The Optimism Superchain | Layer 2 Review

Quick Reads and Hot Links Covering the People and Projects Who Are Scaling Ethereum


Dear Frens,

In recent months, we have dwelled heavily on major protocol and onchain upgrades. From Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade to Optimism’s fault proofs, we have highlighted their importance, challenges, and some updates to come.

In this issue, we are moving away from software updates to more public goods-related subjects. However, with the Optimism Superchain being the topic of interest, you can say we are still along its borders.

The Optimism Retro Funding Round 4 is here. 10 million OP has been dedicated to rewarding Superchain builders with applications opening in May.

RPGF has become a very important aspect in web3 and protocols like Optimism have been at its center. After discussions in moving from broad to more narrow scoped rounds, we would be witnessing its first iteration with this round. In this issue’s editorial, we give a quick TL;DR into the Superchain vision. Stay strong, stay optimistic, and we hope you have an amazing read. See you in two weeks frens.
