@eljunich The Optimism Foundation promotes decentralization in the blockchain ecosystem to remove centralized entities.

[nicolas franco @NicolasIF123]

@eljunich Low hardware requirements due to horizontal scalability and collaboration of multiple blockchains.

[nicolas franco @NicolasIF123]

Superchain was created with the goal of combining the Optimism Mainnet network with OP Chains to form a cohesive ecosystem for internet-level scaling. All Superchain projects will utilize OP Stack solutions for deployment. The vision of the Optimism Foundation is to expand the blockchain ecosystem into a decentralized web, replacing centralized entities with a permissionless protocol. Superchain is designed to be horizontally scalable, requiring collaboration from multiple blockchains. This approach aims to address the limitations of traditional designs, where new chains introduce new security risks to the ecosystem.

The Superchain concept revolutionizes scalability in the Optimism network and blockchains within the OP Chain ecosystem. Inspired by Cosmos and Avalanche, Superchain aims to integrate the Optimism Mainnet with OP Chains to form a cohesive ecosystem. This integration is designed for internet-scale expansion. Projects within the Superchain will utilize OP Stack solutions for simplified deployment on Layer 2 blockchains, while benefiting from shared communication, bridges, security features, governance, and network enhancements. The Optimism Foundation envisions a decentralized web where blockchain technology replaces centralized entities with permissionless protocols, paving the way for a re-architected internet network.

Blob is a specialized tool created to offer temporary storage space for Ethereum applications, with a specific emphasis on Rollup. Initially, Ethereum had a roadmap centered on execution sharding, where each shard could run different programs. However, due to various constraints and risks, the developers shifted focus to data sharding. This decision was made to address the scalability issue for Rollups using "blobs". Data blobs are unique as they are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes on a separate layer, apart from the execution nodes. This setup ensures that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) remains untouched and doesn't store data in blobs. Rollup stands to gain the most from this upgrade.

Blob is a novel data type created to offer temporary data storage for Ethereum apps, particularly Rollup. This format boosts throughput at a lower cost compared to traditional calldata. Call data expenses pose a major challenge for Layer 2 projects, with Rollup alone spending 15,000 ETH. Ethereum initially aimed for execution sharding but shifted to data sharding due to limitations, opting for Rollup scalability via "blob". NFT collections now have their staking platforms.

@domingossalusti Ethereum opted to focus on data sharding instead of execution sharding to overcome scalability challenges and improve network performance.

[nicolas franco @NicolasIF123]

Each shard within the execution shard is capable of running different programs in its designated environment. However, to overcome limitations and risks, Ethereum developers opted for data sharding to address the scalability issue of expanding Rollups using "blobs". Data blobs are uniquely processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes at the consensus layer, separate from execution nodes at the execution layer. This setup ensures that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) cannot access or store data within blobs, making Rollup the primary beneficiary of this enhancement. Data storage is quantified in integer units of blobs, where each blob equals 128 kB. The pricing for utilizing blob resources will vary based on market supply and demand dynamics. The base level includes 3 blobs per block, totaling 384 kB. If the number of blobs exceeds 3, the subsequent blob price rises by 12.5%; conversely, when the number of blobs used is 3 or fewer, the blob price decreases by 12.5%.
