Season 7: Chain Delegation Program Amendment

The Chain Delegation Program was introduced in Season 5, to help new OP Chains onboard and build their delegation in Optimism’s governance. While this program is approved through the first 15 Chains completing their temporary 12 months of delegation via the program, the Foundation would like to propose a small amendment to the Chain Delegation Program starting in Season 7.

This amendment seeks to align this program more closely with the Season 7 Intent: A set of Stage 1 chains doing $250M per month in cross-chain asset transfers.

The proposal suggests moving “satisfying the Standard Rollup Charter criteria,” to be the first criteria rather than the last. This would effectively mean the program is only applicable to OP Chains satisfying the Standard Rollup Charter criteria.

All other qualification criteria will remain unchanged (as previously approved).

This proposal is eligible for Special Voting Cycle #31b:

If the amendments are not approved, the Chain Delegation Program will continue, without any changes to the qualification criteria, as approved in the most recent proposal.
