L2BEAT

# **About Us** #
We are the team behind the L2BEAT.com 5 site and have intimate knowledge of Maker’s bridging and teleport capabilities as our team members have directly worked on this both within and alongside the former Protocol Engineering Core Unit.

With the following proposal, L2BEAT would like to use their technical expertise to support Maker’s Multichain opportunities.

## L2BEAT’s Proposal to Maker Governance ##

In light of Maker’s recent onboarding of the Endgame and Scope Frameworks, various community members and 3rd party participants have requested clarity regarding Maker’s Layer Two plans. As a professional ecosystem actor, L2BEAT proposes to work on these challenges for both Maker Core as well as offering SubDAO support as necessary. This involves both near term and long term, aspirational elements.

Near term work involves reaching a resolution following PECU’s Multichain Strategy Update, and longer term efforts involve deeper research work for aspirational maker chain development.

As per the Engineering Multichain budget (Section 7.1), L2BEAT is requesting an annual 1.55M DAI streamed monthly, expiring at the end of June 2024.

## Scope ##

As part of this proposal, L2BEAT aims to:
- Work with relevant stakeholders, including Maker holders, SubDAOs and other Ecosystem Actors, to deliver an updated MultiChain strategy with regards to:

    -- The usage of Canonical DAI and Canonical Bridges (currently deployed on Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, StarkNet)
        -- Providing clear guidance if Maker should support Canonical DAI on new chains or if the use of “wrapped DAI” is acceptable
        -- Developing the future roadmap of governance relays that are currently used to relay governance spells to L2 contracts
        -- Exploring the future roadmap of Maker Teleport - the facility allowing for fast withdrawals of DAI from L2s
        -- Exploring the future roadmap of dss-bridge - the facility meant to allow for fast teleport of DAI to any chain and for direct DAI minting on L2 if Maker VAT was to be deployed on L2 (which, with the current strategy, is not being considered)
        -- Work on interoperability aspects and design for the future MakerChain, especially with a focus on trustless bridging from whatever chain will be used to implement the MakerChain to chains where DAI is actually used (primarily Ethereum, but theoretically other chains as well)
- Perform oversight on the future deployments of bridges, gov-relays, teleport, etc. depending on the approved version of the new MultiChain strategy, including help reviewing L2 spells
- Continue currently paused talks with Base, Scroll, Polygon and other rollups/chains

Note that the scope of work does not include smart contract deployment (other than eventual prototyping), unit and integration testing, coordination of auditing process, bug bounty programs or subsequent maintenance of smart contract infrastructure. We assume that this work (with our oversight) will be performed by other Ecosystem Actors specializing in smart contract development and maintenance.

L2BEAT is a respected member of the DeFi ecosystem and would feel privileged to bring its expertise to the Maker ecosystem to help Maker scale in a safe manner. We welcome the community’s consideration and vote on our proposal.

Protocol Scope

L2BEAT is the leading Layer Two development and research company focusing on multichain scaling solutions across a variety of blockchains.

# **About Us** #

The experience, skills, and professional expertise offered by our teams, enables BA Labs to meet the needs of different protocols, applications, and DAOs in the Maker ecosystem. We work in a variety of domains, including: consulting, dashboard development, improving data accessibility, data platform as a service, risk analysis, protocol assessments, and risk modeling.

Our products, services, and priorities going forward are highlighted below.

### Endgame Scope Parameter Monitoring ###

Following our recent merger with DICU, we plan to incorporate additional information, such as Maker Teleport statistics and Maker governance data. This will serve as a useful tool to track a variety of protocol and governance changes, including: risk parameters, governance decisions, and an overview of the financial landscape of the Maker ecosystem.


### Dashboards: Ongoing Maintenance and Developments ###

BA Labs currently maintains three critical dashboards related to the Maker Protocol

### Planned Improvements ###

Relevant Endgame data and parameters will be added to the Maker Risk Dashboard and Makerburn dashboard. 

### SubDAO Data Insights and Support ###

BA Labs offers the development and maintenance of sophisticated financial risk monitoring dashboards specifically tailored to the requirements of SubDAO projects.

### Governance & Data Accessibility support ###

As continuation to the work of DICU, BA labs offers a free & public data api as well ad-hoc analysis and reporting to support governance and technical functions, such as delegate compensation calculations. Extending to the future needs of AVCs and Scopes.

