What happened
Proposal keeps granting permission to active contracts and gives DAO the power to revoke Foundation signing authority.
Why it matters
The proposal could change the Stylus activation procedure, while leaving active contracts outside the permission regime and preserving the DAO's right to revoke Foundation authority.
In Arbitrum, a proposal to resume Stylus activations with mandatory approval from the Arbitrum Foundation has been proposed. At the same time, already active contracts and their renewals would remain without a gating barrier.
According to the available description, the DAO would be able to revoke the Foundation's authority to sign such approvals. The source does not disclose timing, terms of voting, or the current status of the proposal.
The significance of the initiative lies in attempting to reconcile centralized approval for new activations with preserving approval access for already functioning contracts. However, confirmed information is limited to The Defiant's synopsis, so details require further verification.
