This proposal is a follow up from RFC-12 and aims to deploy vlPOP on Optimism such that POP holders on Optimism can participate in governance on snapshot with vlPOP.
Action steps:
Redeploy staking contract from Ethereum on to Optimism
Create front-end for staking
Allocate 10K POP rewards for an 8 week window
Motivation
Allow and incentivize POP holders on Optimism to vote
Please indicate if you approve or disapprove the proposal below.
Supportive of this assuming that there is a clear path for all OG POP holders currently staking on mainnet and Polygon so that Optimism staking and vlPOP options doesn’t undermine their Eth/Poly POP holdings.
Should “redeploy” be replicate instead?
This would mean that Optimism staking and vlPOP exists alongside Eth/Poly options - at least initially - instead of replacing Eth.
Recent Popcorn PIPs and articles have encouraged more active staking and governance activity via Eth/Poly vlPOP so this would give more certainty to existing holders that have vote-locked their POP and may be concerned about a shift to Optimism.
We will leave up Mainnet and Polygon staking until Optimism staking goes live and then make a decision on whether we close down Mainnet and Polygon staking.
Users can bridge POP on Mainnet and Polygon to Optimism using https://gateway.optimism.io/ to stake on popcorndao.finance.
