[Temp Check] Burn surplus RetroPGF (+ monetary policy proposals)
by max-andrew - No Role
Posted on: Jan. 15, 2024, 5:05 a.m.
Content: To deliver the Optimistic Vision and influence the economy as a whole, the Superchain needs to be the leading L 2 (likely by a wide margin). The Collective cannot control the rules and goals of non-OP chains. The current level of investment hasn’t gotten Optimism where it needs to be yet. An argument for contractionary policy doesn’t make sense to me. How are we measuring sustainability when the token is up 90 % this year?

Content: Could this also be taken as a signal that the market is willing to allow Optimism to do the game-changing level of investment that would allow it to take the top spot in the L 2 race? One could make the argument that the two problems at play here are actually search problems and large numbers. Optimism and others have a search problem identifying and recruiting the talent that can enable the Collective to more fully realize the Optimistic Vision Individuals — particularly young developers — are not necessarily trained capital allocators who would instinctively feel comfortable signing off on the amounts that are both required and afforded to them by the markets Related to the point @Milo made, burning OP is the equivalent of Amazon throwing their hands up and saying “we have no more ideas, we’re pivoting our company to stock buybacks and dividends rather than R&D investment.”

[FINAL] Superchain Governance Deep Dive
by max-andrew - No Role
Posted on: June 26, 2023, 3:37 p.m.
Content: Echoing @polynya that chains may have different goals as it relates to their governance, exploring decentralization on a technical level will enable more flexibility and set up the Superchain to be more successful and robust. The team is more than qualified to accomplish this as well. I am an Optimism delegate 4 with sufficient voting power and believe this proposal is ready to move to a vote.

Content: In response to the counterpoint that the Citizens’ House solves this, I don’t think the system can reach the level of democratic decision-making Optimism aspires to as long as the Token House can even partly control core protocol decisions. More documentation around the governance structure is expected soon though so I will wait for that to provide more grounded feedback and suggestions.