### Risk Monitoring & Parameter Proposals ###

Since 2019, BA Labs’ risk monitoring and risk mitigation strategies have been essential in maintaining Dai as the largest decentralized stablecoin in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem. Demand for Dai has remained high, despite challenging, uncertain, and volatile market conditions in certain periods of 2022 and 2023. We believe that a key reason for this is the confidence that Dai holders have in MakerDAO’s smart contracts and risk mitigated collateral management provided by the @Risk-Core-Unit (BA Labs) as well as contributions of other MakerDAO teams.

### Consultancy ###

- Scope Language and Content
- Risk Modeling
- Asset Liability Management (ALM)

Dewiz

# **About Us**

Dewiz DeFi Engineering Services provides organizations flexible access to battle-tested smart contract engineers that confront the wizardry of DeFi protocols.
        
DeFi concepts and strategies can be complex. Turning these ideas into reality using ground-breaking and evolving technology only compounds the challenges. For organizations struggling to master smart contract development or those that prefer a turnkey experience when navigating smart contracts, Dewiz offers a full suite of services to support any DeFi-related project on Ethereum, L2s, and many EVM-compatable chains.
        
# **Services offered**
        
Dewiz gives your project smart contract engineers to utilize as much (or as little) as you need, for every aspect of the development lifecycle. Dewiz provides on-demand services for ideation, innovation, and tailored solution design in addition to writing the actual code. The team is committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and security in all of its work.
        
**Smart Contract Operations**
        
Smart contract operations are typically focused on using, maintaining, and improving the functionality of existing smart contracts. This includes writing Spells, reviewing and testing code, monitoring the performance of smart contracts, and responding to issues or bugs as they arise.
        
A key-engagement point for Dewiz in the Maker ecosystem is the authoring of Spells for common and novel use cases at MakerDAO. Dewiz is excited for the opportunity to grow alongside the needs of SubDAOs for Spell related tasks and aims to create enhancements for our clients as the demand for this service grows and takes shape operationally.
        
**Smart Contract Product Development**
        
Smart contract development encompasses creating new smart contracts and implementing new features and functionality. This involves designing, architecting, writing code, testing and debugging new contracts, and working with other teams to integrate the new contracts into the broader system.
        
SubDAOs that choose to work exclusively with Ecosystem Actors for smart contract services can look forward to a consistent experience when engaging Dewiz when developing new protocol features. Dewiz’s engineering experience will support faster development cycles and successful code deployments.
        
**Integrating DeFi & CeFi**
        
Dewiz is purpose built and focused on opportunities to contribute engineering services in DeFi.

Whether a client is a DeFi project looking to incorporate traditional financial instruments, or a CeFi organization seeking to tap into the power of decentralized technology, Dewiz can provide the support and guidance need to navigate a boundary-breaking project to a successful deployment.
        
**Documentation & Technical Assessments**
        
Correctly supporting code for a public blockchain is paramount for the success of a project.
        
Documentation in the DeFi space is utilized by the developers authoring the code, auditors reviewing the code, and even expert users who desire to have a clear understanding of what actions a smart contract is performing. Well-documented code helps to improve the development process, and the security of the contract by making it easier for external reviewers to identify potential vulnerabilities and security risks. Clear and thorough documentation also makes it easier for users of the contract to understand how it works and how to interact with it, which increases trust and adoption.
        
Technical assessments also help to identify potential issues with the contract’s design or implementation before any development work begins. This can save time and money by ensuring that the contract is developed in the most efficient and effective way possible. A technical assessment can also help to identify potential security vulnerabilities or other risks in the contract, which can be addressed before they become a problem. These assessments also provide valuable insights and recommendations that can be used to improve the contract’s design and functionality before writing a line of code.
        
**Seamless Engagements**
        
In addition to the team’s technical expertise, Dewiz also supports a strong understanding of the principles, operations, and values of both traditional and decentralized organizations. Dewiz is dedicated to working closely with DAOs, SubDAOs, projects, and traditional organizations to ensure that its team of engineers supports the transparency, communications, and preferred delivery method of smart contracts for clients. Our payment options and cycles are flexible to support a variety of engagement types, ranging from streams, on-chain payments, and integrations with payment platforms.
        

