A short time ago, we identified [activity](https://gnosis-safe.io/app/eth:0xdcBF2088B7a6ef91f954bE9Ca658ea5B8E9B62D4/transactions/history) on Ethereum that took Optics v1 [out of recovery mode](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x041431b824598981c28527c6559a29ea035b77992387da75905430cc85d7884b#eventlog), then (while out of recovery mode) [transferred](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x42e4d11148df082cc9bf07395ce068a6e94d4bf359839019ca45124b58198a0c) the recovery manager to the new [community v2 multisig](https://etherscan.io/address/0x2bb2a5a724170357cb691841f40d26a950d8c33d) that was prepared ahead of the launch of Optics v2 today. We obviously welcome these steps as a move toward community governance of Optics v1, which still holds considerable user funds. At this time we still do not know the identity of the holder of the EOA that controls recovery mode on Celo and Polygon, and that previously put Optics v1 into recovery mode on Ethereum. Our recommendation for users remains unchanged and Optics v2 will launch later today.
