Optimism redirects 546.9M OP from airdrops to ecosystem fund

Ethereum layer-two project Optimism has approved a proposal to redirect 546.9 million OP previously allocated for user airdrops to an ecosystem fund managed by the foundation, CoinDesk reported. The tokens account for 12.7% of total OP supply, and the foundation plans to use them for partnerships and incentives tied to the OP mainnet and its enterprise product suite, 'OP Enterprise.' In the vote, Test in Prod, a core development team backed by Optimism, cast 8.486 million OP in favor around 17 minutes before voting ended, swinging support to 61.84% from 45.77%. Without Test in Prod's votes, support would have stood at 46.47%, leaving the proposal short of approval.
