  Content: Special Voting Cycle # 23 a (May 23 - 29 , 2024 ) Protocol Upgrade # 7 : Fault Proofs Vote: For Reasoning: I voted in FAVOR of this proposal as it represents a significant step towards decentralization and enhanced security on the Optimism network. This upgrade reduces the trust assumptions required for users by enabling a permissionless proposal and fault proof system. This means any user can propose output roots and participate in the dispute system, eliminating the reliance on a privileged proposer. Additionally, the system includes robust security mechanisms, such as the guardian’s ability to intervene in emergencies, ensuring a safe and responsible transition. I believe this update directly addresses the community’s needs and concerns. Furthermore, the upgrade paves the way for future improvements and multiple proof systems, which will continue strengthen the network. Protocol Upgrade # 8 : Changes for Stage 1 Decentralization Vote: For Reasoning: I voted in favor of this proposal because it enhances the security and decentralization of the Optimism Superchain. By increasing the Security Council’s signing threshold from 4 to 10 out of 13 members, it ensures that important decisions require broader consensus, reducing the risk of unilateral decisions. This change meets the L 2 Beat framework’s requirements for a Stage 1 rollup, enhancing security and stability for all users. Additionally, the reassignment of the Guardian role to the Guardian Safe, controlled by the Security Council, and the designation of the Foundation as Deputy Guardian, better distribute power and allow for rapid emergency intervention. The transfer of L 2 ProxyAdmin ownership to a 2 / 2 system between the Security Council and the Foundation ensures that no single entity has excessive control over system upgrades. These changes are essential for progressing towards greater decentralization and maintaining a secure and reliable network. Governor Update Proposal # 2 : Improvements to advanced delegation allowance calculations Vote: For Reasoning: I have voted in favor of this proposal because it enhances the accuracy and reliability of the advanced delegation system on the Optimism network. This update rectifies errors in allocation calculations that were affecting delegates, ensuring they receive the correct voting power in all scenarios. Additionally, the proposal has been audited by OpenZeppelin, confirming its security. This improvement will strengthen the integrity of the governance system and facilitate more representative and effective participation in Optimism governance, benefiting the entire community Season 6 : Code of Conduct Council Renewal Vote: For Reasoning: I sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the Code of Conduct Council (COC) during Season 5 to strengthen governance in Optimism. The exploration of decentralization in the application of the Code of Conduct represents a bold step towards a more inclusive and transparent community. While I support the evolution of these processes and understand the need for additional incentives to encourage greater participation, I find that the proposed increase in the COC budget could be considered somewhat high. However, I trust that this increase could create opportunities to expand participation and improve the effectiveness of the Council; therefore, I have decided to vote IN FAVOR of this proposal. Season 6 : Intents Ratification Vote: For Reasoning: I vote in favor of this proposal. I agree with the purposes proposed by the Foundation. Each one is highly significant as it provides a solid foundation for expanding the vision of the Optimism Collective for the Superchain. I’m excited to see what will be accomplished based on these intents. Season 6 : Developer Advisory Board Renewal Vote: Zach Obront Reasoning: I have read both proposals, and each of them is really good, which has made the decision difficult. However, considering the proposed budget and Zach’s experience in the last season, I have voted in favor of his proposal. I believe that both Zach and Ed are very involved, the ideas proposed by both are interesting, and it would be amazing to see them working together in the DAB. Season 6 : Grants Council Operating Budget Vote: For Reasoning: I support this operating budget proposal from the Optimism Grants Council due to its comprehensive approach to strengthening and continuously growing the ecosystem. The work done last season proved to be efficient and thorough in reviewing hundreds of applications. Therefore, I believe that allocating resources for new key roles within the Council can help alleviate the workload and enhance performance. Furthermore, the inclusion of clear performance metrics to assess the Council’s impact ensures transparency and accountability in the use of community funds, which is essential for maintaining participants’ trust in governance. Season 6 : Intent Budgets Vote: For Reasoning: I agree with the proposed purposes and budgets. Each of the intentions is important as it provides a good foundation for further fostering growth within the Superchain. I’m excited to see everything that is coming for this season.
