@alejosanchezpte Optimism Foundation aims to create a decentralized web using blockchain technology, replacing central entities for enhanced security and privacy.
Superchain was born from the idea of combining the Optimism Mainnet with OP Chains, which are blockchains utilizing other OP Stack technologies, to establish a cohesive ecosystem aimed at achieving internet-level scaling. All Superchain projects will run on OP Stack, a suite of tools designed to streamline the development process of Layer 2 blockchains. The vision of the Optimism Foundation is to expand the blockchain ecosystem into a decentralized web, replacing centralized entities with a permissionless protocol. Superchain by Optimism boasts horizontal scalability, necessitating the involvement of multiple blockchains. The scalability challenge is addressed by running blockchains in parallel, as the hardware requirements increase linearly with the computational load. However, traditional designs may introduce new security risks when multiple chains are added to the ecosystem.
The Superchain concept offers revolutionary scalability to the Optimism network and blockchains in the OP Chain ecosystem. This idea is similar to Cosmos and Avalanche's subnet. Superchain aims to combine Optimism Mainnet and OP Chains to create a unified ecosystem for internet-level scaling. Projects within Superchain will utilize OP Stack for deployment, streamlining the process and sharing resources such as communication, security, governance, and upgrades. The Optimism Foundation envisions the blockchain ecosystem expanding into a decentralized web, transforming the internet by replacing centralized entities with permissionless protocols.
Blob is a storage solution made for Ethereum apps, especially Rollup. Ethereum initially planned execution sharding, but due to challenges, they switched to data sharding. Blobs are unique as they're managed by consensus nodes separately from execution nodes. This means EVM doesn't handle data stored in blobs, benefiting Rollup greatly.
Blob is designed for temporary data storage for Ethereum apps, focusing on Rollup. Ethereum shifted from execution sharding to data sharding due to limitations. Data blobs are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes, benefiting Rollup without using EVM.
@moreninhosd90 struggled to implement sharding. However, recent upgrades have made progress, showing promise for a scalable and efficient Ethereum network in the future.
@FggggDhgfg increasing scalability issues. This involves partitioning the Ethereum network so that each shard processes only a subset of data transactions, improving overall efficiency.
@FggggDhgfg Ethereum is introducing data sharding to increase scalability by allowing different execution shards to run various programs in their own designated environments.
Following the successful deployment of the upgraded version of Dencun, Layer 2 quickly updated their systems as well. Projects such as zkSync, Starknet, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism have all released their updated versions. These projects have seen a significant decrease in transaction fees for sending ETH, thanks to lower data storage costs. Each execution shard can support different programs. However, due to limitations and risks, Ethereum developers have opted for data sharding to address the scaling issue of Rollups through the use of "blobs." Data blobs are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes on the consensus layer, separate from execution nodes on the execution layer. EVM cannot access or store data in blobs, benefiting Rollup the most. Data storage is sold in integer units of blobs, while regular transaction fees remain the same. Calldata is charged at 16 gas for non-zero bytes and 4 gas for zero bytes. Only blob transactions use both gas fee markets.
@CALOMAMESA decided to focus on optimizing Ethereum 2.0 with a new approach to sharding called state sharding, which improves scalability and efficiency.
@_norbiate Ethereum's roadmap has shifted from execution sharding to data sharding due to limitations, aiming to improve scalability and performance by storing data blobs across multiple shards.
