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 62.5% of all Layer 2 transactions and sees 18.6M daily transactions. The network boasts 873 Unique Apps, contributing to the Optimism Collective. It is estimated that 46.6 ETH will be contributed to the Optimism Collective in September. Data Fetched from the Superchain Health Dashboard.
Season 8 of Optimism Grants is live with 6.29M OP available for builders on the Superchain. This round is focused on growing TVL and AOP in the Interop Set and increasing the share of fees from Superchain applications. Projects that contribute to these goals are encouraged to apply.
This season also introduces an AI evaluator built into the application process. Each proposal is scored against governance intents, Superchain alignment, distribution design, and OP ratios. Applicants receive immediate feedback, and submissions that are not aligned are filtered out. Applications close on November 12. Apply here.
Silent Data has joined the Superchain as the first privacy-focused Layer 2 built on the OP Stack. Developed by Applied Blockchain in London, the network is designed to let organizations run blockchain applications without exposing sensitive information. It combines programmable privacy with scalability, performance, and regulatory alignment, opening the door for enterprise adoption across industries.
The chain is already being tested by companies such as Tokeny and Archax in real-world asset tokenization, Shell in energy trading, and CRYOPDP, a DHL Health Logistics subsidiary, in healthcare and supply chain management. Silent Data also launched with a library of privacy-enabled applications, and its stack can be adopted by other Superchain rollups looking for enterprise-ready privacy solutions. Read more here.
World Build 2 is back, offering founders and developers the chance to create breakthrough Mini Apps for World App’s 30M+ global users. The program begins with a hybrid hackathon in late September, moves into a virtual build phase, and continues with a fully funded residential sprint in Buenos Aires. It culminates in December with a Demo Day at World HQ in San Francisco, where teams present to leading VCs and World senior leadership.
Participants receive mentorship from seasoned entrepreneurs, support from World’s ecosystem and product teams, and access to up to $200K in grant funding from the World Foundation. Previous cohorts have already grown apps to 600K users, raised $11M in venture capital, and secured $300K in equity-free funding. World Build 2 runs from September to December 2025. Read more here.
Flashblocks are designed to bring sub-second confirmations to OP Stack chains, breaking each Polynomial has introduced the Polynomial Trading Bot, an automated system that connects TradingView strategies directly to live execution on Polynomial Chain. By linking TradingView alerts through webhooks, traders can run strategies that execute instantly without needing to be at their desk. This removes the friction of manual trading and ensures that backtested performance has a real chance of playing out in live markets.
Unlike typical bots that rely on centralized exchanges, Polynomial Trading Bot runs on Polynomial Chain, an L2 designed for derivatives trading. Traders benefit from fast settlements, unified on-chain liquidity, and low transaction costs, while maintaining full security and transparency. The bot also supports multiple strategies, position synchronization, and encrypted webhooks, making it a powerful step toward automated, systematic trading onchain. Read more here.
Superseed has launched Seedlings, onchain characters that evolve as users participate in the Seeds Program. Each Seedling begins as a simple avatar and grows by earning Seeds through onchain activity. With every level, new randomized traits appear—eyes, clothes, backgrounds, even quirky accessories—making every Seedling unique. By season’s end, a snapshot captures their final form, which can be minted as an NFT.
Season 1 of the Seeds Program is live with 150M SUPR in rewards, and every onchain action contributes to growth. Beyond the visible traits, Seedlings hint at deeper lore and mystery, evolving alongside the activity of their owners. They’re more than companions—they’re living records of onchain participation.

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.
