Welcome to Superchain Sunday - our weekly newsletter! Every Sunday, we will provide you with the latest news and updates in the world of the Superchain.
The Superchain accounts for over 67.7% of all Layer 2 transactions and sees 17.2M daily transactions. The network boasts 836 Unique Apps, contributing to the Optimism Collective. It is estimated that 368 ETH will be contributed to the Optimism Collective in June. Data Fetched from the Superchain Health Dashboard.
World Chain has introduced Priority Blockspace for Humans, a new system ensuring verified human users get priority access to blockspace, even during high demand. With over 13 million humans now on World, this guarantees faster, more reliable transactions for services like World ID, Mini Apps, and onchain claims without competing with bots or paying extra fees. Built with Tools for Humanity, Flashbots, and Alchemy, PBH is fully open source and designed to keep blockspace fair and accessible.
PBH runs live on World Chain mainnet today, offering a practical, human-first solution for developers and users. It reflects World’s goal of building infrastructure that puts real people at the center of the onchain experience. Read more about it here.
Orderly has launched Stake Wars, a 45-day campaign giving users the chance to compete for a share of 44,000 OP in rewards. From June 26 to August 9, users can participate by staking ORDER tokens and climbing the rankings based on the amount of VALOR they earn. The more VALOR you accumulate, the higher your chances to win OP through lucky draws or leaderboard rewards. There are additional prize pools for new users who stake at least 3,000 ORDER and keep it locked for 30 days, as well as a loyalty bonus for those who extend their stake to 75 days.
The campaign also includes a quick Learn and Earn round running through July 2, where 200 winners will split 4,000 OP simply by following Orderly on social media, retweeting the campaign, and completing a short quiz. With multiple ways to earn and no upper staking limit, this is a prime opportunity for both new and existing users to compete, stake, and earn. Start earning by staking here.

Three months after Optimism experimented with Futarchy to allocate growth grants, the early results are here. Both Futarchy forecasters and the Grants Council selected five projects each, with some overlap, and their impact on Superchain TVL growth has now been analyzed. Projects chosen by Futarchy appeared to generate a higher increase in TVL overall, although results varied widely, highlighting both the potential and the risks of this forecasting-driven approach.
The experiment also revealed that prediction estimates from Futarchy participants were consistently higher than actual outcomes, pointing to possible incentives to overstate predictions in the play-money setup. Despite these quirks, the data suggests Futarchy performed at least as well as traditional methods in identifying promising projects for Superchain growth. Optimism plans to refine the process and continue testing. Read the full results here.
The Superchain has grown to 33 different OP Chains, each with its flourishing Ecosystem. These are some extra stories to make your Sunday that much more Super.
