Code of Conduct Council Elections
While participating in the elections of the Code of Conduct Council, our vote was erroneously cast as ‘Abstain’ instead of towards the members we wanted to elect. However, we commented in the forum to signal our support and also raised the issue with Agora.
Upgrade Proposal # 10 : Granite Network Upgrade
Although we supported the proposal and signaled this with our comment, we missed the voting deadline by a few minutes.
Security Council Elections - Members & Lead
We participated in the elections for the Cohort A of the Security Council. You can find the people we voted in favor of as well as our full voting rationale here.
L 2 BEAT’s Optimism Office Hours
We want to remind to everyone that in order to further our communication with our constituents and any interested party in the community, we’re hosting recurring Office Hours on Google Meets.
The office hours are held every Tuesday at 3 pm UTC/ 11 am EST
During Office Hours, you will be able to reach L 2 BEAT’s governance team, which consists of kaereste (Krzysztof Urbanski) and Sinkas (Anastassis Oikonomopoulos) and discuss our activity as delegates.
The purpose of the office hours is to gather feedback from the people who have delegated to us, answer any questions in regard to our voting activities and rationale, and collect input on things you’d like us to engage in discussions about.
You can add the L 2 BEAT Governance Calendar in your Google Calendar 1 to find the respective Google Meets links for every call and to easily keep track of the Office Hours, as well as other important calls and events (e.g. voting deadlines) relevant to Optimism that L 2 BEAT governance team will be attending or hosting.

L2BEAT - Delegate Communication Thread
by Sinkas - No Role
Posted on: Sept. 17, 2024, 2:40 p.m.
Content: The following reflects the views of L 2 BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste st and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
We voted in favor of Rolling Mission Requests, as having an available budget but having to wait for next season to utilize it doesn’t seem reasonable.
We also went through the Mission Requests for Cycle 27 and decided to vote for the following:
R 1 : Subsidized Audit Grants V 2
R 2 : Experimentation of Infrastructure Subsidies
R 5 : Optimism Dominance in Yield-Bearing Assets - DEX Liquidity for YBAs
R 6 : Decentralized Solvers and Aggregators on OP Mainnet / Superchain
R 7 : Targeted extension of Superfest

Voting
Governor Upgrade # 1 : Improve advanced delegation voting - Vote FOR
We voted in favor of the proposal, and we also expressed our feedback that changes to the governor should be discussed with delegates beforehand to avoid going back and forth through the governance process.
Season 5 : Intents Budget Proposal # 2 - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of the proposal as we felt reallocating the OP to the proposed Mission Requests was a sensible thing to do and a value add for the DAO.
Protocol Upgrade # 7 : Fault Proofs - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of the proposal to implement fault proofs, even though some concerns were raised. We voted in favor of the proposal anyway because it wasn’t an on-chain vote with the executable attached but rather a directional temp-check of sorts.
Protocol Upgrade # 8 : Changes for Stage 1 Decentralization - Voted FOR
Bringing Optimism closer to ‘Stage 1 ’ as defined by our framework was a no-brainer vote for us, and we voted in favor of the proposal.
Governor Update Proposal # 2 : Improvements to advanced delegation allowance calculations - Voted FOR
We did not find the proposal contentious, and it was about fixing issues with the governance process, which led us to vote in its favor.
Season 6 : Code of Conduct Council Renewal - Voted FOR
Although we were in favor of extending the CoCC, we were against the proposed budget, and therefore decided to vote against the proposal.
The proposal was reintroduced in a later voting cycle with a renewed budget, and we voted in its favor.
Season 6 : Intents Ratification - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of the proposal as we believed it provided a good foundation for expanding the Optimism Collective and the Superchain vision.
We also voted in favor of the subsequent vote for the budget of each respective intent.
Season 6 : Developer Advisory Board Renewal - Voted FOR
After considering both proposals for the renewal of the DAB, we ultimately decided to vote in favor of the one by Zach.
Season 6 : Grants Council Operating Budget - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of the proposed budget for the Grants Council, as we found it reflects the increased workload that the council processes.
Upgrade Proposal # 9 : Fjord Network Upgrade - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of the proposal since the proposed changes included in the upgrade were reasonable improvements to the OP stack.
Anticapture Commission Amendment - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of the proposal as the proposed amendments made sense and helped define the role of the ACC as well as the responsibilities of its members more clearly.
Chain Delegation Program Amendment - Voted FOR
We voted in favor of extending the program even though it wasn’t utilized in Season 5 . We believe engagement of the member chains in governance is important for the vision of the Superchain to succeed. We went a step further to add that we wanted to see representatives from the chains that receive delegation actively participating in governance and the day-to-day discussions in the DAO.

Content: The following reflects the views of L 2 BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two. With Season 6 upon us, we want to discuss its structure and Optimism broadly with other delegates and interested stakeholders. There are many things to unpack and many structural changes to digest before the Season officially kicks off, from the new Intents to the way Mission will work. If you’re eager to learn more about Optimism, if you have ideas you’d like to bounce off of someone with experience in governance and Optimism, or if you’re contemplating applying for a grant, we’d like to chat. We want to take the opportunity to remind everyone that L 2 BEAT is hosting Optimism Office Hours every Tuesday at 3 : 00 pm UTC, and we want to extend an invite to our next call on Tuesday, 11 th of June 2024 , to all interested parties.
