After a fun run leading Growth at Optimism, I’m moving into an advisor role! It’s been a blast helping bring the Superchain to life! When I joined, the Superchain made up around 16.5% of Ethereum activity. Today, it’s closer to 80%. 4 of the top 5 L2s are now on the Superchain. Base, Kraken, Sony, Uniswap, and World are all building on the Superchain. I had the opportunity to talk to everyone, from institutions to app developers, and genuinely enjoyed every conversation. Huge thanks to the Optimism team, and a lot of love to my team for all their hard work - the sun was bright in our squad pic. Honestly kind of a metaphor, LOL! More soon on what’s next!

I want to get better at sharing my thoughts somewhere. Twitter doesn't feel that productive, or at least my Twitter doesn't, as a place to do it.

Just sharing some Sunday thoughts. Price action can be a bit demoralizing at times, but that’s part of being in this space. Highs and lows come with the territory. I’m still excited about the next 12 to 18 months, even if a breakout likely depends on a return to a risk-on macro. When that happens is anyone’s guess. Glad to see institutions starting to push for better token design. More projects are talking about routing revenue back to the token through buy-and-burn mechanics, creating deflationary models. Institutions will expect to see that kind of alignment. Teams that aren't exploring it over the next year are going to fall behind. On the tech side, we're probably still 18 to 24 months out from real adoption beyond finance. Payments, DeFi, stables, and RWAs are still the best fit for current infra. But teams like Zora, CCP (EVE: Frontier), and Farcaster are starting to break that pattern slowly. Easy to get caught up in price, but the real momentum is underneath. What are you most excited about?

I'm beyond pumped for how 2025 is shaping up for the Optimism ecosystem! 🦄 Unichain 💿 Soneium 🔵 Base 🐙 Ink ⚪️ World Chain & more All will bring different users onchain! ~50% of L2 txns are on the Superchain, and Ink, Soneium, & Uni haven't even launched yet!

The winning thing is a misguided perspective Winning to me looks like: - Ethereum has been able to scale w/ many L2 ecosystems - Those ecosystems are seamlessly interoperable despite stack. - User journeys easily enable anyone w/ a phone to interact and it is still so early.

Unichain is built on the Superchain That means technical innovations introduced by Unichain are open source, and available for any rollup to adopt Because the best way to scale Ethereum is together 🤝

It is controlled by governance, but the system and framework for them to exercise that power hasn’t been built yet. There’s a section in here “Allocation of Protocol Revenue” that is from last year that is helpful. https://optimism.mirror.xyz/PLrAQgE1EGRo7GRrFoztplFChnUZda4DFGW3dkQayxY

Every OP Chain in the Superchain operates under a standardized revenue sharing model with no exceptions or special treatment. The fee split is calculated as the greater of either 2.5% of chain revenue or 15% of onchain profit, defined as fee revenue minus L1 gas fees.

Today we released our latest State of Crypto report. It shares insights on key trends — like stablecoins, L2s, and AI — plus, crypto’s rise as a policy issue, new data on builders and users, and more. 7 takeaways from the report: 1. Crypto activity and usage hit all-time highs 2. Crypto has become a key political issue ahead of the U.S. election 3. Stablecoins have found product-market fit 4. Major scaling upgrades have drastically reduced onchain transaction costs 5. DeFi remains popular — and it’s growing 6. Crypto could solve some of AI’s most pressing challenges 7. More scalable infrastructure has unlocked new onchain applications Read the full report here: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/state-of-crypto-report-2024/

Congrats Worldcoin on the launch of their OP Stack chain to mainnet today! World-class (dad pun) teams like Coinbase, Sony, Uniswap, & Worldcoin are building on the Superchain, making OP Stack the gold standard for scaling Ethereum. It's great to have Sam Altman and Alex Blania building on the Superchain!

🪙 Like with all the other chains, @unichain will contribute the greater of 15% of net onchain profit or 2.5% of chain rev to the Optimism Collective. 🔑 Soon a portal will launch to show who is in OP governed blockspace (key handover), what chain configuration, stage, etc.

Welcome Uniswap’s Unichain to the Superchain—a monumental moment in @optimism’s history! With the OP Stack powering most L2 transactions today, it’s the shared standard for scaling Ethereum—bringing even competitors together for the greater good. More cookin' left to do.

Fragmentation isn’t an issue for long. The Superchain solves for it. I think this time next year a vast majority of L2 transactions will be on OP Stack. Let’s keep tackling interop and thinking bigger than our current technical constraints.

I am excited about the future of the Superchain with interoperability. Check out Supersim (https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/supersim) Supersim is a lightweight tool to simulate the Superchain locally (with a single L1 and multiple OP-Stack L2s). ✨ Features * spin up multiple anvil nodes * predeployed OP Stack contracts and useful mock contracts (ERC20) * fork multiple remote chains (fork the entire Superchain) * simulate L1 <> L2 message passing (deposits) and L2 <> L2 message passing (interoperability)
