Span Batches are now live across Op Chains. This update, part of the Delta network upgrade, drastically reduces the cost of operating a chain by minimizing the amount of metadata that needs to be posted as L1 data. By encoding multiple blocks into single batches, Span Batches cut the fixed cost to run an OP Chain by up to 99%, making it much cheaper to launch and sustain a chain. This development not only accelerates the path to profitability for chains like Mode but also paves the way for more experimental and diverse applications to thrive within the Optimism ecosystem. See how this update will make the Superchain cheaper here.

The 4th Optimism Airdrop has officially gone live, distributing a total of 10,343,757.81 OP tokens to 22,998 unique addresses as a gesture of appreciation to the artists, creators, and pioneers who have significantly contributed to the culture across the Superchain and the broader crypto ecosystem. This airdrop, the first to span across the Superchain, celebrates the collaborative spirit of OP Chains. It underscores the vital role of creative contributions in driving the growth and vibrancy of the Optimism Collective. Read the full details here.

Mode is thrilled to announce the launch of Mode Flare L3s, a Layer 3 network powered by Optimism and Celestia, designed to offer scalable appchains with transaction fees lower than $0.005. Tailored for developers aiming to build high-throughput, low-fee applications like onchain games and exchanges, Mode Flare L3s provide a modular, EVM-compatible platform with rapid deployment capabilities and comprehensive growth support. With the backing of leading infrastructure partners and an initial lineup of launch partners, Mode Flare L3s are set to redefine scalable blockchain solutions. For more details on this launch, read the full announcement here.

Mode is excited to launch DevDrop 1, a unique competition inviting developers to deploy their Dapps and L3s on the Mode Network for a chance to win a share of up to 5% of the MODE token supply. This initiative is designed to fuel the Mode ecosystem's growth by rewarding developers who make impactful contributions. Participants will gain exposure to Mode's 130,000 users and benefit from additional perks like Sequencer Fee Sharing. With a focus on projects that drive real value, including innovative staking protocols, DEXs, lending mechanisms, and more, DevDrop 1 is a call to action for developers looking to make their mark. For full details on how to participate and make an impact, read the full announcement here.

The Optimism Grants Council have closed the first round of Mission Requests. If you're a team interested in participating, the second submission period will open again on March 14th. Stay up to date with everything governance related at charmverse.
