Security Council Self-Nomination: L2BEAT

Organization ID: L2BEAT

Does this nomination represent an individual or organization: Organization

Please link to any contributions that demonstrate you meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Security Council Charter:

  • Technical competency: we’ve got a lot of experience analysing all L2 systems, both scaling solutions and bridges. As we’ve been analysing Optimism since its’ inception, following all the changes and evolution, we have a deep understanding of both the current state of the system and the changes that led to the current state, and we are quite familiar with the roadmap ahead. We were also part of the previous Security Council in Cohort B.

  • Reputation: we are one of the leading projects providing information about the Ethereum L2 ecosystem, focusing on risks and security guarantees. We are also top delegates in most Ethereum L2 governance systems. Our reputation is our core and most valuable asset, and we are very careful to maintain it as such.

  • Geographic diversity: we have team members spread across several European countries: Poland, Italy, Bulgaria, Ireland, Germany and soon Spain. We’re deliberately building an international team and plan to add members living on other continents.

  • Diversity of interests. This is the only application associated with L2BEAT, and the only application submitted by any employees or affiliates of L2BEAT.

  • Alignment. we see our role as being Ethereum stewards in the L2 ecosystems, in that way we see ourselves fully aligned with Optimisms mission of scaling Ethereum and onboarding the whole world onchain in the broader Ethereum ecosystem. We always put the interests of users and the security of their funds first, and we plan to continue this approach while serving on the Security Council.

Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest: we are top25 delegates in Arbitrum, zkSync, Scroll, Polygon and Starknet, also smaller delegates in Hop and Uniswap, our goal however is to be present in all L2 governance ecosystems. L2BEAT members are part of security councils (or similar bodies) in Arbitrum, Polygon, Scroll, zkSync.

I am an Optimism delegate with sufficient voting power and I believe L2BEAT is a candidate ready to move to an election.

The SEED Gov delegation, as we have communicated here, with @Joxes being an Optimism delegate with sufficient voting power we believe this proposal is ready to move towards a vote.
