- Interoperability between the ecosystem’s various Layer 2 chains, such as Base, Zora, OP Mainnet, and others, is something the developers of Optimism plan to do.
- This will entail a fault-proof framework for safe asset transfers, a message-passing protocol, and a universal token standard (SuperchainERC20).
A roadmap strategy for implementing native interoperability across the ecosystem’s Layer 2 chains, including Base, Zora, Mainnet, and others, was disclosed by Optimism developers.
Currently, for safe communication and asset transfer, Layer 2 chains in the Optimism ecosystem, also known as the Superchain, rely on the Layer 1 Ethereum mainnet. This leads to fragmented users and assets. The developers plan to incorporate native interoperability into the Superchain to enable asset and user portability between chains and make them accessible from any place via integrated applications.
Making the Superchain function like a single blockchain and enabling users, assets, and developers to travel between networks with ease is the goal of the interoperability solution.
It must seem as though the Superchain is one chain. To achieve this, the developers said, we want to build a single Superchain that will make it simple for users, assets, and developers to move both inside and outside of the network.
OP The mainnet is the ecosystem’s best network. Layer 2 networks like Base, Mode, Zora, Lyra, and Aevo are examples of further chains. Sam Altman of OpenAI founded Worldcoin, a digital identification network that is also creating a Layer 2 network using the OP Stack.
Dealing with fragmentation
In addition to a universal token standard (SuperchainERC20) to improve cross-chain portability, the implementation includes a protocol to make it easier to create and send cross-chain messages. To ensure safe asset transfers, the developers also hope to implement an interoperable fault-proof system.
The roadmap states that a developer network (devnet) would be created to test the token standard and message-passing protocol. To facilitate real-time cross-chain interactions, a test network (testnet) and the mainnet rollout will eventually come after this.
The proposal also covers the Ethereum ecosystem outside of the Superchain, with the goal of standardizing user experiences by implementing common cross-chain interfaces such as ERC-7683 for asset transfers across ecosystems.
Optimistic rollups are a scalability solution that OP Mainnet and other chains in the Optimism ecosystem operate with. In order to solve Ethereum’s scalability issues, this solution aggregates Ethereum transactions on a secondary off-chain layer and enables less expensive transaction processing.
