Unofficial HQ for everything Optimism and the Superchain Ecosystem.

To evaluate proposals, the Budget Board is using a Risk Adjusted Return Framework, a scoring model that measures how much benefit each proposal brings relative to its risk.

The idea is to reward protocols that deliver real yield and ecosystem value without exposing the Collective to unnecessary risk.

The goal of this initiative is clear:

• Generate sustainable yield for the Collective
• Deepen liquidity and capital efficiency on OP Mainnet
• Strengthen onchain activity across the Superchain

The Optimism Collective holds ~21.5K ETH.

• 5.4K ETH stays in reserves
• 9.6K ETH for Institutional Staking on Mainnet 
• 6.4K ETH for Liquid Staking on OP Mainnet 

The RFP invites protocols to submit their plans for how the 6.4K ETH will be deployed
