We've been getting tons of requests to explain how @optimismPBC's next-gen fault proofs work. The repo fits a bunch into a tiny package.
Well, I have a lot of practice selling the benefits of a small package, so I thought I'd write an oversized thread to compensate.
🧵
Ben Jones from @Optimism announces intent to integrate based sequencing and native execution into the OP Stack, and suggests possible migration of OP Mainnet and other Superchain chains to being based + native.
🎉🥳
When the Superchain launched, critics argued its WIP fault proofs would kill decentralization and spawn sidechains.
Now, two years later, the Superchain accounts for 75% of the Stage 1 chains on L2Beat.
Take the path you believe is right, ignore noise, and ship.
To be explicit -- the OP Stack is a proud public good, MIT licensed to the core, from day 0. The Collective will defend your right to do whatever you want with it to the very end.
The Law of Chains is an opt-in value proposition for those who want to play the positive sum game.
Cannon (CANNON CANNON CANNON github.com/ethereum-optim…) is the world's first EVM-equivalent fault proof implementation.
But it's also:
- a way to run any golang in a rollup
- a mindblowing new FP design enabling optimal data costs
- a new stateless Ethereum implementation
