S8 is not just an update ā itās a system-level redesign:
ā
New stakeholder structure
ā
Citizenship based on contribution
ā
Lower participation overhead
ā
Chains as active governors
3/
Why this matters:
As the Superchain grows, governance needs to evolve from single-chain token voting ā toward ecosystem-wide accountability and long-term resilience.
4/
š¹ Multi-stakeholder model:
Governance now includes:
ā¢ Token holders
ā¢ End users
ā¢ Developers
ā¢ Member chains
Chains arenāt passive infra anymore ā theyāre active decision-makers.
5/
š¹ Standardized citizenship:
To vote, you need:
ā¢ Real on-chain activity
ā¢ Sybil resistance (World ID, Passport)
ā¢ Ranking by usage (for devs & chains)
No more vague titles ā just provable contributions.
6/
š¹ Optimistic Approval:
Proposals pass by default ā unless vetoed.
A simple idea with big effects:\nā¢ Lower effort, higher participation\nā¢ Dynamic veto thresholds\nā¢ Works for budgets & upgrades
Efficient, yet accountable.
7/
This isnāt governance for one chain.
Itās governance for a coordinated network of chains.
Superchain is becoming a self-governing, multi-layer governance system. And Mint is part of it.
