According to The Defiant, Polygon is considering a draft proposal (PIP-93) that would change how protocol contracts can be upgraded. The proposal would centralize upgrade authority through an 8-of-11 Security Council composed of designated members. Under this structure, Polygon Labs would submit upgrade proposals, which would then face a mandatory seven-day delay before review or implementation by the council.
The draft aims to improve oversight of contract modifications by requiring input from a broader set of stakeholders represented in the Security Council. The seven-day delay applies specifically to proposals submitted by Polygon Labs, ensuring a consistent review period for those requests. The composition and membership criteria of the Security Council are part of the draft details, though specifics beyond the council size and voting threshold are not included in the summary.
The change reflects Polygon’s ongoing efforts to enhance governance safeguards for critical protocol upgrades. By introducing a formal council and a defined delay for lab-submitted proposals, the draft seeks to balance operational efficiency with increased security oversight.
