Dear Community,
We’re pleased to share an update on our governance activities for December 2025. This month, we screened over 35 networks and participated in voting on 60 proposals across 21 chains, consistently advocating for the best interests of our delegators. Below is a chart highlighting the top 10 most active networks and a breakdown of our votes:
Top 10 most active chains by governance and Solva vote breakdown
In total, Solva voted on nine mainnet upgrade proposals this month across Injective, dYdX, Babylon, Secret Network, Saga, Initia, XION and Terra. December upgrades kept the ecosystem moving forward, mixing routine maintenance that improved reliability and validator ops with bigger milestones like Saga’s 1.0 overhaul and Initia’s Reactor upgrade.

Apart from chain upgrades, a handful of governance proposals this month stood out for their impact on security posture, interoperability, and market integrity:
Osmosis Proposal #997 - Update Developer Vesting Addresses: Approved a cleanup consolidating developer vesting unlocks from 15 legacy genesis addresses into a single Osmosis Foundation multisig, simplifying access control and making accounting more transparent and auditable without changing tokenomics or rewards.
Osmosis Proposals #998 & #999 - QSTN CosmWasm Contract Upload Permissions: We rejected #998 as a duplicate of #999, and voted NO on #999 to maintain a conservative security posture on open-ended Wasm upload whitelisting - preferring governance review on a per-deployment basis rather than blanket authorization.
Cosmos Hub Proposal #1018 - Increase voting period to 14 days / expedited to 7 days: Voted NO because extending governance windows would slow decision-making unnecessarily, as current Hub parameters are already competitive and healthy.
Dymension Proposal #34 - Enable TEE-Based Fast Finality for RollApps: Approved enabling TEE-based fast finality with verified Intel TDX attestation, improving user experience through faster finalization and withdrawals while retaining core safety parameters like dispute windows and sequencer bonds.
Dymension Proposal #36 - Assigning Beyond Bridge Authority to Governance: Approved transferring bridge permissions under governance control, bringing router, middleware, and fee hooks under transparent on-chain decision-making rather than discretionary admin authority.
Agoric Proposals #114 & #115 - Deploy QSTN Survey Funding & Reward Claim Contracts: We voted NO on both the original submission and its resubmission, maintaining a security-first stance due to the continued absence of independent third-party audit results, not meeting our smart contract safety guidelines.
To close out the year, we also want to share a brief snapshot of our 2025 governance activity as a whole. Over the course of the year, Solva cast 946 votes across 921 distinct proposals, with 25 proposals receiving updated votes.
