Governance

The Obol Collective is governed by individuals and organisations that contribute to the security & decentralisation of Ethereum's settlement layer, allocating resources across the Collective to maximise impact.

governance goals

Resource Allocation

Governance should allocate the token treasury and protocol revenue to effectively support the Collective’s vision and grow its sustainable value.

Capture Resistance

Governance plays a key role in securing the long term anti-capture and censorship resistance of the Obol Collective.

Responsible Administration

Responsible Admin

The Obol Association stewards funding in line with the Collective’s mission, gradually transfering governance roles to the Obol Collective.

The Obol Token House

The Obol Token House is one of the two houses of governance of the Obol Collective. Governance proposals are submitted, deliberated on, and voted on within the community forum and governance portal. Proposals include topics such as protocol upgrades, token inflation adjustment, and work agreements. Voting is token-weighted, with token holders delegating their voting power to their own address, or to Delegates.

Weeks 1-2

1-2

Proposal Submission

Anyone may draft a proposal and provide feedback on proposals in the forum.

Feedback & Approval

Feedback is provided by the community at large, and at least four top-100 delegates provide approval to move on to voting.

Weeks 1-2

Week 3

Voting

The proposal is approved if the approval threshold and quorum are met.

Obol Retroactive Funding

Maintaining a distributed validator (DV) ecosystem requires more than just technology.  Obol’s Retroactive Funding (RAF) mechanism exists to reward projects which strengthen and promote the decentralisation of Ethereum's settlement layer.

Any Obol Collective project can make an application, with OBOL token Delegates determining how funds from the RAF are allocated.

Higher adoption of DVs

More DVs grow Obol Collective

Projects put funding to use

More funding for the RAF

Retroactive Public Goods Funding is an important mechanism for ensuring that public goods are well financed and maintained. We’re happy Obol will use EasyRetroPGF and we support Obol’s mission to develop a sustainable funding model for Ethereum.”
