Fast-Track Deployment Proposals

Fast-Track Deployment Proposals

Author: @Bobbay at Across Status : Proposed Related Discussions: https://forum.across.to/t/fast-track-deployment-proposals/2014

Summary:

This proposal introduces an alternative streamlined governance process to be used for chain deployments only, termed “Fast-Track Deployment Proposal”. Fast-Track deployment proposals will have a lifecycle of 72 hours due to the nature of the proposal.

Motivation:

As Across DAO further decentralizes, a Fast-Track deployment proposals process will be necessary to address faster deployments. These Fast-Track deployment proposals will enable Across DAO to deploy chains faster; instead of relying on the standard governance process.

Technical Implementation:

Specification

Fast-track process Scope of the fast-track process Fast-track Process

Governance Thread for 24 hours Snapshot Vote for 48 hours Implementing a fast-track proposal would decrease the time to pass a chain deployment proposal from 8 days to 3 days.

To indicate a fast-track proposal, community members will have to insert “[Fast-Track DP]” into the title of a proposal i.e., “[Fast-Track DP] Deploy Across on WorldChain”. This is to alert community members about the nature of the proposal. This will also introduce a new tag to the Across forum, “Fast-Track” to keep track of all fast-track proposals.

Scope of the fast-track process. This process can be utilized under the following circumstances;

Deploying Across on new networks SnapShot Subspace

To facilitate the fast-track deployment proposal process, Across DAO will need to set up a separate snapshot subspace. This is necessary because this snapshot currently does not allow for different lengths for different proposals.

The newly created snapshot subspace would have a shorter voting period of 2 days.

Implementation

This is how the fast-track proposal would look in practice:

Across DAO Member posts a fast-track proposal on the Across forum with “[Fast-Track DP]” in the title After 24 hours, it will move forward to SnapShot. Across token holders will now vote on a proposal via SnapShot. Rationale: Across DAO needs a fast-track proposal process to cater to processes that require timely intervention; Across Governance process would require a large amount of time from discussion to voting duration to cater to an immediate chain deployment…

Voting:

For - In support of Fast-Track Deployment Proposals Against - Not in support of Fast-Track Deployment Proposals If 'For' vote quorum is surpassed, the vote will pass. If the vote passes, Across Snapshot administrators will make the necessary changes, if not, no changes will be made.
