Odaily Planet Daily News zkSync co-founder Alex G issued a paper proposing a new governance solution, using L1 Fork (fork) as the court of final appeal, establishing a layered system of courts on the chain similar to real-world judicial institutions, and providing It provides a standard ERC interface.
Specifically, each protocol has its own governance and defines normal and emergency upgrade mechanisms. The protocol must also designate a special contract as an appeal instance. For emergency escalation, there must be an appeal period during which anyone can challenge it to a higher court and they must post a pre-determined bond. The court can then cancel the emergency escalation (doing nothing else), and different courts will have different members, prices, and reputations in a fully decentralized fashion. Each court must also designate a higher court where any decision can be appealed, up to the Ethereum Supreme Court. The decision of this smart contract can only be determined by a soft fork of L1.
"We hope to develop social consensus on this idea, and deploy a 'canonical' court instance that is so expensive to use that only truly exceptional cases are referred to it, that it may be worth raising the alarm across Ethereum's entire Layer-0 (social consensus) concerns, such as errors in Uniswap, major L2, DeFi protocols with systemic risks, etc.” Alex G added that the most important function of such a system is to protect the protocol from external political factors, and will As a powerful deterrent mechanism, zkSync is more than happy to fund research like this.
