馃敆 Superchain Reality Check
**Optimism's Superchain vision is taking shape** as multiple Layer 2 networks unite under one composable ecosystem. Optimism co-founder Ben Chain explains how major chains are **building together rather than competing**: - Optimism, Base, Ink, Soneium, and Unichain collaborating - Single composable layer where new features benefit all participants - Shared OP Stack infrastructure strengthening the entire network This represents a shift from isolated L2s to an **interconnected network approach**. Each chain contributes to collective growth while maintaining individual identity. The Superchain model offers participants revenue sharing, development contributions, and access to Optimism Collective benefits like Retro Funding.
