- After 3+ years of helping build and grow the OP Stack, I’m stepping away from OP Labs. During my tenure, we scaled the OP Stack from 40K transactions / day to over 15 million transactions / day. A lot changed through that growth and as I reflect on the journey I keep coming back
- naw this ain't it. Ethereum needs developers and should do everything it can to help understand and address their needs. An easy way to disprove the QT is if you remove OP, there are still rollup stacks to build your business on. Remove L1 and what? You settle to s3? Is thathot take ethereum needs OP more than OP needs ethereum and should start acting like it
- We just wrapped up @Optimism's first 12-week Interop Incubator with a final demo day. Over 30 builders across 11 teams worked alongside OP Stack contributors to surface pain points, suggest improvements, all while bringing their interop-enabled apps to life. Teams composed
- Did you know there's no canonical price for ETH on the Superchain? ETH/USDC pools across OP Mainnet, Base, Unichain, and Ink often trade at different prices. Typically, arb bots come in to capture the arbitrage, but price dislocations happen frequently as there's not profitable

We’re seeing early signs of the bundle -> unbundle -> rebundle cycle play out in crypto infra: First, projects unbundled into their own chains. Now, they’re rebundling to benefit from distribution, liquidity, and infra. If you don’t own those, you need to plug into someone who - v4 hooks supercharged by low latency, trust minimized, crosschain composability
- New Superchain Dev Console UI just dropped. Get everything you need to build, launch, and grow your app on the Superchain
- WE ARE STARTING OFF HOT. @Agent9k solved fragmented liquidity on the Superchain. Agent9000 uses Superchain interop to ensure users get the best execution across the Superchain. Behind the scenes Agent9000 teleports tokens to the destination chain, sends a cross-chain message
- Ok this is epic, Base demonstrating their commitment to the app layer. Key Base ecosystem apps like Aero and Moonwell are part of the Base Security Council docs.base.org/chain/security…Base has reached Stage 1 Decentralization We're building the foundation for a truly open, global onchain economy
