show how progress is being made.

- maxwell: Hey @katie ! Councils apply as a group.
All councils/boards/commissions are required to submit one application as a group, individual participation within one of the groups is not eligible.
The allocation of rewards among group members should be proposed by the team Lead and is subject to the consensus mechanism of that group outlined in their internal operating procedures
