PIP-100: Paloma Mainnet Remove support for BLAST EVM Chain To Fix Valset and SLC Issues

Proposal: PIP-100: Paloma Mainnet Remove support for BLAST EVM Chain To Fix Valset Issues

Status: Proposed

Author(s): @BoweryKing

Type: Software Upgrade

Discussions-to:

Created: 09/20/24

Simple Summary

There has been zero activity on blast since the creation of compass over 20 days ago. The BLAST Fee Manager contract is empty. Paloma validators will need to redeploy the Fee Manager and then redeploy Compass to Blast. Disabling and re-enabling Compass-EVM on BLAST will be the easiest way to achieve it without impacting the other chains. No valsets or submit logic calls are occurring on the Blast mainnet.

Abstract

The BLAST Fee Manager contract is empty. Paloma validators will need to redeploy the Fee Manager and then redeploy Compass to Blast. Disabling and re-enabling Compass-EVM on BLAST will be the easiest way to achieve it without impacting the other chains. No valsets or submit logic calls are occurring on the Blast mainnet.

Specification Overview
