  4. ZKsync has officially launched a decentralized governance model that includes smart contracts and various mechanisms to maintain a balance of power.

    Introduction of the new model

    The Ethereum Layer 2 protocol ZKsync announced its new governance system in a blog post. It includes smart contracts and is active on the mainnet. The developers stated that the new governance model embodies their key principles, such as mission alignment and resilience.

    Roles of different bodies

    The governance model includes three bodies: Guardians, Security Council, and Token Assembly. The Guardians and Security Council ensure adherence to ZK Credo’s values and protect the protocol from threats. The Token Assembly allows token holders to delegate their voting power.

    Token holders and their Delegates can initiate ordinary upgrades to the ZKsync protocol directly on-chain instead of relying on a single multisig.

    Check and balance mechanisms

    The governance model includes a set of check-and-balance mechanisms to prevent any group from gaining too much power. The Guardians hold veto power over proposals, the Security Council ensures technical security, and the Token Assembly makes decisions on upgrades and token programs.

    The new ZKsync governance system allows the community to participate in decision-making while ensuring balance and protection for the protocol.
