[Key Vote by Optimism Core Development Team Reverses Outcome, $49.7 Million OP Transferred from User Airdrop to Strategic Ecosystem Fund] BlockBeats News, August 20: The core development team funded by Optimism cast a decisive 8.486 million OP vote, which changed the outcome of the vote at the time. This vote approved a proposal to transfer approximately $49.7 million worth of OP tokens from the user airdrop allocation to a fund pool managed by the foundation. The proposal aims to redefine the use of 546.9 million OP tokens, accounting for 12.7% of the total OP supply. These tokens, originally allocated for user airdrops, have now been reassigned to the "Strategic Ecosystem Fund" managed by the Optimism Foundation, intended to support the adoption and development of the OP Mainnet and enterprise initiatives. The final voting results were 17.974 million OP in favor and 10.931 million OP against. With 16 minutes and 52 seconds remaining before the vote ended, a delegate named Test in Prod cast a whale-level vote of 8.486 million OP in favor, significantly raising the proposal's approval rate from 45.77% to 61.84%. Without this vote, the final approval rate would have been only 46.47%. In other words, while the proposal met the quorum requirement, it would not have passed originally, and the related funds would have remained in the user airdrop allocation. [Original Link]
