Governance & Ecosystem Updates

  • Thank you, Shelby - After nearly two years stewarding the Proposal Review Calls, Shelby is moving on to a career break. She remains reachable via Telegram at her usual contact for anyone with questions.

  • Broader governance design review - ZKsync governance was designed in Q4 2023, before the industry’s shift toward institutional adoption. Alongside GAP-5, the ZKsync Association Governance Team is reviewing governance design as a whole and how it fits with the future of ZKsync. If you’ve seen approaches from other ecosystems that accommodate institutional participation, please share them on the forum.

  • Call format - Expect some experimentation with this call’s format over the coming months.

Proposal Updates

  • Onchain: [GAP-5] Update Emergency Upgrade Terminology and Classification - Replaces ā€œemergency upgradeā€ with ā€œinstant upgradeā€ and splits it into two classifications: security patch and emergency response (reserved for active security incidents).

  • Technical: [ZIP-16] V31 Interop Bundles Upgrade - Approved by governance vote in late July, but execution on L1 is delayed pending an ongoing Security Council review. Issues were identified in the review of the call data that need to be resolved first.
