Hey folks! I'm back after a short break from alpha week, but I've been keeping tabs. Let's kick off a fresh Optimistic Alpha week, delivering both on-chain and off-chain activities and updates to amp up your reputation and rewards in the Optimism ecosystem.
Ready for the scoop? Let's dive into it! 🚀
Earlier this month, Optimism launched the We ❤️ The Art contest, an on-chain creator contest that celebrates creative freedom and invites global creators to express themselves on blockchain technology. With a 1,000,000 OP prize pool split across four categories and 184 potential winners across distinct places and categories.
Prize Tiers:
1st tier: 50K OP prize (1 winner per category)
2nd tier: 20K OP prize (5 winners per category)
3rd tier: 7K OP prize (10 winners per category)
4th tier: 1K OP prize (30 winners per category)
Note: Winners must pass KYC to receive their prize.
Contest Categories:
A.I Art
Generative Art
Music
1of1s (open creator category)
How to Participate?
Create on-chain artwork and deploy it to OP Mainnet using partnered NFT tools and marketplaces.
Submit creations to contest categories by December 13th, 23:00 UTC.
Judging period: Dec 14th to Dec 20th, with winners announced shortly after.
Basically, anyone can participate in this contest, but you need to be creative whether you’re using AI or not.
GL Optimists.
2. ENS domain Launches the EVM Gateway
The idea is to implement a modular CCIP-Read gateway framework enabling L1 smart contracts to fetch and verify the state from L2s on different EVM chains. This is ENS's first step into Layer2s (OP) See announcement.
Key features include:
Modular and interchangeable design for easy operation.
Only one gateway is needed per chain, regardless of applications.
Trustless gateways, with fully verified responses on L1.
Contracts can fetch L2 state using a builder interface, and change targets easily.
Works for both read calls and transactions, offering flexibility.
Usage:
Extend your contract with EVMFetcher.
Use EVMFetcher in a view/pure context to fetch data from another contract.
Callback to your contract, utilizing information from the fetched slots.
There’s also a $4k hackathon prize for the Best use of ENS in the L2 category at the ETHGlobal. See announcement
Optimism has developed a sample dApp and can be found 👇🏽

Earlier this week, OATH announced that Ethos Reserve is leveraging Optimism, using $ERN as the building block. With over $1 of value distributed to Optimism-native DeFi protocols for every $1 of $ERN in your wallet, users enjoy stablecoin yields of up to 10%. Ethos achieves this by depositing tokens as collateral and distributing a portion to trusted Optimism DeFi protocols like @aave, @GranaryFinance, @yearnfi, and @SonneFinance in a low-risk, delta-neutral manner. Managed Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) Vaults enable sustainable yield for $ERN, turning users into LPs across the DeFi industry on the Optimism network. 🚀
OATH Foundation innovates in decentralized finance, optimizing user yields and reducing developer costs. Governed by the OATH token, it oversees protocols like Reaper Farm, Ethos Finance, and Digit.
See official announcement
What is Ethos Reserve?
An efficient stablecoin system, rehypothecating assets with Reaper's tech for competitive rates, longer liquidity horizons, and increased income. 🌐 #EthosReserve #DeFi
Want to get started with OATH Foundation and Ethos Reserve to get these juicy yields in the Optimism ecosystem, start here 👇🏽
Lettice announced the launch of Redstone on the 15th of November. Redstone is an inaugural plasma implementation for the OP Stack, which stands out as a cost-effective chain tailored for on-chain games, virtual worlds, and ambitious applications. Differing from a conventional optimistic rollup, Redstone posts a data commitment hash to L1 instead of the input state, storing the latter off-chain through a Data Availability Provider. A Data Availability Challenge contract on L1 ensures availability, allowing challenges if the provider misbehaves.
In short, the main difference between Redstone and other OP Stack rollups is data availability. Also to note that Redstone is part of the SuperChain.
Are you a game developer and want to start building on Redstone? Kickstart your journey here.
See the official announcement from Lettice.
Ancient8 Chain is a gaming-centric, community-driven Ethereum Layer 2 solution, utilizing the OP Stack. It addresses scalability and adoption challenges for web3 gaming and consumer DApps. With Optimistic Rollups, Ancient8 provides exceptional scalability, reduced transaction costs, and near-instant confirmations.
What’s ancient8 vision?
Ancient8 Chain envisions a Web3 gaming landscape that transcends conventional boundaries. We’re passionate about player-owned economies, NFTs and digital assets. Our mission is to create a fairer and more inclusive gaming world. By building on Ethereum, we’re aiming for mass adoption and democratizing gaming for all. Our belief in Ethereum’s potential drives us to make gaming an exceptional experience for everyone.
Ancient8 already has some dApps like Dojo Launchpad, Space3, Eko ID, PlayNation, and Gosu Network building in the ecosystem. They also raised a total of $10 million in funding; see here.
Ancient8 is currently running a testnet odyssey campaign on Space3; one of the ancient8 ecosystem dApps. You don’t want to miss it.
Access the testnet campaign here, and earn NFTs and Energy points (EP). And if you want to learn more about ancient8, start here.
Mode has launched its’ DevNet after months of testing the chain with the community.
What does this mean?
Mode's developer mainnet launch is a major milestone for rewarding contributors in the Mode, Optimism, and Ethereum ecosystems. The public mainnet, coming in early December, introduces the Sequencer Fee Sharing module and Onchain Referral products. Developers can get support during the Developer Mainnet period, deploying on the secure OP Stack.
Mode also joins the OP Superchain, contributing sequencer revenue to fund public goods. The Sequencer Fee Sharing Module deploys before November 22nd.
Note: What’s more, builders who deploy a contract during the Dev Mainnet period will qualify for a unique Early Mode Builder NFT as recognition for your early support.
You might want to take advantage of the quoted note from Mode. Find guides on how to deploy here.
Lastly, Mode launched a commemorative NFT to signify the launch of the DevNet, which will end in 21 days from now. Find the NFT in Mode official announcement.
Swan Chain launches testnet on Optimism's OP Stack, aiming for an open cloud resource marketplace in the Superchain ecosystem.
Swan chain is a layer 2 cloud computing network that helps Web3 projects to integrate storage, computing, CDN, and payment into one suite.
Some Highlights:
Successful Lagrange Mars Testnet with global participation.
Swan Testnet vision: open marketplace for cloud resources on Optimism.
Features: Multichain Payment Channel, AI/Web3 Computing Support, UBI Trial, Regional Computing Dao Pilot, Referral Rewards.
Swan Jupiter Testnet Campaign will run from Nov 20 to Dec 20, offering 150,000 SWAN in rewards. Early bird registration starts Nov 15, 2023, at 00:00 (EST).
The objective of the Swan Jupiter testnet is to Stress-test features and encourage Computing Providers to join the open cloud resource market.
