I’ve been speaking privately with Maurelian on his Consensys Diligence proposal. It strikes me that his comment here about moving “towards a new and more collaborative model of smart contract security,” speaks to the potential the ANSP position has to set the right precedent for security in the Aragon network.
During our discussion, we expressed a mutual interest to carry out the terms of both proposals under a good-faith arrangement. Should AGP-18 be accepted, Authio will set aside a portion of the funds in order to subcontract the Consensys Diligence firm under the terms of their closed AGP.
Our motivation behind this arrangement is to provide the most possible value for the community from AGP-18. Diligence will reduce overhead of the initial audit by sharing knowledge gleaned from their previous engagement with Aragon. We will be coordinating to ensure the A1 developers are able to maximize the opportunity provided by an engagement with both firms. Most importantly, our collaboration ensures the formation of these ongoing security relationships can begin immediately, rather than being delayed until April. Should AGP-18 pass, ANT voters will be guaranteed not just the upside of AGP-18, but also that of the closed Diligence AGP.
Given the change in circumstances, we ask that ANT voters consider the newly combined upside of Authio and Diligence working hand in hand to ensure the strongest commitment to security for one of the largest projects in our ecosystem.
