I am an Obol Delegate with sufficient voting power, and I believe this proposal is ready to move to a vote.
While I support this moving to a vote, I want to share my current perspective for the community’s consideration. I concede the point that the initial communication efforts may have been lacking, likely contributing to the high number of unclaimed tokens. However, despite this shortcoming, my primary reservations stem from the allocation of resources and the precedent it would set. This proposal would divert valuable Obol team’s developer bandwidth away from core protocol priorities toward a retroactive administrative task. Instead of focusing on a past distribution, the significant pool of unclaimed tokens should be viewed as a strategic asset that can be redeployed to drive future growth, such as through new grants or other ecosystem initiatives that would provide a greater long-term benefit to all participants.