Dewiz is a team of engineers with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, secure, and reliable smart contracts for the premier DeFi projects.

Governance Alpha

**GovAlpha's Mandate**

**1. Neutrality**  
Neutrality is essential if GovAlpha is to maintain its position as a credible facilitator of governance within MakerDAO. Ultimately GovAlpha has this mandate because it is trusted by governance participants to fulfill it without bias towards outcomes. Lack of neutrality undermines this trust, however, GovAlpha must also maintain and improve the governance structures and processes within MakerDAO and this is impossible to do without expressing opinions on these structures and processes. Therefore, the Facilitators of GovAlpha commit to neutrality in areas unrelated to the governance of MakerDAO.

**2. Facilitation of Governance**  
The governance processes of an organization like MakerDAO will not operate consistently and clearly without facilitation. GovAlpha fulfills the role of officials in traditional systems of governance, leaving those involved in governance able to spend more time on decision-making and discussion.

**3. Effectiveness of Governance**  
The strength of the MakerDAO governance system relates directly to the participation levels in both on-chain and off-chain governance. The expression of will by individuals interested in the Protocol’s success can only be as well-rounded and well-defined as the number of Governance participants. Similarly, a decision is only as durable as the consensus surrounding it. For these reasons, it is GovAlpha's mandate to strive for participation and consensus which are crucial for the preservation and improvement of governance within MakerDAO.

**4. Communication and Moderation**  
Moderation and communication fulfill a supporting role in relation to the other items of the mandate. It is difficult to facilitate effective governance if high-quality communication platforms and norms do not exist. Additionally, GovAlpha should be accessible to the MakerDAO community and the MakerDAO mandated actors and attempt to bridge these two groups of stakeholders in cases of disagreement.

Helping to ensure MakerDAO has a consistent and well-run governance process managed by elected facilitators.

Growth

The key channels we wish to expand are the (1) ability of borrowers to generate Dai, (2) the ability of users to buy and sell Dai, and (3) the ability of users to perform a useful activity with Dai.

To do so, each member of the Growth CU will be in charge of a segment, vertical, or geography to:

-   Understand the Maker protocol market fit.
-   Give support and education to drive Dai adoption and integrations.
-   Generate expansion and adoption of Dai.
-   Develop an integration strategy and give continuous advice to the newest distribution channels.
-   Create a success plan to track integration outcomes.
-   Review the status of the oldest integrations to help them to grow in the usage of Dai.

**What is our execution strategy?**

We follow a demand-driven fast execution strategy, spreading resources across a large variety of partner verticals based (initially) on intuition and hypothesis about Maker’s protocol market fit, see what works, and then continually double down where we’ve gained traction.

Once we have found a new market (it could be a region, a vertical, or product), we follow this process to open it and establish Maker on it: 

1. we acquire a foundational bridgehead integration which serves as an
    icebreaker because it facilitates the expansion beyond our current
    integration types 
2. we use this bridgehead to gain further foundational integrations which help us to make Dai available in
    that market 
3. we use these foundational integrations to develop
    higher-level partnerships, those are partners who add utility to Dai
    rather than availability

The Growth Core Unit aims to grow the available distribution channels for the Maker protocol by intelligently deploying the human and financial capital given by the DAO, increasing the supply and demand of Dai in the global markets.

JanSky

**Background and Training**

My journey into the realm of MakerDAO governance has been both enlightening and challenging. During my training under the guidance of the GovAlpha team, I received valuable insights and knowledge. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that their evaluation may carry a degree of bias due to differing perspectives on the direction of Endgame.
    
**Commitment to Anonymity and SubDAO**

I want to emphasize my unwavering commitment to anonymity, a fundamental principle that I believe strengthens the Maker ecosystem.
    
**Use of ChatGPT**

The use of ChatGPT in my responses during Maker interactions is intentional. It is aimed at promoting enhanced anonymity and serving as a practical training exercise aligned with Rune’s recent vision. While there have been challenges in this regard, I appreciate the leeway provided by the Maker community in this experimental phase. I continue to improve my model and the quality of its output.
    
**Openness to Feedback**

I want to assure the community that I am open to feedback and collaboration.
