Here's everything that happened across the Superchain ecosystem this past week
๐ฅ Stake-based transaction ordering is now live on OP Mainnet for the first time. A four-week opt-in experiment where staking 100K+ OP earns priority block positioning. Phase 1 is FIFO, Phase 2 introduces stake-time weighted multipliers.
๐ด @Optimism published "The Centralized Exchange Wave." Five of the world's largest exchanges built on the OP Stack: @coinbase (Base), @krakenfx (Ink), @okx (X Layer), @Official_Upbit (GIWA), and @Bitpanda (Vision Chain).

$MTL becomes the native execution layer while XMD becomes the liquidity layer.
Cleaner economics. More aligned incentives.

Metal L2 - Upgrade 19 Proposal is now live, bringing the latest OP Stack improvements including L2CM, Osaka EIPs, Glamsterdam Defense, and CANNON_KONA as the respected game type.
While Metal L2 prepares for the Homecoming migration to the Metal Blockchain subnet, maintaining alignment with the Superchain remains important for operational continuity, integrations, and network security.
We ask the $MTL community to review and vote to ensure the community is aligned.

MIP-002 passing means $MTL now has a much clearer role in the ecosystem:
XMD = liquidity + settlement
MTL = gas + governance
As network activity grows, MTL becomes tied directly to execution demand.
MIP-002 has passed โ
The shift is clear:
โ XMD becomes the core liquidity asset
โ Incentives align around stablecoin growth
โ MTL powers the network as gas
On to execution.
Your keys, your control โ but only if theyโre backed up.
Open WebAuth Wallet โ Settings โ Backup Wallet and secure your recovery info today. It takes a minute and can save your assets later.
Donโt wait until you need it. Back up your keys now. ๐
If you're a $MTL holder please consider voting on Upgrade 19 proposal asap.
This is important to maintain continuity with the OP stack until we move @Metal_L2 to subnet EVM on Metal Blockchain.
