# Developer Advisory Board Budget
AI summary
This proposal seeks to establish a Developer Advisory Board (DAB) to help Optimism's governance make better technical decisions, specifically by assessing "Missions" and grant milestones. The board will consist of several members, including a lead. The Optimism Foundation is proposing an initial budget to compensate these board members for their work.
If passed, 70,000 OP tokens (worth approximately $175,000 at current prices) will be allocated from the Governance Fund to pay the Developer Advisory Board members at the end of Season 5. This will create a new technical oversight body, potentially improving the quality of technical decisions and grant allocations within the Optimism ecosystem.
