We appreciate the effort behind the OpCo proposal, but we will vote **against** it. As other delegates have noted, OpCo introduces centralization risks by concentrating power and creating a potential gatekeeper, which conflicts with the DAO’s decentralized ethos. The proposed budget of 22M ARB is also significant, and while this is one potential solution, we would prefer to see an approach that better balances decentralization without granting excessive power to a single entity.
