OnChain Indicators of Engaged DAO Voters
Summary:Engaged governance participants were identified as the top 25% of governance voters ranked by voting frequency. Several onchain actions set engaged governance participants apart from the rest, most importantly voting frequency, number of votes, and number of delegates pledged to the participant. Other indicators of engaged governance participants include ENS registrations and the number of decentralized exchange (DEX) trades and NFT activity within the last 60 days.IntroThis research ...

Introducing the Opportunities Feed on Superchain.Eco
We’re excited to roll out the Opportunities feed on Superchain.Eco – a new, dedicated section highlighting ways to earn rewards across the Superchain.

Justin from ancient 8 hopped on OP Radio, giving us an insight into the decision behind their new Layer 2 Chain.
In 2021, Ancient8 began a mission as a Gaming Guild to introduce users to Web3 through gaming.Ancient8 began a mission as a Gaming Guild to introduce users to Web3 through gaming. constantly see the same challenge in Web3 gaming – most blockchains fall short in providing the tech, tools, and community needed for gaming. Ancient8 is launching the Ancient8 Chain, a gaming-focused ETH Layer 2 chain built on the OP Stack.
Ancient 8 has the goal to onboard millions of users into Web3, currently they have over 200k users.In order to achieve this goal, Ancient 8 have formed strategic alliances and developed cutting-edge software products, introducing the Ancient8 Ecosystem of builders. This ecosystem proudly hosts five protocols that serve web3 game studios - Space3, Dojo Launchpad, Eko ID, PlayNation, and Gosu Network. \
Ancient 8 has products built all over the crypto space, but have found that scaling their ecosystem is difficult if it's all over the place. So they found that it made a lot of sense to tie their products together and create a full ecosystem for their partners. Thus, the Ancient 8 chain was born. This move enhances user experiences by curtailing congestion, and ensures a smooth transition for developers thanks to EVM compatibility. The chain settles transactions on the Ethereum mainnet, offering a secure and trusted environment. This endeavor aligns with Optimism's Superchain concept, hinting at a future where varied systems unite to uplift gaming and DApps, making them more interactive and user-friendly.
Ancient8's comprehensive suite of products showcases its vision for the booming web3 gaming market.Ancient 8 Layer 2 chain is currently still on testnet and plans to be on Mainnet in the couple weeks. (Check out the radio show here)

Mode Networks is on a mission to rejuvenate the essence of community within the blockchain realm through its Onchain Cooperative. This cooperative is envisioned as an autonomous association where individuals voluntarily unite to meet their collective economic, social, and cultural needs in a jointly owned and democratically controlled setup. Mode argues that the original sense of community, deeply rooted in shared values and a common goal of altering the global financial system, has faded over time, especially in the cryptosphere. They pinpoint the "Fat Protocol Thesis" of 2016 as an underlying issue, which suggested that the bulk of value in a blockchain ecosystem goes to the blockchain itself rather than the application layer, unlike the web2 model. This thesis, although not entirely precise, is somewhat validated when comparing blockchain fees to total dapp fees in an ecosystem. The fees to the chain almost always exceed the total of all dapps, leading to an overpopulated chain scenario and underpopulated successful dapps. This blockchain-centric value accrual is seen as a significant setback as it fails to reward the community of builders and users who nurture the ecosystem.
The Mode Networks On Chain Co-OP is crafted to encourage a cooperative atmosphere within the blockchain ecosystem, challenging the dominant non-cooperative game theory mechanics often used as success predictors in economics. They've adopted the cooperative game theory approach, which advocates that collaboration often results in the highest joint payoff for all involved, contrasting the zero-sum nature of non-cooperative game theory. Mode has structured its token economy to promote collaboration and reward activity right from the outset. They've embedded onchain mechanics like sequencer fee sharing at the protocol layer, presenting a fresh approach to fair reward distribution for everyone's contribution. This initiative aims to challenge the prevailing confrontational mindset in the industry, aspiring to nurture a community of shared values where the protocol's success is driven by the success of its dapps and every community member. Through the Onchain Cooperative, Mode Networks is not only introducing an innovative framework for blockchain development and user engagement but also invoking a return to the foundational principles that fueled blockchain technology's creation and growth. They aim for a symbiotic growth scenario where the cooperative's growth resonates with every participant's growth, along with the broader Ethereum ecosystem it is anchored upon. (Read more here)

Test in Prod has joined the Optimism Collective as the third core development team, stepping into an initiative aimed at scaling Ethereum and advancing the Superchain. Optimism underscored the importance of having diverse technical contributors to the OP Stack to reduce dependency on any one group, highlighting a step towards more decentralization.
This collaboration reflects a shared dedication to improving the open internet and tackling human coordination issues. Test in Prod extended its gratitude for the trust and mentorship from Ethereum, Optimism, and other partners, showcasing the cooperative spirit driving these efforts. The common aim is to enhance the Ethereum ecosystem by alleviating bottlenecks and promoting an environment aligned with the Collective's values.
