This poll seeks to establish a 3-of-5 MultiSig Guardian for the Onyx protocol—a safeguard designed to protect our community from malicious governance proposals and potential Sybil attacks. As our ecosystem grows in size and significance, strengthening the resilience of our governance structures becomes not just prudent, but essential.
The Guardian will serve as a protective layer for the protocol, empowered to intervene only in the rare cases where proposals pose a clear threat to the security, integrity, or continuity of Onyx. By requiring the consensus of 3 out of 5 trusted signers, this design ensures that no single actor holds unilateral power, while still enabling rapid, collective action when our protocol is at risk.
Introducing a MultiSig Guardian provides the assurance that our shared governance process cannot be easily compromised by hostile actors or manipulated through Sybil-based exploits. It balances freedom with defense, ensuring the community’s vision can continue to flourish without disruption.
By voting to implement this safeguard, the Onyx community takes a proactive step toward protecting the long-term sustainability of our network. It reflects our collective responsibility to secure what we are building, so that innovation can thrive in a trusted and resilient environment.
Your vote is more than just support for a mechanism, it is a declaration that the Onyx protocol deserves both openness and protection. With a MultiSig Guardian in place, we can move forward with confidence, knowing that our governance process is shielded from bad actors while remaining firmly in the hands of the community.
Vote Options:
• For — Establish a 3/5 MultiSig Guardian to protect the protocol from malicious proposals and Sybil attacks.
