The ZKsync Governance Team continues the work to set the standard for onchain governance. This includes creating a system built on smart-contracts, not just multisigs. Yet this onchain system cannot be hidden and monolithic. It needs to be accessible, accountable, and adaptable.
As a step towards accessibility and accountability, the Governance Team has completed the development of an MVP governance monitoring system.
