Optimism

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.

Attention app developers: Prepare for Superchain Interop with Supersim, a lightweight tool for local Superchain simulation. Key features include: - Developer-friendly interface - Local Superchain simulation - L2 to L2 message passing testing - Cross-chain feature and app flow iteration **Workshop Details:** - Date: October 23, 2024 - Time: 1800 UTC - Host: @allam_hamdi Supersim allows developers to simulate cross-chain application flows, message passing infrastructure, and OP Stack logic with a single command. This enables local observation of cross-chain interactions and multi-chain app iteration.

The upcoming Superchain Demo Day will showcase presentations from WebHash (@webhash_eth) and TokenEngineering (@tokengineering). This event is part of a series, with previous sessions held on August 15th and September 30th. Key points: - Superchain focuses on Ethereum scalability - Regular demo days feature innovative projects - WebHash and TokenEngineering to present their work Stay tuned for insights into cutting-edge Ethereum developments and potential advancements in blockchain technology.

Tomorrow, the team at Lyra Finance will be joining OP Radio to discuss Lyra V2. The recent vulnerability in Hypr was caused by a bug in a development branch that was patched by the Optimism team in October. The bug was not introduced into any approved releases or pushed to production OP Chains. Developers are encouraged to use releases approved by Optimism governance and improvements are being made to release communication processes.

The Canyon upgrade is coming to OP Chain mainnets soon. Lalalavendr joined StableLab's podcast to talk about governance. Creators will have more time and minting opportunities. DAppscout Marketplace by Blockscoutcom has been launched. NethermindEth now supports the OP Stack. Giveth is participating in the Giving Season. Matchaxyz has some upcoming announcements. CrustNetwork introduces native EVM storage. Parsec_finance launched their explorer with enriched data.

The next episode of OP Radio will be available next week. In the meantime, you can check out past episodes featuring the co-founder of farcaster_xyz on platforms like Youtube, Apple, and Spotify. The NFT version is also available to collect.
