Gm everyone!
Anthony from Aragon here. We’re thrilled to see an appetite for cross-chain voting, something we’ve been working on since our Multi-chain V1 launch with LayerZero in November 2023.
We, in partnership with RISC Zero have published our proposal via Charmverse and would very much like to work with the Optimism and Superchain ecosystem to bring the most aggressive and trustless solution to date using Storage Proofs.
We envision a solution that will enable seamless and trustless cross-chain voting, and:
- Remove the need to bridge to vote; reducing a poor UX, removing risks associated with bridging, and eliminating fragmented liquidity.
- Allow any type of token to vote, especially those not following the ERC20Votes standard. This is a giant industry pain point where currently most projects only using ERC20 without the votes standard are incapable of governing onchain. Democratizing onchain voting to the entire industry.
- Preserve delegation when bridging across chains. As currently this is lost when a token holder bridgers from one chain to another. Increasing voter participation and decreasing lost delegations.
- Automate the dispatch of votes from the voting chain as it currently needs to be executed, meaning there is a risk that votes are not bridged before a vote ends.
- Enable gasless voting by abstracting it away using Coinbase Wallet, similar to the implementation that we currently have with zkSync, so users’ votes are free.
We welcome any questions, suggestions, or requests for additional information. We can’t wait for next steps and to hopefully to begin building this solution for OP and its ecosystem! Thank you!
