The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste, @Sinkas, and @Manugotsuka, and it’s based on their combined research, fact-checking, and ideation.
We’re voting in FAVOR of renewing the UAC for the S4.
We backed the Season 3 renewal and have been satisfied with the committee’s output. The new request—$320k in UNI for 8 months plus a $50k operations buffer—represents a larger commitment than last season. However, the added hours, the committee’s broadened scope, and its decision to run the S4 through year-end 2025 more than justify the increase.
In our view, the UAC has become an essential operational bridge between governance decisions and day-to-day execution, handling everything from cross-chain deployments to incentive distribution and ENS management. The extra month, higher hour-cap, and modest discretionary fund should help it keep pace with an expanding ecosystem and the transition to the V4.
As an extension of our support for the renewal of the UAC for another season, we also voted in favor of the rebalancing of the accounts.
