The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Manugotsuka, and is based on their combined research, fact-checking, and discussion.
We voted FOR.
Crosschain governance is an important part of how Uniswap operates across multiple networks, and it makes sense to keep that infrastructure up to date as deployments evolve and older messaging systems become less suitable.
Moving Avalanche and MegaETH away from LayerZero v1 is a reasonable step. Given the direction of LayerZero v1 and the bridge work already done by the Uniswap Foundation, we think migrating these deployments to a more actively supported messaging path is the right direction.
We also support moving Soneium and X Layer away from aliased timelock ownership and toward CrossChainAccount contracts. Aliased ownership on OP Stack chains can be unintuitive and easier to mishandle, while CrossChainAccount provides a clearer and more explicit ownership structure for executing governance actions from Ethereum.
Before voting, we asked our Research Team to review the proposal. Their view was that the overall direction is sound: moving away from LayerZero v1 makes sense, and the proposed CrossChainAccount changes are a cleaner setup for Soneium and X Layer.
The main nuance they raised is around MegaETH. If a canonical bridge path is available there, it would be helpful to understand why the proposal uses Wormhole instead of the canonical bridge, especially when CrossChainAccount is already being used for other OP Stack deployments. This does not change our support for the proposal, but we think the design choice is worth clarifying.
