Mateusz Rzeszowski is the governance facilitator at Polygon Labs. He has been involved in the development of Polygon's governance model, specifically the proposal for an "Ecosystem Council" that would be able to perform upgrades to Polygon's system smart contracts in a more decentralized and secure manner. Polygon is proposing a new governance model called the "Ecosystem Council" that would be able to upgrade Polygon's system smart contracts in a timelock-limited way. The Ecosystem Council would be a body of dedicated individuals in the Polygon community, elected by MATIC token holders, that could make changes to the core Polygon protocols for the benefit of users, validators, and developers. This hybrid governance model aims to balance security and decentralization, minimizing the need for active governance and reducing potential attack vectors compared to regular elections. Rzeszowski has been leading the discussion around this new governance proposal, inviting community feedback and addressing questions about decentralization and technical viability.
