For everyone’s awareness, OpenZeppelin has recently proposed a new streamlined deployment process to better differentiate which proposals require a dedicated review and which do not. This has allowed deployments from Alpha Growth to be accelerated with shorter timelines to deploy new markets and asset listings for the protocol. Despite these recent changes, OpenZeppelin has continued to be involved in reviewing several of these recent deployments where appropriate and continues to monitor the on-chain proposals for production issues.
As a result, we have seen 4 new proposals submitted just recently to deploy new markets or list new assets. This follows 2 new market deployments that were submitted last week for Optimism and Arbitrum that will soon be executed.
These improvements are the result of a long working relationship with the Alpha Growth, WOOF! and Franklin DAO teams that has developed over the past six months where we have learned how to better optimize work streams and developed unique processes. This is also possible due to the additional security expertise on Compound’s codebase and security posture that OpenZeppelin has built up gradually since our partnership began 2.5 years ago. This expertise has allowed us to assist in the onboarding of the WOOF and Franklin DAO dev teams to become valuable contributors to the protocol while maintaining security.
