The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of kaereste, @Sinkas, and @Manugotsuka, and it’s based on their combined research, fact-checking, and ideation.
We are voting FOR the proposal.
From our perspective, the 500k SCR “auto-abstain” wallet is a straightforward and low-risk approach to prevent proposals from failing due to governance apathy. It offers a decent buffer while avoiding the overhead that alternative approaches would create. Assigning the multisig to the Foundation and returning the tokens in October seems like a reasonable interim solution while the DAO works on organically growing governance activity and participation.
We would like to emphasize that we view this as a temporary solution. Ideally, governance proposals will start meeting and surpassing quorum long before we have to discuss returning the tokens to the treasury or extending this initiative.
