Optopia is a modular Layer2 focused on the AI track based on the OP Stack, incorporating the Bedrock upgrade from Optimism. It boasts a reduction in fees of over 95% compared to the Ethereum mainnet. Different from traditional blockchain data storage methods, Optopia ensures the permanent preservation of on-chain data through "permanent file storage" technology backed up by Arweave.
Layer 2 has become the most important narrative of Ethereum. With the implementation of the Ethereum Dencun upgrade, gas fees on Layer 2 have significantly decreased compared to the Ethereum mainnet. According to L2beat.com, since October 2023, the TVL (Total Value Locked) on Layer 2 has increased more than tenfold, igniting users' enthusiasm for Layer 2 participation. Currently, L2beat.com lists nearly 50 Layer 2 solutions with a total locked value exceeding $40 billion. Layer 2 has become the primary recipient of overflow funds and users from Ethereum.
Like Alt competition on L1, which is also unfolding on Layer 2, with Rollup being the main scaling direction. From the initial ZK Rollup and Optimistic Rollup, various solutions like Validium and Volition have emerged, with Optimistic Rollup being the most widely applied. Unlike the previous Alt L1 focusing on competition in transactional DApps like DeFi and NFTs, issues like depin, AI, and storage accompany the narrative of Layer 2 in the new cycle.
How can we cleverly combine Ethereum's robust security to achieve superior performance for Layer 2 and advanced data availability based on decentralized storage, constructing the fastest, most adaptable Layer 2 solution best suited for AI and Depin? This presents a vacuum in the current Layer 2 track, and Optopia, as a Rollup solution, offers a fresh perspective on the integration of AI and blockchain.
The essence of Optopia is to build upon Op Stack, shifting compute-intensive tasks off-chain to achieve efficiency, security, and scalability. Introducing Blob data transaction types further reduces costs and enhances overall efficiency. Integration with decentralized storage solution Arweave ensures data persistence and accessibility. This open and flexible design philosophy enables Optopia to provide excellent performance, minimal costs, and robust security for AI applications, driving advancements and practical applications in artificial intelligence technology.
OP Stack supports the OP mainnet through standardized, shared, and open-source development. It comprises various software components that construct Optimism's L2 Rollup, creating a shared, interoperable, and collaborative L2 blockchain network, aiming to simplify the construction of L2 blockchains.
Optopia chooses OP Stack because it allows builders to easily modify or create modules to meet the specific needs of AI applications designed by Optopia.
Moreover, since its inception in 2021, OP Stack has been a leading Ethereum Layer 2 solution. With high technical completeness and no issues reported through multiple Layer 2 deployments, OP Stack is professional, secure, and widely adopted. Projects like Base and opBNB using OP Stack have generated significant network effects. Compared to other new stack solution ecosystems, OP Stack's track record and ecosystem are more established.
Arweave is an innovative decentralized data storage protocol designed for permanent data storage. Through its unique permaweb, Arweave allows stored data to be accessed in a human-readable format (such as via a web browser), creating a persistent, immutable internet. This capability for permanent storage is revolutionary in ensuring data integrity and accessibility, especially in AI applications requiring high data integrity and persistence, such as personal privacy data protection. Its "permanent file storage" technology differs from traditional blockchain data storage methods, ensuring the permanent preservation of Optopia's on-chain data.
4EVERLAND is a Web3 infrastructure based on blockchain technology, providing developers with convenient, efficient, and cost-effective storage, networking, and computing capabilities. It aims to help developers transition smoothly from Web 2 to Web3, building a Web3 cloud computing platform friendly to Web2. With 4EVERLAND's assistance, Optopia achieves simple website hosting, simplifying the hosting of static frontends on internet computer containers, enhancing development efficiency, and reducing costs.
Optopia's bridge frontend is hosted on 4EVERLAND's RaaS platform, with each 4EVERLAND Rollup equipped with high-performance RPC nodes, blockchain explorers, data indexers, and bridging interfaces for settlement chains. Compared to mainstream L2 Rollup solutions, 4EVERLAND RaaS will further reduce average gas fees by 90% and provide greater decentralization, ensuring security.
Compared to other Ethereum Layer 2 networks, Optopia.ai focuses more on innovating AI standards and exploring AI application scenarios. It aims to pioneer AI application standards and explore various AI use cases, guiding developers to innovate and explore the infinite possibilities of AI models in diverse real-world applications. Anyone can freely participate in building AI-related applications, including but not limited to games, data analysis, natural language processing, computer vision, healthcare, and financial technology. It aims to drive innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, expand AI application scenarios, and improve the efficiency of AI application deployment.
With the successful launch of the Optopia testnet and the upcoming mainnet launch in Q2, market expectations for Optopia's technical strength and market potential have deepened. Optopia adopts a fair launch mechanism, ensuring transparent and fair token distribution without team reservations, investor allocations, or pre-mining plans. Users can earn Optopia points by participating in testnet activities, potentially receiving token airdrops. Currently, Optopia has opened up asset cross-chain and transfer testing functions to the community, laying a transparent and fair foundation for users in the field of artificial intelligence.
Although Optopia faces significant challenges, such as providing innovative solutions continuously in the increasingly competitive crypto market, attracting more AI applications, and finding a balance between technological upgrades, ecosystem expansion, and market fluctuations, it stands at the forefront of Web3 development. By combining AI and blockchain from a new perspective, Optopia aims to establish a transparent, fair public chain for artificial intelligence, providing a developer-friendly environment with robust AI application product infrastructure and incentives, enabling developers to explore the vast potential of AI applications and drive rapid AI development. With the mainnet launch imminent, it's a critical moment for investors and users to closely monitor and evaluate Optopia's long-term development potential.
