One of Base’s core values is building in the open. Base has showcased this by open sourcing its smart contracts and frontend repositories. By sharing its codebase, Base embodies its core principle of building openly, fostering a culture of accountability and creativity. This step is beneficial for developers as it offers a fertile ground to nurture ideas, learn from Base's code, and give back to the ecosystem. The clear nature of this approach ensures a well-versed and engaged community.

The broader impact stretches to the OP Stack and the Superchain ecosystem on Optimism. One could foresee how such practices might inspire other projects within these ecosystems. This could potentially spark a trend of shared knowledge and mutual progress. Moreover, Base's open-source approach could facilitate smoother integrations among different projects, enriching the network's interoperability. This initiative is more than a transparency display; it's a stride towards a collaborative environment that could enhance the standards and functionalities of the OP Stack and Superchain ecosystem. Through this, Base encourages a collective move towards a more open and innovative blockchain ecosystem. (Read More)

Manta has recently decided to transition away from using Op stack, opting instead to embrace Polygon CDK. The decision to move away from Op stack was because Manta wants to focus on enhancing scalability and performance. Manta aims to provide its users with a seamless and efficient experience, and aligning with Polygon’s infrastructure offers prospects for improved network capabilities. (Read More)

Catalyst is a cross-chain Automated Market Maker designed to navigate the multi-chain space. Catalyst is created to tackle the pressing issue of cross-chain interoperability by creating a unified liquidity layer. Catalyst will be integrating with the OP Stack and the Superchain ecosystem. Catalyst will be able to facilitate cross-chain asset swaps between OP Stack-enabled Layer 2 solutions.

This fusion allows Optimism Superchains in the network to effortlessly transfer value and sync liquidity with any Catalyst-enabled chain from the jump, simplifying cross-chain interactions and boosting liquidity movement. By incorporating Catalyst as the liquidity stratum for blockchains crafted using the OP Stack, the objective is to bolster interoperability and the fluid asset exchange within the Superchain ecosystem.(Read More)

You have less than 48 hours to apply to RetroPGF 3. On the Optimism governance forum there is an application review process to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation of all submissions. You can read more about the application review process here. This process is part of Optimism's ongoing efforts to foster community participation and fund projects that contribute to the broader ecosystem.

The Optimism officially announced the Onchain Summit: Superchain Edition at Devconnect Istanbul. The summit aims to bring together ecosystem partners and builders who are passionate about scaling the OP Stack and shaping the Superchain future. The day-long event will feature curated content, engaging panels, and hands-on technical workshops, making it a must-attend for anyone excited about blockchain technology.

We just released our Superchain Eco platform, Check out it out.
