Optimism Proposal for Treasure DAO

Optimism extends a strategic invitation to Treasure, proposing a partnership where Treasure joins the Optimism Superchain. The proposal centres around building the Treasure Chain on the open-source OP Stack.

This move is not just a technical integration but a strategic alignment with Treasure's vision of decentralised, community-driven gaming. This partnership aims to bring Treasure's vision of a decentralised gaming ecosystem to a global audience, leveraging Optimism's Ethereum-aligned principles.

The technical benefits for Treasure in this partnership are significant. By building on the OP Stack, Treasure can scale its operations to reach a wider audience, crucial for its aim to become a decentralised gaming powerhouse.

Furthermore, the proposal outlines substantial support and governance involvement for Treasure. By joining the Superchain, Treasure will not only benefit from the technical support for seamless deployment and maintenance but will also play an active role in Optimism's governance.

Lastly, the proposal includes attractive funding opportunities for Treasure. These include eligibility for Foundation Grants aimed at supporting the migration and growth of the Treasure ecosystem.
