$OP dumped by 32% since Base's announcement of leaving Op Stack- Superchain. I was excited for Base being part of the Superchain and they worked together on a single interoperability solution which would improve crypto UX. But since Vitalik's post on L2s and plans to scale

RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth @RyanSAdams · 2026-02-20T18:08:44+00:00

With Base leaving it's worth a retrospective. Why didn't Optimism superchain ever achieve the level of interoperability and shared liquidity to make all OP chains feel like one chain?

Today $OP hit its all-time low below $0.13 after news emerged that #Base is leaving Optimism's Superchain to develop its own tech infrastructure, instead of continuing to build on OP Stack. At the same time, the funding rate on the market has also dropped to an extremely low

I was one of the biggest supporters of the @Optimism collective, I even did free work for them on governance and grant frameworks. Unfortunately the top brass there was more interested in internally rewarding insiders through retro $OP grants than on creating unbiased incentives

Arbitrum $ARB is currently positioned as the "heavyweight" of the Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) world. Though constantly compared to Optimism (OP), their strategies and technical approaches are quite different. 1. Technical Strength and the "Development" Issue Arbitrum isn't sitting

Patrick McCorry @stonecoldpat0 · 2026-02-20T02:20:31+00:00

It’d be a mistake to underestimate the @Optimism folks. They are no strangers to hard times in crypto. Wishing them good fortunes.

unichain gets 68% of fees from automated trading. bots optimize for execution cost, not superchain loyalty. circle gateway integration spans 12 chains including arbitrum and base. provable blockbuilding is their own stack modification. they're paying $600 to optimism at current
