Each outcomes (whether or not demand is excessive for USDC/ETH collateral or not) present precious knowledge on how the protocol ought to proceed with its scaling roadmap.

Kaleb introduced up that inflation has decreased considerably over the previous 12 months and the staking share has held at round 70%.

Subsequent up, there was a SIP presentation final week for SIP-349 to allow cross-chain reads on Synthetix V3 by integrating Wormhole’s CrossChain Question (CCQ).

SIP-349: Add crosschain reads with Wormhole CrossChain Queries

If accredited, Wormhole CCQ shall be applied, enabling proposals like SIP-312 (V3 cross-chain pool synthesis) to unlock a multichain future for Synthetix V3
If there’s a must sync pool knowledge throughout chains, this SIP will present the infrastructure to make that potential
Any use case for this software can be outlined in several SIPs, similar to SIP-312 or future SIPs proposing to hyperlink remoted deployments from totally different chains

Some SC members introduced up challenges that bridges have had prior to now and requested for some extra readability on the up to date safety mannequin. The Wormhole workforce responded saying:

The Gaurdian set for Wormhole is comprised of high 19 validator corporations, and their major perform is knowledge attestation
2/3rds of the Gaurdians should witness a transaction to realize consensus
For cross-chain queries, the inverse occurs (Guardians carry out a name and focus on the outcomes, which is then verified through a two thirds majority)
The entire validators are fully doxxed and have a reputational stake in verifying correct data
Following earlier exploits, an extra circuit breaker has been put in place to restrict notional transaction quantity that may be verified in a 24 hour interval
A ‘global accountant’ mechanism has additionally been added to verify all debits towards credit to confirm that what’s being distributed on one other chain has been collected first
There have additionally been 20 audits and all the safety code is open supply
Kain known as consideration to the truth that there are already outdoors dependencies that Synthetix depends on (Oracles) and thinks this can be a helpful piece of infrastructure that shall be essential sooner or later
