# [RFC] Update Crosschain Governance Parameters for Avalanche, MegaETH, Soneium, and X Layer
Secure crosschain messaging is an integral part of Uniswap's governance model. Governance votes like protocol fee adjustments are executed by UNI holders on Ethereum Mainnet and must subsequently be relayed to destination chains.
This proposal updates Uniswap's crosschain governance system to accommodate the latest best practices. Specifically, we propose to:
Transition ownership of the Uniswap v2 and v4 contracts on Soneium and X Layer to CrossChainAccount contracts, which we consider to be the current best practice for executing messages from Ethereum Mainnet on the OP Stack
Migrate the entire messaging system for the Avalanche and MegaETH deployments from LayerZero v1 (part of which is being deprecated) to Wormhole
Note that because Uniswap v3 on both Soneium and X Layer is owned by the v3OpenFeeAdapter, which is owned by the CrossChainAccount, we do not need to change the parameter on v3 on these chains.
Both chains currently use LayerZero v1 for governance messaging. The OmnichainProposalSender contract exists on Ethereum and sends messages to OmnichainGovernanceExecutor on remote chains. Additionally, there exists a second OmnichainGovernanceExecutor on MegaETH which owns the ProxyAdmin contract administering the PositionDescriptor periphery contract responsible for rendering LP positions as NFT's.
| Contract | Chain | Address |
|---|---|---|
| OmnichainProposalSender | Ethereum | 0xeb0BCF27D1Fb4b25e708fBB815c421Aeb51eA9fc |
| OmnichainGovernanceExecutor | Avalanche | 0xeb0BCF27D1Fb4b25e708fBB815c421Aeb51eA9fc |
| OmnichainGovernanceExecutor | MegaETH | 0x8819b86ddF592c3aaAa6f9ec7cE1A0f99FC4322c |
| OmnichainGovernanceExecutor | MegaETH | 0x51F9629C1e75aF07421E662DBEb2B7dc8deDefd9 |
The LayerZero contracts are replaced with the Wormhole bridge infrastructure from uniswapfoundation/Uniswap-Wormhole-Bridge:
UniswapWormholeSender (Ethereum): The existing sender contract already deployed on mainnet will be reused — no new deployment required.
UniswapWormholeReceiver (Avalanche and MegaETH): Uniswap Labs has deployed new UniswapWormholeReceiver contracts on both chains. This proposal will authorize them as the trusted governance executors for each chain. Additionally, the ProxyAdmin owned by the second OmnichainGovernanceExecutor will be unified with under the authority of the UniswapWormholeReceiver on MegaETH.
| Contract | Chain | Address |
|---|---|---|
| UniswapWormholeSender | Ethereum | 0xf5F4496219F31CDCBa6130B5402873624585615a |
| UniswapWormholeReceiver | Avalanche | 0x47eB0Cf11a1626462Da3C830bCDe64c3F582B5a6 |
| UniswapWormholeReceiver | MegaETH | 0xa107580F73BD797Bd8b87Ff24e98346D99F93DdB |
For a detailed discussion of how Wormhole works, please see this report by the Uniswap Foundation's Bridge Assessment Committee.
On both chains, the UniswapV2Factory's feeToSetter parameter and the v4 PoolManager's owner parameter are configured as the mainnet Timelock's alias address.
| Account | Chain | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Alias Address | X Layer | 0x2BAD8182C09F50c8318d769245beA52C32Be46CD |
| Alias Address | Soneium | 0x2BAD8182C09F50c8318d769245beA52C32Be46CD |
This proposal will change those parameters to a CrossChainAccount contract deployed by Uniswap Labs.
| Contract | Chain | Address |
|---|---|---|
| CrossChainAccount | X Layer | 0x044aAF330d7fD6AE683EEc5c1C1d1fFf5196B6b7 |
| CrossChainAccount | Soneium | 0x044aAF330d7fD6AE683EEc5c1C1d1fFf5196B6b7 |
Pre-proposal (already completed by Uniswap Labs):
Deploy UniswapWormholeReceiver on Avalanche C-Chain, configured with the Wormhole Core Bridge address for Avalanche and the address of the existing UniswapWormholeSender.
Deploy UniswapWormholeReceiver on MegaETH, configured with the Wormhole Core Bridge address for MegaETH and the address of the existing UniswapWormholeSender.
Deploy CrossChainAccount contracts on Soneium and X Layer
In this proposal (executed if the vote passes):
Execute nine actions:
(Ethereum) Set Layer Zero "trusted remote" to the OmnichainGovernanceExecutor on MegaETH
(MegaETH) Transfer ownership of the protocol from OmnichainGovernanceExecutor to UniswapWormholeReceiver
(Avalanche) Transfer ownership of the protocol from OmnichainGovernanceExecutor to UniswapWormholeReceiver
(Soneium) Transfer V2 ownership from the aliased Timelock to CrossChainAccount
(Soneium) Transfer V4 ownership from the aliased Timelock to CrossChainAccount
(XLayer) Transfer V2 ownership from aliased Timelock to CrossChainAccount
(XLayer) Transfer V4 ownership from the aliased Timelock to CrossChainAccount
(Ethereum) Set Layer Zero "trusted remote" to the second OmnichainGovernanceExecutor on MegaETH
(MegaETH) Transfer ProxyAdmin ownership from the second OmnichainGovernanceExecutor to UniswapWormholeReceiver
Notable Implementation Details:
Regarding MegaETH "trusted remote" configurations: The OmnichainProposalSender on Ethereum must be configured to send messages to the OmnichainGovernanceExecutor on MegaETH, but not the OmnichainGovernanceExecutor on Avalanche. This is due to our OmnichainProposalSender's configuration on initial deployment. The "trusted remote" is Layer Zero's means of defining which sender contracts may interact with which receiver contracts.
Regarding ProxyAdmin: There exists two ProxyAdmin contracts per chain, one for the NonfungiblePositionDescriptor (V3 NFT renderer) and one for the PositionDescriptor (V4 NFT renderer). The ProxyAdmin of the V3 descriptor is owned a different OmnichainGovernanceExecutor than the OmnichainGovernanceExecutor which owns the rest of the protocol (including the V4 descriptor). We are transferring ownership of all of them to the same WormholeReceiver, which necessitates two separate "setTrustedRemote" actions (one for each governance executor) and two separate ownership transfer actions.
