Context and Problem Statement

For L1, Decentraland has a DAO where people, part of the community, can vote and make decisions from basic signaling to executing an on-chain action.

Decentraland needs to scale and give a better experience to its users by using an L2 (second layer).

Users will interact with the same set of smart contracts like the Marketplace and Bid in L1, and new

ones like the upcoming store for collections' primary sales. Every smart contract which uses MANA but, not only, has

protocol parameters that must be managed by some kind of governance.

So far, DAO voting power is based on the user's wrapped MANA and LAND balance in L1.

This document presents alternatives on how to manage governance in L2.
