@eljunich The Optimism Foundation focuses on developing a decentralized web through blockchain technology to create a more secure and equitable internet architecture.

@GonaGona01 Optimism's Superchain requires multiple blockchains to participate for horizontal scalability and synchronization.

[mmm @mmm1007_1007]

Superchain was founded with the mission of integrating the Optimism Mainnet and OP Chains to establish a seamless ecosystem for internet-level scaling. Projects within the Superchain will utilize the OP Stack for deployment (a suite of tools for streamlining processes and building Layer 2 blockchains). This integration will also provide shared communication capabilities, bridges, security measures, governance structures, and network enhancements. The Optimism Foundation aims to expand the blockchain ecosystem to the decentralized web, replacing centralized entities with a permissionless protocol. The Superchain is designed to be horizontally scalable, requiring collaboration from multiple blockchains. To achieve horizontal scaling, blockchains must operate in parallel, as the hardware requirements increase proportionally to the workload. However, conventional designs face limitations as each new chain introduces a new security model, heightening systemic risk within the ecosystem.

The Superchain concept introduces revolutionary scalability to the Optimism network and blockchains within the OP Chain ecosystem. This innovation is akin to the Cosmos ecosystem and Avalanche's subnet. By merging the Optimism Mainnet network with OP Chains utilizing the OP Stack, the Superchain aims to establish a cohesive ecosystem for achieving internet-scale growth. Projects within the Superchain will operate on the OP Stack, which simplifies the deployment process for Layer 2 blockchains. Furthermore, they will leverage shared resources such as communication capabilities, bridges, security structures, governance, and network upgrades. The Optimism Foundation envisions expanding the blockchain ecosystem to the decentralized web - a reimagined internet network that replaces centralized entities with permissionless protocols.

Ethereum has shifted its focus from execution sharding to data sharding due to limitations and risks. This change aims to solve the expansion problem for Rollups through the use of "blobs". Data blobs are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes independently of the execution layer. EVM cannot access or store data in blobs, benefiting Rollup the most. Storage is sold in integer units of blobs, each equivalent to 128 kB, with pricing determined by market supply and demand.

Blob is a specialized tool created to offer temporary storage for Ethereum applications, with a special focus on Rollup technology. Initially, Ethereum had planned to implement execution sharding, where each shard could run different programs. However, due to various limitations and risks, developers shifted their focus to data sharding and introduced "blobs" to address scalability issues in Rollups. Data blobs are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes independently of execution nodes, ensuring that EVM remains unaffected and does not store data in blobs. This upgrade greatly benefits Rollup technology, allowing for more efficient data storage and processing.

@KellyLarochelle limitations of the network, allowing for parallel processing and increased scalability while maintaining the security and integrity of the blockchain.

@1996Montjo Ethereum transitioned from program sharding to data sharding to improve scalability by dividing the database into smaller, manageable pieces for parallel processing.

@NicolasIF123 Execution shards are designed to support specific programs while adhering to limitations. Each shard has a unique purpose and functions independently.

@NicolasIF123 Shards within an execution shard can run different programs in separate environments, maximizing efficiency and allowing for parallel processing of tasks.

Following the successful deployment of the upgraded version of Dencun, Layer 2 wasted no time in rolling out the update. Projects such as zkSync, Starknet, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism have all launched updated versions, resulting in a noticeable reduction in transaction fees for most of these projects when sending ETH. This cost decrease can be attributed to the significant drop in data storage expenses. Each execution shard can be tailored to support the execution of diverse programs. To address limitations and risks, Ethereum developers have opted to implement data sharding and tackle the scalability issue of expanding Rollups through the use of "blobs". Data blobs have the distinctive trait of being handled, stored, and validated by consensus nodes on the consensus layer separately from execution nodes on the execution layer. This means that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) cannot access or store data in blobs. Rollup stands to gain the most from this upgrade. Data storage space is purchasable in whole units of blobs. Standard transaction fees remain unchanged, with calldata incurring a charge of 16 gas for non-zero bytes and 4 gas for zero bytes. Only blob transactions are subject to fees determined by the gas fee market.

@liz__azs Data sharding in Ethereum means dividing data into smaller parts to run multiple programs simultaneously, enhancing scalability and efficiency of the blockchain network.
