#### Unfreezing the bridge via L1 soft fork
In order to address the frozen funds, there is a potential final recovery mechanism which has been discussed by the L2 community which we call the “L1 Soft Fork Upgrade Recovery” mechanism. This mechanism enables L1 to initiate a bridge upgrade with a soft fork, bypassing all other permissions within the Superchain bridge contracts. This approach may introduce systemic risk to Ethereum and requires research and community buy-in before implementation. It is not required for implementing the Superchain and is being documented for research completeness. Without further research into the implications and safety, it is not an approach the team currently endorses.
