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 ...

Redstone is the first plasma-implementation for the OP Stack. Redstone is a super cost-effective chain for onchain games, worlds and other ambitious applications. Redstone differentiates itself from other OP Stack rollups by not relying on Ethereum's Layer 1 (L1) for data availability. Instead, it opts for an alternative Data Availability (DA) Provider, leading to two notable impacts.
Firstly, the cost-effectiveness of Redstone is a standout feature. By replacing the standard L1 Data Fee with input commitments, which are concise hashes of more extensive transactions and blocks, Redstone significantly reduces the costs associated with transactions. This approach not only makes it more economical but also more accessible for a broader range of users and applications.
Secondly, Redstone maintains the integrity of data while altering the availability dynamics. Unlike the traditional Ethereum L1, which guarantees data availability, Redstone does not inherently offer this assurance. However, it does ensure the integrity of the data. To address the challenge of data availability, Redstone has implemented a unique mechanism known as Data Availability Challenges (DA Challenges). This process involves the DA Provider posting an input commitment on the Ethereum blockchain. Nodes can then request this data off-chain. If a node fails to receive the requested data, it can issue a challenge against the input commitment. Should no entity provide matching input, the commitment is discarded. This innovative approach ensures data availability without directly inheriting the guarantees of Ethereum's L1. You can read all about Redstone here.

Mode Network has recently launched its Developer Mainnet. A public launch of the Mode Public Mainnet is scheduled for early December, which will introduce Mode’s Sequencer Fee Sharing module and Onchain Referral products, alongside a suite of growth tooling and grants to support developers with application launches.
The Developer Mainnet period is a phase that allows developers to deploy on the Mainnet while fine-tuning their infrastructure and integrations. Mode’s protocol integrations team is actively supporting builders during this period, whether they are redeploying from testnet or launching new applications.
By running the OP Stack Mainnet configuration, which has undergone thorough audits by both Optimism and Base, Mode has become the newest member of the Superchain. This integration is not just a technical achievement but also a strategic move. As part of the Superchain, a portion of the revenue generated by Mode’s sequencer will contribute to funding public goods within the Superchain ecosystem.
Another key feature to be deployed before November 22nd is the Sequencer Fee Sharing Module (SFS Module). This module will enable developers to register their contracts for sequencer fee sharing, further enhancing the platform's appeal to developers. Read all about the Mode Developer Mainnet here.

Gitcoin is hosting two of its program rounds on the Public Goods Network (PGN) as part of its Gitcoin Grants 19 (GG19) initiative. These two rounds, namely the Web3 Community and Education, and the Web3 Open Source Software run from November 15th to 29th, 2023.
The Web3 Community and Education round, with a matching pool of 200,000 DAI and a 7.42% matching cap, focuses on non-software projects that are propelling the Web3 space forward. This includes initiatives aimed at growing new communities, providing educational resources, creating content, protecting users, and working on inclusion, diversity, and advocacy. The Web3 Open Source Software round, also featuring a 200,000 DAI matching pool and a 7.42% matching cap, is dedicated to funding open-source projects that are either developing on top of or advancing the broader Ethereum and/or web3 industry.

Swan Chain has recently launched its testnet on Optimism’s OP Stack. This launch is a pivotal moment in Swan Chain's mission to create an open marketplace for cloud resources, thereby contributing to the expansion of the Superchain ecosystem. This development comes after the successful completion of the Lagrange Mars Testnet campaign, which demonstrated the network's robust capabilities. During this campaign, Swan Chain deployed over 130 GPUs provided by 28 computing providers across 9 countries and 17 cities, delivering more than 100,000 hours of GPU service and 150,000 hours of CPU service.
The Swan Testnet is engineered to enhance decentralized computing networks. It offers a suite of tools that simplify developers' access to resources across multiple blockchains. The testnet introduces several groundbreaking features. A notable one is the Multichain Payment Channel, built using Chainlink functions, which allows users to make payments with stablecoins like USDC on various networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum. Another key aspect of the Swan Testnet is its commitment to democratizing AI resources. It provides essential computing support to the Optimism ecosystem, empowering machine learning models and Web3 applications. Users can also leverage the Lagrange platform to generate DataNFT, which is backed up to IPFS and Filecoin storage via Multi-Chain Storage and verified by Chainlink Functions.
The testnet also introduces a Universal Basic Income (UBI) Trial, ensuring fair compensation for network providers, even during inactive periods. This innovative approach aims to provide stability and support to providers, offering a basic level of compensation to those who qualify. Additionally, the Regional Computing Dao Pilot Program addresses the need for geographically distributed computing resources within the Swan ecosystem. This program incentivizes computing providers in underrepresented regions, fostering diversity and participation. Read about the Swan Testnet here

🦃OP Stack Events
The Onchain Summit was an exceptional event with some of the brightest minds of the Optimism space. The summit featured a lineup of distinguished speakers, including the likes of Karl Floerschy and Ben Jones, as well as the renowned Vitalik Buterin,
Key discussions were led by notable figures such as Igor Barinov from BlockScout and Bogdan Habic from Tenderly, who explored the utilization of emerging tools in the rapidly expanding ecosystem. The event also featured an insightful OP Chain panel with representatives from Base, Mode Network, and Manta Network, who shared their experiences and insights on launching Layer 2 solutions using the OP Stack.
Remco from Worldcoin shared the challenges and insights from migrating Worldcoin to the OP Mainnet. A special focus was also placed on Rollups-as-a-Service projects, with contributions from leaders at Alt Layer, Gelato Network, Caldera, and Ankr, emphasizing their crucial role in the Superchain ecosystem. They also teased an exciting development from the Superchain ecosystem, with Karl from OP Stack offering a glimpse into what's next. This summit not only served as a knowledge-sharing platform but also hinted at innovative advancements on the horizon for the web3 community.
