Intents
Intent 4: Improve governance accessibility
Optimism Governance decides on protocol upgrades, allocates the token treasury, and stewards Collective profit. Optimism’s two-house system is designed to create healthy checks and balances and expand ownership to a diverse set of governance participants. For more on the scope and responsibilities of Optimism’s governance system, see the Future of Optimism Governance 4.
The Collective must prioritize accessibility in order to create governance structures that welcome a broad range of Optimists to participate. “Accessibility” includes enabling a diversity of perspectives to participate in governance, facilitating better knowledge sharing to develop more informed voters, and lowering barriers to participation for more culturally diverse involvement in the governance process. Increasing the votable supply and reducing the concentration of voting power are important byproducts of improved accessibility.
Collective Measurements
- Delegated supply of OP
- Average OP voted per governance proposal
