OP Stack Powers 58.5% of All Layer 2 Transactions
🔴 OP Stack Dominance
Optimism's OP Stack has evolved from solving Ethereum's scaling challenges into powering a dominant ecosystem.
The Superchain now processes 58.5% of all Layer 2 transactions, securing billions in onchain value across major networks including Base, Ink, Soneium, and Unichain.
Key achievements:
- Transformed Ethereum's roadmap into reality
- Made blockspace abundant and accessible for billions
- Created shared infrastructure benefiting multiple leading L2 networks
The OP Stack's success demonstrates how collaborative scaling solutions can dominate the market while maintaining shared security and upgrades across the ecosystem.
This past month's Superchain stats should have you feeling optimistic 📈 → $21.7B secured across 32 chains, including @base, @build_on_bob, @inkonchain, OP Mainnet, @Soneium, @unichain, @world_chain_, and others. → 20M+ daily transactions → $5.7B in stablecoins onchain
Find out how the Superchain is becoming a reality. In this video, Optimism co-founder @ben_chain explains how Optimism, @base, @inkonchain, @Soneium, @unichain, and others are building as one ecosystem on a single composable layer where every new feature strengthens the whole.
What began as a scaling challenge became a shared mission. The OP Stack helped turn Ethereum’s roadmap into reality, making blockspace abundant and usable for billions. Today, the Superchain powers 58.5% of all L2 transactions, securing billions in onchain value.
We’re excited to share our 2025 State of Crypto report. This year’s story: the maturation of the crypto industry — with growing institutional adoption, the rise of stablecoins, better infrastructure, new consumer experiences, and long-awaited regulatory clarity. Read the full
16k+ new devs joined Ethereum this year. 31k+ are building. Many of the fastest-growing L2s, including OP Mainnet, @base, @inkonchain, and @unichain, run on Optimism’s OP Stack as part of the Superchain 🔴
1/ New data confirms: @Ethereum is the #1 ecosystem for new developers in 2025.
💬 12% of all daily crypto transactions flow through networks built on Optimism’s OP Stack.
The Superchain is scaling Ethereum and the data tells the story. 🔗 Explore the dashboard → stats.optimism.io Superchain networks built on Optimism's OP Stack, including OP Mainnet, @base, @inkonchain, @soneium, @unichain, and others, now power 58.5% of all L2

We’ve made huge progress bringing the world onchain, but we’re still missing a basic requirement: privacy. Privacy is normal. It’s a human right and will unlock everyday use cases 🧵
The Ethereum Foundation is committed to working alongside the ecosystem to make privacy a priority. Privacy is normal. Privacy is for everyone. blog.ethereum.org/2025/10/08/pri…
🔄 Optimism Foundation Moves $36M Treasury
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 Opens Citizenship Registration for Superchain Governance
Optimism Collective announces its H2 strategic goal: achieving $100M monthly in cross-chain asset transfers across interoperable Stage 1 chains. The Citizens House introduces three stakeholder groups: - Top 15 chains by revenue - Top 100 apps by gas fees - End-users with verified activity Key registration requirements: - End-users must prove human status via WorldCoin - Limited spots available - Sybil protection through HumanPassport screening This follows Optimism's recent $2M bug bounty extension for Superchain protocol upgrades, which has already paid out $2.6M since 2022.
