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 63.0% of all Layer 2 transactions and sees 16.4M daily transactions. The network boasts 836 Unique Apps, contributing to the Optimism Collective. It is estimated that 308.6 ETH will be contributed to the Optimism Collective in August. Data Fetched from the Superchain Health Dashboard.
Optimism has invited Ronin Network to build its Layer 2 on the OP Stack, with support from EigenLayer, Boundless Foundation, and Conduit. The move would give Ronin access to high speed transactions, flexible sequencing, and a hybrid optimistic plus ZK design that lowers costs and strengthens security. Ronin can also continue to use $RON as its gas token while benefiting from shared revenue models across the Superchain.
This partnership is about more than infrastructure. It positions Ronin to become the gamification engine of Ethereum, powered by the same stack that already secures the majority of L2 activity. Grants, growth support, and access to the Superchain’s ecosystem give builders the resources to scale new experiences for millions of players. Check out the recent Spaces to learn more.
Soneium Score is built on a simple idea: every action onchain should matter. Instead of transactions being forgotten after a block is mined, the Score turns activity into lasting reputation across the ecosystem. Whether it’s swapping assets, adding liquidity, or minting NFTs, your contributions all feed into a unified reputation that grows season after season.
Each 28-day season introduces new scoring opportunities, exclusive SBT badges, and featured projects to explore. Season 1 highlights Uniswap and Evermoon alongside a wide range of DeFi protocols like Aave, Kyo, Morpho Vaults, QuickSwap, Velodrome, and more. By actively participating, users can build reputation, earn rewards, and shape the future of Soneium while protocols gain direct engagement from highly involved community members.

Flashblocks are designed to bring sub-second confirmations to OP Stack chains, breaking each block into smaller 200ms segments that stream across the network. Instead of waiting for a full block every two seconds, users get near-instant execution feedback, creating smoother UX, more efficient MEV capture, and potentially higher throughput. This “streaming block construction” model turns block building into a continuous assembly line, keeping networks fast and responsive.
The P2P propagation layer is what makes this possible. Authorized builder nodes broadcast partial blocks in real time, using signed messages and coordination signals to keep the network synchronized without conflicts. With built-in reputation tracking, duplicate detection, and seamless failover, the system ensures that block production continues at lightning pace even if one builder goes offline. It’s a new era of high-speed rollup infrastructure that brings Solana-like performance into the OP Stack. Read the full blog here.
