Optimism Governance Vote Sparks Controversy: 5.469 Million OP Tokens Transferred from User Airdrops to the Ecosystem Fund
2026-08-20 20:08:50
According to CoinMeta, a governance proposal from the Optimism community was approved, which involved reassigning 546.9 million OP tokens that were originally planned for a user airdrop to the “Strategic Ecology Fund” managed by Optimism Foundation. The OP tokens involved in this proposal account for approximately 12.7% of the total supply, and are valued at around $49.7 million at current prices. The vote was ultimately passed with 17.974 million OP votes in favor and 10.931 million OP votes against it. A key turning point occurred 16 minutes and 52 seconds before the end of the vote, when 8.486 million supporting votes cast by the core development team of the Optimism ecosystem, consisting of test, in, and prod, increased the majority from 45.77% to 61.84%. If that vote were excluded, the proposal would not have been passed as it would only have had a support rate of 46.47%. This vote sparked discussions about the influence of “large-scale delegated voting rights” in the governance of DAO and the balance of rights for token holders.
