Hey folks!
We have several important updates regarding the V5 launch regarding timing and deliverables.
Timing
The audit mitigations are taking longer than expected. A number of issues have needed much more time than expected, and we still have a large backlog of minor issues to tackle. Additionally, we didn’t schedule enough time for the mitigation review by Code Arena.
This means we’re going to have to push the launch date further. Our goal is to prioritize security rather than rushing to launch.
Our new launch date for the Beta launch on Optimism is now August 30.
Deliverables
The upcoming launch on Optimism is called the Beta launch, and there will be a detailed post on it shortly! The launch is being planned by the ad-hoc Beta Launch Team; which is a team comprised of members of the Growth Team, Community Team, and Generation Software.
The Beta Launch Team believes we need to focus all of our efforts on making the Beta launch on Optimism a success, so Generation is going to adjust its deliverables for Q3. Rather than launch on L2s in quick succession, we are going to focus our efforts on the one launch to ensure its success.
Specific additional deliverables:
- Port the multi-delegator app and smart contracts over to V5
- Build monitoring tools that allow us to measure the efficiency and operation of the V5 deployment (draws, prize claims, and liquidations). These tools will be essential for V5 health-checks.
Hate to push the dates out for launch, and post-pone launches on other L2s, but we need to get this right!
