Optimism Introduces Blockspace Charters for Superchain Standards
Optimism has unveiled Blockspace Charters, establishing shared standards for the Superchain ecosystem. The Standard Charter requires chains to commit to:
- Shared security protocols
- Collective governance
- Coordinated upgrades
- Maximum decentralization
The Superchain Registry acts as quality control, ensuring compliance. For developers, this means:
- Write once, deploy anywhere capability
- Consistent security
- Predictable upgrades
- Simplified integration
Users benefit from consistent experiences across chains and clear security expectations.
The initiative emphasizes collaboration over competition, with chains contributing between 2.5% of revenue or 15% of profit to the collective.
