@marcelosmart11 Mục tiêu của tổ chức Optimism Foundation là mở rộng hệ sinh thái blockchain hướng tới web phi tập trung, thay thế thực thể tập trung bằng giao thức không cần phép.
The launch of Superchain marked the beginning of a new era in blockchain technology, aiming to integrate the Optimism Mainnet network with OP Chains to form a cohesive ecosystem focused on achieving internet-level scalability. Projects within Superchain will utilize OP Stack, a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline deployment processes and enhance functionality. This collaborative effort enables the sharing of resources such as communication protocols, security mechanisms, governance frameworks, and network enhancements. The Optimism Foundation's ultimate goal is to propel the evolution of the blockchain landscape towards a decentralized web, fundamentally altering the current centralized internet infrastructure with a permissionless protocol. Superchain's architecture is meticulously engineered for horizontal scalability, requiring the involvement of multiple blockchains operating in parallel. In contrast to conventional approaches, Superchain's innovative design mitigates systemic risks associated with the introduction of new chains by maintaining a unified security model.
The Superchain concept represents a major breakthrough in scalability for the Optimism network and other blockchains within the OP Chain ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from the Cosmos ecosystem and Avalanche's subnet, Superchain aims to integrate the Optimism Mainnet network with OP Chains utilizing different OP Stack technologies. This integration will establish a cohesive ecosystem with the goal of achieving internet-level scaling. Superchain projects will be hosted on the OP Stack, simplifying the deployment process for Layer 2 blockchains and facilitating shared communication protocols, bridges, security measures, governance structures, and network upgrades. The Optimism Foundation envisions expanding the blockchain ecosystem to create a decentralized web, shifting away from centralized entities towards permissionless protocols.
Blob is a dedicated space designed to store temporary data for Ethereum applications, with a focus on Rollup technology. Ethereum initially planned to implement execution sharding, where each shard could run different programs. However, due to limitations and risks, the focus shifted to data sharding for Rollups using blobs. These data blobs are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes independent of execution nodes. This upgrade benefits Rollup groups the most, as the EVM does not store data in blobs.
Blob data type is created for Ethereum apps like Rollup for efficient data storage. Blob format offers higher speed with lower costs compared to calldata. Call data costs are a major expense for Layer 2 projects. Rollup spent 15,000 ETH due to this cost alone. Ethereum initially focused on execution sharding, but due to limitations, they shifted to data sharding using "blob". Ethereum apps now have staking platforms for NFT collections.
@CALOMAMESA Data sharding in Ethereum allows for increased scalability by storing different pieces of data on separate execution shards, improving performance and efficiency.
@6n7800 optimize scalability and performance, allowing for the parallel processing of data across multiple shards to increase transaction throughput on the Ethereum network.
Following the successful deployment of the upgraded version of Dencun, Layer 2 wasted no time in rolling out the update. Prominent projects such as zkSync, Starknet, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism have all released updated versions, resulting in a significant decrease in transaction fees for sending ETH thanks to lower data storage costs. Each execution shard can support different programs, but due to limitations, Ethereum developers have opted for data sharding to address Rollup expansion issues through the use of "blobs". These data blobs are processed, stored, and verified by consensus nodes on a separate layer, rather than by execution nodes. As a result, EVM cannot interact with or store data in blobs, making Rollup the primary beneficiary of this upgrade. Data storage space is now sold in integer units of blobs, with regular transaction fees unchanged. Calldata is charged at 16 gas/non-zero bytes and 4 gas/zero bytes, while only blob transactions will utilize gas fee markets.
