Optimism Superchain Governance Framework Discussion
Discussion thread exploring governance models for the Optimism Superchain ecosystem and cross-chain decision making.
discussion·op-collective.eth·Jan 18
Optimism is an Ethereum L2 with a bicameral governance system: Token House (OP holders) and Citizens House.
Discussion thread exploring governance models for the Optimism Superchain ecosystem and cross-chain decision making.
I’m proposing a content-driven initiative to educate, onboard, and activate non-technical users and creators within the Optimism ecosystem using consistent X (Twitter) threads, explainers, and community engagement. Prob…

Just over three years ago, the Optimism Collective embarked on a large-scale experiment in decentralized governance. From the beginning, we’ve been committed to taking “an agile approach to governance—relentlessly iterating until we establish a system which can stand the test of time.” As we experiment, we learn more about the balance of power and other dynamics within our system, an iterative process that allows the Collective to mature and evolve (see Working Constitution). Systems that are...
Thank You A huge thank you is due to delegates and Citizens for their continued dedication to experimentation and iteration. Over the past three years, the Collective’s governance participants have helped establish, boot…

Optimism core developers at OP Labs successfully activated the Isthmus hardfork today, bringing key features from Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade to the OP Stack and the Superchain. The upgrade comes just two days after Pectra went live on Ethereum, making the Superchain the first L2 ecosystem to support Pectra. Included in this upgrade is Base, Ink, OP Mainnet, Soneium, Unichain, and several other OP Stack chains. The Superchain powered nearly 70% of all L2 activity in April (measured by transacti...
The OP Stack is becoming the standard. Standards win because they compound. More OP Stack chains mean more experiments, faster iteration, and unstoppable momentum. The OP Stack powers more L2 transactions than any other framework - 69.9% of all L2 transaction fees are on the Superchain, as is 49% of L2 TVL. From Base, Unichain, and World Chain to Soneium, OP Mainnet, Celo, and Ink, the most serious teams are building on Optimism’s open and modular stack. Together, they are laying the foundati...

With many chains building as one, a new network structure is emerging to solve fragmentation in Ethereum. This network is modular, interoperable, and composable by default. We call it the Superchain: and it changes everything. However, infrastructure alone is not enough. We need new ways to reward those who participate in this shared network. Systems that recognize contribution not to a single app or chain, but to the whole. The Superchain is about building for the long haul, and experimentin...
