TL;DR: Base is gearing up for a mainnet launch with safety and security as our top priorities. Our launch criteria include demonstrated testnet stability, Optimism’s successful upgrade of Bedrock, and completion of reviews and audits. As a reminder, Base has no plans to issue a network token. Earlier this year, we announced the testnet launch of Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network built on the OP Stack that offers a secure and low-cost way for developers to build decentralized apps onchain...

Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF) is one of the leading economic experiments to help decentralize and grow crypto ecosystems. While still in its very early days, the Optimism Collective is excited to lead the charge on RetroPGF experimentation, and we aim to inspire more builders to contribute to the Optimism ecosystem with the hope – and expectation – of getting funded retroactively for their contributions. Why does RetroPGF exist? Without public goods funding, core tools and infra...

Today we invite developers and users to participate in the first of a series of learning challenges or “voyages” across Linea and our partner ecosystem. A key aspect of the Ethereum ecosystem is consistent improvement. When the network was founded in 2015, the Core Developers (Core Devs) and the community had already begun hashing out the roadmap that would lead us to Ethereum 2.0. A better, upgraded version of Ethereum at the time promised three things – sustainability, security and scalabil...

We break down the basics of zkEVMs for all readers, irrespective of their level of familiarity with web3. Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVMs) are seen as a key component of Ethereum’s plan to achieve unbridled scalability. They greatly simplify the process of building for developers, and offer a low-cost and secure environment to innovate. However, it can often be difficult to fully understand what a zkEVM means and to grasp its importance in the next phase of Ethereum’s evoluti...

The Optimism Collective is building community governance through experimentation. This iteration happens through time-bound governance experiments known as “Seasons.” Seasons allow the Collective to test new strategies for incrementally increasing community involvement in the governance of the Optimism Collective, while incorporating reflection and feedback as fundamental stages of the process. This approach is informed by ongoing research into the challenges and successes of other DAOs.Ongoi...
