The Superchain is pioneering a new, shared approach to scaling Ethereum’s tech and values in a sustainable way that benefits all builders. The definition of the Superchain is simple: a network of blockchains built on a common standard codebase that share security, governance, and values. The Superchain is a positive-sum network; the success of any single chain benefits all chains in the ecosystem. Today, every OP Chain in the Superchain operates under a standardized revenue sharing model, ens...

Today we are excited to welcome Soneium to the Superchain. Soneium, by Sony Block Solutions Labs, is building an Ethereum Layer 2 using the OP Stack, designed to be a versatile, general-purpose blockchain, that empowers developers, creators and communities, and connects blockchain technology to everyday consumer applications in entertainment, gaming, and finance. It’s an exciting moment in the growth of Optimism and the evolution of the Superchain. By collaborating with this joint venture inc...

On February 9, the Collective marked the launch of its first Security Council with the execution of an onchain transaction establishing a 2/2 multisig that is authorized to sign protocol upgrades for OP Mainnet. The two signers on the multisig are the Optimism Foundation and the Collective’s first Security Council. This onchain milestone follows the successful ratification of the first set of members of the ecosystem’s Security Council in December 2023, and another successful governance vote ...

The Optimism Collective holds a shared, long-standing commitment to scaling Ethereum. From our technology stack to our values structure, it’s core to everything we do. The OP Stack, the open standard codebase that powers development on the Superchain, isn’t limited to L2 chain deployers and app builders; it can also be leveraged by an ecosystem of L3s. Our vision and the definition of the Superchain is expanding as a network of chains that share an open-source tech stack and contribute revenu...

Governance-approved, permissionless fault proofs are live on OP Mainnet, and with them the OP Stack arrives at Stage 1. This is a monumental milestone for the Superchain, and soon more OP Stack Chains will upgrade to include this functionality, starting with Base, Metal, Mode, and Zora. The permissionless Fault Proof System enables withdrawals of ETH and ERC-20 tokens from OP Mainnet to be initiated without involvement from any trusted third parties. It also means that invalid withdrawals can...

Last year, Worldcoin Foundation committed to the Superchain vision for a more secure, decentralized, and equitable internet. As one of its earliest proponents, Worldcoin saw the Superchain’s potential to grow as a network of L2s that share security, a communication layer, and an open-source tech stack. The Worldcoin protocol migrated to OP Mainnet about nine months ago, and today World App is becoming its largest and fastest growing application by transaction volume, and has onboarded over 10...

At its core, Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) embodies a vision of collaboration and collective success. In order to scale the Superchain, impactful work needs to be rewarded. By rewarding contributions that span across the Superchain and the Collective as a whole, we encourage developers, businesses, creators, and educators to continue making contributions towards building a fair, and open internet. Retro Funding is not merely a charitable endeavor; it's building an impa...

For the past month, Lattice has prepared for the public launch of Redstone with its Race to Mainnet, inviting several game developers to build and playtest on the network. Today, Redstone Mainnet is officially live and part of the Superchain, making it easy for anyone to build and deploy onchain games and autonomous worlds. This is the culmination of a year-long development process to build a chain that would support autonomous worlds and MUD applications. Joining the Superchain means that Re...

Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) is an economic flywheel that rewards positive impact to the Optimism Collective. Without public goods funding, core tools and infrastructure required to keep blockchains running and ecosystems thriving might not have the resources for ongoing operations, or building their vision in the first place.

Optimism began with a single chain – an L2 called OP Mainnet – a single team, and a single dream: to scale Ethereum. Watching Optimism grow is perhaps the greatest privilege: today, we are lucky to count dozens of values-aligned organizations as members of the Optimism Collective. Over 20 OP Stack Chains have committed to joining the Superchain vision, each contributing revenue towards the Collective’s shared initiatives. With over 39% of all L2 transactions in July, the Superchain is making ...
