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 voted FOR.
A single, measurable goal—achieving real interoperability usage—gives every team a clear path and lets us judge success without guesswork. The plan ties funding, grants, and retro rewards to that outcome, which keeps incentives pointed in the right direction. We still need to be aware of execution risk (shipping the upgrade on time and staying within the OP spend range), but the direction is sound and worth backing.
To widen the aperture and better align with the updated interop development timelines, the Foundation has decided to slightly adjust the success metrics for the second objective (”Grow TVL on the Superchain”). The two existing success metrics will remain but without the interop-specific focus. Instead of only prioritizing interop-ready TVL and interop transaction fees, progress towards this objective will now be evaluated based on generic TVL and total transaction fees. This shift aims to create optimal ecosystem conditions that will help interop thrive once it goes live. The proposed impact measurement methodology for S8 is detailed in this post. You can track timelines for upgrades 17 and 18 on the public roadmap.
