Protocol Upgrade #5: Ecotone Network Upgrade
Summary: This upgrade implements the Dencun update in line with mainnet, and implementing blobs availability. Full details can be found here. Coinbase and OP Labs engineers reviewed the code independently, but consistent with the low risk profile, no audits were performed by external parties.
Recommendation: Vote Yes. This update keeps Optimism up to date with the newest features and standards on Ethereum. Blobs in particular should be accretive to the protocol’s earnings by lowering costs.
Protocol Upgrade #6: Multi-Chain Prep (MCP) L1
Summary: This upgrade allows all Superchain blockchains to be updated simultaneously in a single transaction. The audit report via Cantina can be found here.
Recommendation: Vote Yes. In the event of a bug, governance needs to be able to push a patch to all Superchain members atomistically. This is a significant upgrade in security for the Superchain and also differentiates being a member vs a simple fork of OP tech that doesn’t immediately get to benefit from urgent security upgrades.
