To clarify, decentralization in this context can mean two things:
Processes running entirely on-chain without intermediaries.
A third party, independent from the core team, handling certain responsibilities.
We aim for the first option—fully on-chain processes—to minimize dependency on any external entity. However, before reaching Milestone 1, there are areas where full decentralization remains uncertain.
For instance:
oSnap/UMA enables fully decentralized signatures via an oracle—this is already clear.
What’s less certain is whether a fully decentralized service can autonomously upload proposals to Snapshot on a monthly basis. This might require some manual assistance initially.
If we do end up needing support, WakeUp Labs will step in as a fallback to handle this responsibility temporarily.
We believe this is addressed in the proposal, but we’re happy to refine the explanation further with our Tech Lead to address any concerns.
