Budget Board Advisory Proposal for the DAO Operating Budget for Seasons 8 and 9

The following is a proposal for the Collective to pass a DAO Operating Budget for Seasons 8 and 9. The proposal is informed by the Budget Board’s good faith review of historical information provided to the Collective. The Budget Board believes this budget reflects the Collective’s current operating scale and maturity. It is meant to enable execution, support growth-oriented initiatives, and reinforce the long-term need for efficiency.

Key points of the proposal:

• Proposes a DAO Operating Budget ceiling of 4,440,000 OP total for one year (Seasons 8-9)
• Represents approximately 25.8% of trailing twelve-month (TTM) Collective Revenue (June 2024 - May 2025) when converted for a 6-month TWAP ETH-OP conversion

Note also there is an additional request of 80,000 OP for the budget board to use for infrastructure, which is separate from and not included in the 4,440,000 OP operating budget ceiling. Additionally, the Budget Board presented any information or analysis “as is”.
