Chain Delegation Program Amendment

The Chain Delegation Program was approved through the end of Season 6 but was not utilized in Season 5 due to extended timelines and the evolving Superchain strategy. It is still expected to be useful for onboarding the next ~15 OP Chains. This amendment refines the proposal to better support the Superchain strategy.

Eligible OP Chains can receive up to 1.5M OP based on specific criteria. The proposed amendments would increase the program size to 20M OP, to support the first ~15 OP Chains, and extend the timeline to a rolling basis until all 15 Chains have completed their first year of participation.

This proposal is eligible for Special Voting Cycle #23b: https://gov.optimism.io/t/season-6-chain-delegation-program-amendment/8125

If not approved, the program will will continue to receive the original 10M OP delegated from the Governance Fund and will terminate at the end of Season 6..

This program was not utilized in Season 5, so we don’t see a need for expansion. We also don’t want a large number of new Superchain members to be able to dominate governance decisions on expenditures when they may have varying amount of skin in the game for Optimism mainnet’s success.

Given our current context, this program seems appropriate.

With the new intent featuring the Superchain strategy and considering the proper participation from the participating chains is necessary for the appropriate "collective" governance, we believe the amendment and the expansion of it are appropriate.
