Automata Network Joins Superchain Ecosystem

The **Optimism Foundation** announced a planned treasury management operation moving significant funds to OP Mainnet. **Key Details:** - ~$36M USDC being bridged from L1 to OP Mainnet - ~7K ETH also included in the transfer - Part of ongoing treasury management operations - Foundation emphasizes **transparency** in announcing the move This follows the Foundation's pattern of proactive communication about large token movements, similar to previous announcements including a 22M OP token transfer in 2023. The move represents standard treasury operations as the Foundation manages its assets across different layers of the Ethereum ecosystem.

**Optimism's Superchain ecosystem has reached a major milestone**, now processing **58.5% of all Layer 2 transactions** across Ethereum. The network includes major chains built on the OP Stack: - OP Mainnet - Base - Ink - Soneium - Unichain - Others **Key benefits of the Superchain:** - Shared security across all networks - Coordinated upgrades and maintenance - Billions in secured onchain value The ecosystem operates as interconnected chains that benefit from Optimism's infrastructure while maintaining their individual identities. Each network contributes to and benefits from the collective strength of the Superchain.
