The Optimism Security Council (OPSC) is requesting 346,920 OP from the Governance Fund as retroactive compensation for Season 7.

During Season 7, the OPSC faced a significantly higher workload than anticipated when the original budget was approved.

• The OPSC is now signing for 5 OP Stack chains, in addition to OP Mainnet.
• In Season 7, the OPSC completed 19 upgrade ceremonies over a six-month period (vs. 6 in all of 2024).

The amount requested will be divided equally across all Season 7 signers (13) and the Lead (1), with each recipient receiving 24,780 OP for Season 7.

If approved, the amount requested will be distributed to Season 7 members of the Security Council, as soon as funds are made available.

This proposal is eligible for Voting Cycle #40: https://gov.optimism.io/t/voting-cycle-roundup-40
