3/ For the Race to Mainnet, we collaborated with our launch teams, testing everything from user-onboarding, to wallet UX, to MUD indexing, to Redstone uptime, with playtesting help from World Explorers, WASD, and GG Quest. Everything was designed with MUD & AWs in mind.

5/ In addition to the above games, Redstone will be launching with support from Redstone Market, an NFT marketplace built by Reservoir, Relay, a fast-bridge, Redswap, a DEX running Uniswap v3 contracts, Safe, Randcast, Rainbow as a custom network, and Privy.

6/ Beyond our community of developers building on MUD and Redstone, we need to give a special thanks to @optimism, who helped us build Plasma Mode, the protocol on which Redstone runs. You can read more about Plasma Mode here:

6/ Beyond our community of developers building on MUD and Redstone, we need to give a special thanks to @optimism, who helped us build Plasma Mode, the protocol on which Redstone runs. You can read more about Plasma Mode here: https://specs.optimism.io/experimental/plasma.html

7/ Plasma Mode modifies the data availability dynamics of traditional L2’s. Traditional rollups post the entire input data to Ethereum's L1, incurring significant costs. Redstone, instead, posts a data commitment hash, dramatically reducing the L1 data footprint.

8/ Additionally, Plasma Mode uses a permissionless challenge system inspired by Plasma. Users can challenge a data commitment if they suspect data unavailability / manipulation. Challenges are adjudicated on Ethereum's L1 via a challenge contract, leveraging its robust security.

9/ The Plasma Mode protocol has been merged into the Optimism repo, and Redstone is committing to the Superchain. We are so thrilled to be working with Optimism on bringing Redstone (and Plasma Mode!) to everyone.

10/ Today, we are kicking off the first Redstone Worlds Expo, a series of community-curated spotlights for everyone to play and learn more about the applications launching on Redstone in May.

11/ From May 1st - 15th, you can check the Redstone Community website, where new Redstone games will be featured daily with events around playing, fun facts about the team and project, and livestreams. The schedule for the Redstone Worlds Expo is here:
