OP Stack

OP CHAINS ARE INCREDIBLY AFFORDABLE

✨Today, we launch Span Batches on Mainnet.

The fixed onchain overhead costs for chain operators to run a standard rollup OP Chain will be reduced by over 90%.

Span Batches 🤝 4844

On top of that, we’ll begin to see even more cost savings starting on day one of 4844.

Optimism will be 4844 READY, immediately.

Span Batches will offer significant cost savings in order to operate an OP chain, which means the path to profitability is accelerated.

See how this update will support @modenetwork's mission to build a scalable onchain economy:

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Another round of applause to our Core Devs, Test in Prod, for sticking to the commitment to advance the Collective’s values and tech while bringing Span Batches to life.

Span Batches significantly reduces the "breakeven point" where a chain can be economically sustainable using Ethereum L1 for data availability.

This is a key feature for more experimental chains to launch on Optimism, allowing more apps to launch their own OP Chain!
