I spoke about this briefly in the Discord. I'm adding it here as we need to make a decision and not leave our DAO treasury in limbo in a multisig. For reference, we haven't bridged our DAO funds to Optimism due to delays around Optimism's bridge. I wanted to give it until the end of September.. and here we are.
At this point, I want to propose we move our DAO to Arbitrum which is still an optimistic rollup as we voted on. The issue is we can’t use a multisig to bridge liquidity because Gnosis doesn’t support Optimism or visa versa but Arbitrum does. So I am proposing we put our DAO on Arbitrum.
Further, I don’t think we have gotten enough support or love from the delegates (which was a major factor in us looking to move to Optimism over Arbitrum for the DAO function) to honor being native to any rollup and at this point I think we are better optimizing for the best tech for every unique function. One function being the products and the other function being governance.
This also shouldn't be read as a knock on Optimism. I very much support their team and ecosystem and I want to grow in conjunction with them.
Further, this doesn't exclude that we work with Optimism. I think we still launch our main product, SMART Yield V2 to Optimism AS WELL AS Arbitrum.
