📰 Governance News & Discussions

Long-term Onchain Governance Architecture

Last week, the Foundation published their vision for the future of onchain governance for the Optimism Collective. The governance model aims to bring the logic of the Operating Manual onchain, allowing for different types of proposals, and rules that can be dependent on specifics of the proposals.

The post opens some questions for the community on the topic of proposal submissions, ossification of voting cycles and how to accommodate proposal edits.

Working Models for Decentralization

The Foundation published models to provide context to the community, looking towards the upcoming Season.

Decentralization Milestone Working Model: A model to understand the progression of decentralization within the Collective.
Governance Decision Diagram Working Model: A decision diagram including the decision making paths once Optimism governance is fully decentralized. The Decision Design Framework details the approach to design each decision module within this diagram.

Updates to the Standard Rollup Charter

The Standard Rollup Charter has been updated to include:

History integrity checks to assess discrepancies between chains have been moved to offchain tooling. These checks ensure chains that were deployed before the Blockspace Charter or the Standard Rollup are implemented correctly and are consistent with the Law of Chains.
Temporary control structures have been added to a limited set of chains. Upgrades for Base and Unichain will be implemented through a 3/3 upgrade multisig, with the following signers: the Optimism Security Council, the Optimism Foundation, and the Chain Governor.

Implementation of the charter and these changes is subject to its approval.

Retro Funding 6: Impact Attestation Experiment

In Retro Funding 6, the Collective will experiment with collecting impact data of governance contributions via attestations. The experiment asks governance members to issue attestations on Governance Infrastructure & Tooling projects that they do not have conflicts of interest with. Resulting insights will be given to badgeholders to support the voting process.

Deadline: October 24th
