This proposal seeks to renew the Protocol Delegation Program for Optimism's Season 4. This program temporarily delegates up to 5 million OP tokens from the Governance Fund to other blockchain protocols that align with Optimism's values.

This benefits the protocols by giving them a voice, and potentially benefits Optimism by fostering stronger relationships with key partners. If it fails, protocols would not receive these delegated tokens for Season 4.
