Based on Zentner, the plan to make use of Wormhole as the only real governance bridge for Uniswap must be deserted. As a substitute, he claimed that Uniswap researchers ought to work on a standardized system for utilizing a number of bridges to deal with governance selections.

Within the publish, Zentner acknowledged that LIFI strongly recommends “that Uniswap not choose one bridge supplier for its BNB Chain Deployment Proposal” as a result of “no single AMB [arbitrary messaging bridge] is examined sufficient to be thought-about a sturdy and safe answer {that a} venture of Uniswap’s measurement can solely depend on at this level.”
As proof of this, Zentner reminded readers of the slew of bridge hacks the crypto group has suffered over the previous two years, stating:
“Lest or not it’s forgotten, two main AMBs have been exploited prior to now twelve months (Nomad and Wormhole), whereas LayerZero has additionally come below hearth lately for its safety mannequin (Prestwich 2, L2Beat). We don’t say this as condemnation, relatively, we level this out to spotlight simply how troublesome it’s to construct safe AMBs and the following dangers a dApp is uncovered to by selecting a single bridging answer.”
Because of this, LIFI desires to see “a multi-bridge, agnostic strategy” to Uniswap governance. Zentner proposed that this may very well be completed by appointing a staff of 4 engineers to review the topic and submit a proposal.
