Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) solution incubated at Coinbase, recently spotlighted its unwavering dedication to decentralization, aligning seamlessly with the Superchain vision.

This ambitious goal is anchored in the principle of decentralization, seen as the linchpin for a global, open, onchain economy.
The OP Stack, maintained by the Optimism Collective, is the open-source development stack that powers Optimism. It comprises various software components that together form Optimism’s backbone, designed as a public good for both Ethereum and Optimism ecosystems. The stack’s primary focus is on creating a shared, high-quality system for generating new L2 blockchains.
This coordination on shared standards helps avoid repetitive software creation…
