why are they stuck on the chain? i thought the whole point of L2s was that users can withdraw your assets even if the chain disappears because the DA on the main chain allows users to withdraw their assets.
if thats not the case, why do we pay the ETH mainnet (and later, celestia) for DA? we paid $100k/mo for many months for DA. if that wasnt buying us the property of tokens being recoverable on the main chain, we should have just launched this as a side chain not a rollup.
yes, unless a credible plan to revive it is created.
i do not know why i as a steward would be responsible for answering those questions.
i was under the impression that the team that administered PGN would have had a plan for an orderly shutdown.
in the PGN wind down post from january, targeting a June wind down, Kyle said “. We will offer more details as we get closer to that timeline.”. Is this post the “more details”? this post seems like mostly just an ask for more funding and more burn from Gitcoin, too little too late.
it looks like from the foundation budget, that the PGN team was staffed for several months after the shutdown. what was that time/funding used for if not drawing up a plan for an orderly shutdown in june? what has the PGN team been up to for the last 4 months?
if i were to support this option, why would i have any confidence that the situation would improve after a year and spending $70k?
given we had 4 months to execute an orderly shutdown with paid staff and did not, why would 12 months to execute an orderly shutdown without any staff do any better? is conduit going to commit to upgrading the infrastructure to allow people to exit the chain without the chain being up between now and june 2025? if not, what is the plan to get peoples tokens off the chain between now and june 2025 in this scenario?
tldr - i think we need a credible path to winding down gitcoin’s financial commitment to PGN. sooner is better than later, gitcoin does not have infinite money to spend our way out of this.
