PIP Name: PIP-94 Vote to Sync Skyway Bridge Nonce on Arbitrum

Status: Proposed

Author(s): @BoweryKing

Type: EVM Proposal

Discussions-to: Governance - Paloma

Created: 08/28/2024

Simple Summary

Override the current nonce settings for arbitrum-main to re-enable the sync between Paloma and Compass.

Abstract

During the latest compass upgrade, Paloma v2.1.0 contained a bug that would lead to the last observed Skyway nonce to desync from the actual nonce emitted by compass. This ultimately led to all Skyway messages no longer being consumed by Paloma, rendering the bridge and all node sale contracts inoperable on arbitrum.

Motivation

With this proposal passing the vote, Paloma will override its record of the last observed Skyway nonce with the value specified. We chose 3 for the new nonce value, as this is the current value that compass has stopped to emit at.

Technical Specification

Proposed new nonce:

 "chain_reference_id": "arbitrum-main",
 "nonce": "3"
