This week, the Superchain moved on clarity, not hype. 🟦 @optimism now processes 59%+ of all L2 txs ⚙️ ~21M tx/day, 800+ active apps 🧠 Shared observability arrives via the Messari Optimism Portal 📊 OP Mainnet, @base.base.eth , and the Superchain — one system view At production scale, coordination > throughput. Visibility is now critical infrastructure. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/wd1OxkapBA4?si=PPNSdo6KaujHXzqt https://pods.media/the-optimism-show/why-optimisms-new-portal-actually-matters?referrer=0x7BeC1f3285B83D273d640369282283B233e43786

New 21Shares outlook: most Ethereum L2s won’t survive past 2026. 📉 Usage on smaller L2s down 61% ⚖️ ~90% of L2 activity concentrated on @base.base.eth , @arbitrum , @optimism 🟦 @base.base.eth alone processes 60%+ and was the only L2 profitable in 2025 The L2 market is consolidating fast — liquidity, developers, and revenue are clustering around a few winners. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/g2fSQR0w3FU?si=FvNI_N2QRTMVNAoJ

Today on Project Discovery: @aragon turns DAO governance into plug-and-play infrastructure. 🏗️ Launch a DAO like installing an app 🔌 Token voting, multisigs, ve-lockers, encrypted proposals — no Solidity 🧩 Modular, audited plugins indexed via ENS 🔐 Security reviews from @halborn + @code4rena 🌉 Multichain governance 🛠️ Trusted by @curve, Polygon’s Protocol Council (@0xpolygon), and other major DAOs If you build governance, here’s the signal: Aragon OSx is becoming the modular, auditable base layer to design around. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/XvS_oMzg6us?si=Z33KnNVEbCBEr96T https://pods.media/the-optimism-show/the-easiest-way-to-launch-a-dao-aragon-explained

This week on the @optimism Superchain 🏦 @okxofficial migrates XLayer to the OP Stack — a major enterprise signal 🪙 @etherfi-app weETH becomes OP Mainnet’s liquid staking partner 🌐 @worldcoin ships chat + payments + mini-apps + ID 🛡️ @celo activates OP Succinct Lite (ZK proofs + EigenDA live) 🤖 Surf raises $15M for crypto-native AI research If you build on the Superchain, the signal is clear: The OP Stack is solidifying as enterprise-grade infrastructure — and the surrounding tools (staking, identity, ZK, AI) are becoming production-ready components to design around. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/J3sbh4zg1kI?si=2o8B8rGiBgski7Ie https://pods.media/the-optimism-show/okx-migrates-to-the-op-stack-enterprise-crypto-became-real

@etherfi-app becomes the liquid staking partner for OP Mainnet. 🪙 weETH selected after a full risk-adjusted review 🏛️ Now a core asset for DEXs, lending, custody & DeFi 🔐 Higher security + transparency standards for institutions 🌐 Optimism still pursuing a multi-protocol future If you build on OP Mainnet, this is a clear signal: weETH will be easier to integrate, collateralize, and design around. cc: @optimismshow , @vittoriocappelli https://youtu.be/SyCCTpKwpKw?si=kE-IAKNFcs2BXRTO

There's a real unlock behind publishing content onchain through @zora 🧩 Posts become objects you can move, trade, remix, and build on 💰 Value flows automatically to creators through protocol-level royalties 📚 Every piece of media lives onchain ⚙️ Coins Protocol turns “likes” into mintable actions, tying attention to economics 🌐 Built into the Superchain stack so creators don’t need marketplaces or intermediaries It’s not about platforms anymore, it’s about owning the things you create, and letting the internet do something with them. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/sNbX7BVw1dQ?si=0ZPZlz6OpPPNtncp https://pods.media/the-optimism-show/zora-new-platform-paying-creators-for-every-post

One of the biggest cross-chain moves of the year: 🔵 @base.base.eth just launched a direct bridge to @solana 🔀 Move SOL / ETH / USDC with far less friction 💧 Deeper liquidity, smoother onboarding, new multi-chain DeFi paths Built by teams across Base, Coinbase, Solana ecosystem devs, bridge infra providers, and custody partners — connecting Solana’s ultra-fast execution with Base’s Ethereum-aligned stack. This episode explains what the bridge enables, the risks, and what early metrics will reveal. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/xNASWZ80tKU?si=3-hAXuSvRpTNyVcj

Who here is building on @inkonchain?

Big shifts on @base.base.eth these past few weeks. The chain is moving to a compliant settlement hub for global capital with giants such as JP Morgan participating. New liquidity pathways are built with projects such as @apexfusion, and some of the top tokens are finally seeing consistent movement. Check out this week's BASE Digest for more details. cc: @vittoriocappelli , @optimismshow https://youtu.be/go6w8ER0y1A?si=RfV3-CLCZ1Y-53CX https://pods.media/the-optimism-show/jpmorgan-ai-agents-a-turning-point-for-base-base-digest?referrer=0x7BeC1f3285B83D273d640369282283B233e43786
