Following the [progress](https://gov.optimism.io/t/governance-update-11/10367) made towards the Season 8 milestones, we’ve updated both the [System Diagram](https://www.figma.com/board/iXqyKmLJeBeplKpJBHDI7G/PUBLIC--Optimism-Decision-Diagram-Working-Model?node-id=0-1&t=rzvGtzdsl7VZq2xw-1) and the [Decentralization Milestones](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IpL0oTd3AgNBu_eWdjP9EjbQfZjq-_Nd3yU1H2ke3vY/edit?usp=sharing) for Season 9. You can find historical references of previous versions in the tabs.

The milestones have been updated to reflect the below change log:

**Technical Layer**

- Removed the row about Law of Chains enforcement as the Foundation envisions this document being used for guidance rather than strictly enforced
- Updated the “Treasury Control” row to align with vision for Capital Allocation 2.0

**Economic Layer**

- Removed the “Reward Allocations” row to align with vision for Capital Allocation 2.0
- Updated the “Budgeting” row to reflect vision for Capital Allocation 2.0
- Updated the “Sequencer Revenue” row to reflect “Buybacks”

**Social Layer**

- Removed “Core Dev” and “Intent” rows as neither reflected meaningful progress towards decentralization
- Added language to “Citizenship” and “Metagovernance” milestones to make them more specific
