We are looking to contribute to Optimism governance by creating a governance committee under the address poolcollective.eth.
Furthermore we are suggesting to activate and delegate the earned $OP held by the PoolTogether treasury to our multi-sig.
Abstract
Collective of poolers will actively participate in Optimism token house governance
Voting happens through poolcollective 2/3 multi-sig
Delegate voting power of treasury $OP to poolcollective.eth
the $OP earned by the protocol
not the OP incentives received from Optimism Foundation
The committee will release a report for every voting cycle on Optimism governance for full transparency.
Motivation
The main motivations for this experiment are to:
Signal PoolTogether’s dedication to the broader Optimism ecosystem
Capture otherwise possibly lost voting power from the community and treasury $OP and therefore contribute to the health of OP governance and the Optimistic vision
Learn from the process of meta governance and apply learnings to PoolTogether
So far the committee consists of three members. If other Poolers are interested in joining us in achieving the optimistic vision driven by PoolTogether’s values, please voice your interest here or reach out to me via Discord.
I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this!

Edit:
Off-chain Snapshot vote is up!
Polygon POOL & Polygon pPOOL is eligible to vote!
In addition to the outstanding members listed above, I’d like to nominate @tim to be on this committee. If he is interested, I think having someone as connected to everything defi as he is, in conjunction with the three members listed above, would make a great team.
Happy new year, my optimistic poolers!
I haven’t posted an update to this thread in a while, so it’s time to get back up to speed!
Update from the PoolCollective
We are eligible for a six-month delegation boost from the Optimism Governance Fund and we’ve decided to use it! We have opted in for the Protocol Delegation Program.
Currently, we have 78.7k $OP delegated to us. The protocol delegation program will increase this number drastically. I will update this thread once it is live!
Voting Cycle #9b — for Grants Council Reviewers and protocol delegations — will take place from January 12, 2023 7:00 pm GMT to January 18 7:00 pm GMT.
Season 3 starts with Voting Cycle #10 on January 26th
The Snapshot of your (delegated) OP will take place on January 12 and January 26, ahead of the voting cycles. Make sure your OP is where you want it to be.
Season 3 Information
What’s happening in Token House Season 3? Lavande summarized it for us on the Optimism gov forum:
If you like what we are doing and are not planning to actively participate in Optimism governance, yo can delegate your $OP tokens to the PoolCollective.
Season 3 begins with Voting Cycle #10 on January 26th.
For season 3, governance moves to on-chain voting. The Operating Manual will be updated to reflect the new structure for season 3 shortly.
As previously announced, PoolTogether qualified for the Protocol Delegation Program based on gas fees generated by the protocol during season 2. You can learn more about the Protocol Delegation Program here.
During Season 3 & 4 our PoolCollective will vote with an additional 244.5k OP.
RetroPGF (Retroactive Public Goods Funding) round 2 will distribute 10 million OP tokens to public goods that support the development and usage of the OP Stack.
During this window, anyone can nominate a project or person for funding. Nominations are open from Jan 17 to Jan 31. You can read about the process here. The nominations take place in the Optimism governance forum.
