The Optimism community concluded its “Bedrock” improve on June 7, lowering deposit occasions, decreasing layer-1 charges and enacting further safety features, in response to an announcement from community developer OP Labs. The improve is a part of a sequence of reforms the developer says will assist create a “Superchain” of scaleable Web3 networks primarily based on Optimism’s OP Stack software program.
✅OP Mainnet’s migration to Bedrock has concluded and the Bedrock sequencer has began up.

In a dialog with Cointelegraph, OP Labs CEO Karl Floersch acknowledged that Bedrock implements a number of fuel optimizations the crew found, lowering the community’s information availability charges on Ethereum by 40%. These reductions are handed on to the person within the type of decrease fuel charges on Optimism.
As well as, the improve permits the community to acknowledge chain reorganizations (reorgs) on Ethereum, reflecting these reorgs within the person’s Optimism stability. This enables deposit occasions to be decreased to at least one minute. Beforehand, deposits from Ethereum to Optimism took a median of 10 minutes as a result of want to achieve finality on L1.
Bedrock additionally implements a two-step withdrawal course of to assist forestall bridge exploits.

Along with these instant modifications, the brand new improve paves the way in which for additional growth of the OP Stack sooner or later, with the final word purpose of constructing a multi-network “Superchain,” Floersch acknowledged. It options “modular proof techniques” that enable builders to create and customise their very own blockchain networks. And the software program’s validator element, known as “op-geth,” has lower than 1,000 traces of code that differ from Ethereum’s model, probably making it simple for validators to change to.
On Feb. 23, Coinbase’s Base community introduced that it’ll turn out to be a part of the Superchain as nicely. On Could 24, it laid out a roadmap detailing its plans for mainnet launch.
