Week of January 9, 2023
Summary
Optimism’s Goerli testnet was upgraded to Bedrock! Mainnet next.
As shared during the last community call, hosted by @michael, @ben-chain is looking for feedback about what kind of protocol upgrade information the community would want ahead of an upgrade vote: “Mainnet upgrades need to go through the Token House.”
The Grants Council will soon be set and at work. Check out the two request-for-grants threads, which will inform the Council’s Growth Experiments and Builders sub-committees.
