Did @l2beat ever post an explanation of why Base is Stage 0 while Optimism is Stage 1?

High level they look the same. it seems to hinge on "Security Council is not properly set up", but I can't immediately see out why not.

L2BEAT is an open source, public-good analytics and resrarch platform dedicated to L2 scaling solutions. ❤️

The actual governance structure is a big graph of connected Gnosis SAFEs. The could-steal-funds master admin is a 2/2 SAFE whose members are (Optimism Foundation 5/7 SAFE, Base 3/6 SAFE).

Base

FYI: we’re not pumping the gas target this week as fault proofs are going live on @base tomorrow, marking an important step toward Stage 1 decentralization

This upgrade enables anyone to deposit + withdraw funds to/from Base via Ethereum, removing the need for centralized actors

IIRC Base didn't complete all the upgrades yet to become Stage 1? Or they just did (was scheduled for end of October?) and @l2beat hasn't updated yet?

The base team explained it in this article:

“Today, smart contract upgrades on Base are reviewed and approved by several contributors from the Base and Optimism teams.

Getting to Stage 1 means expanding this set of approvers to a broader, decentralized group of stakeholders — a “security council” — ensuring that Base protocol upgrades are managed without centralized control.”

Have no idea what it actually means but I think I remember people talking about “fault proofs”?

Could be wrong
