Superchain is getting serious about governance. 🧱⚖️ @OptimismGov Season 8 is live — and it’s a major shift toward interchain collaboration. Here’s what’s new in S8, and why it matters for chains like Mint. 🧵👇 #Superchain #Optimism #OnchainGovernance
2/ S8 is not just an update — it’s a system-level redesign: ✅ New stakeholder structure ✅ Citizenship based on contribution ✅ Lower participation overhead ✅ Chains as active governors
3/ Why this matters: As the Superchain grows, governance needs to evolve from single-chain token voting → toward ecosystem-wide accountability and long-term resilience.
4/ 🔹 Multi-stakeholder model: Governance now includes: • Token holders • End users • Developers • Member chains Chains aren’t passive infra anymore — they’re active decision-makers.
5/ 🔹 Standardized citizenship: To vote, you need: • Real on-chain activity • Sybil resistance (World ID, Passport) • Ranking by usage (for devs & chains) No more vague titles — just provable contributions.
6/ 🔹 Optimistic Approval: Proposals pass by default — unless vetoed. A simple idea with big effects:\n• Lower effort, higher participation\n• Dynamic veto thresholds\n• Works for budgets & upgrades Efficient, yet accountable.
7/ This isn’t governance for one chain. It’s governance for a coordinated network of chains. Superchain is becoming a self-governing, multi-layer governance system. And Mint is part of it.
