We’re excited to introduce an open-source transitive trust algorithm designed to calculate and propagate trust within P2P reputation systems. This algorithm ensures that trust is earned fairly and accurately reflected, particularly in complex, high-stakes environments. We invite you to explore the whitepaper and share your feedback.

TL;DR: Fault proofs are now live on Base Mainnet, marking a key milestone on our path to decentralization. With this upgrade, anyone can now participate in securing Base, creating a more trusted and open economy for everyone.

Today we’re excited to welcome Kraken to the Superchain with Ink: a blockchain powered by the OP Stack.

Hey Everyone 👋

We have been long-time users of blockchains at ETHGlobal. Our hackathons are free to attend, but we require hackers to put up a small, refundable stake to confirm their participation.

Optimism began with a single chain – an L2 called OP Mainnet – a single team, and a single dream: to scale Ethereum. Watching Optimism grow is perhaps the greatest privilege: today, we are lucky to count dozens of values-aligned organizations as members of the Optimism Collective. Over 20 OP Stack Chains have committed to joining the Superchain vision, each contributing revenue towards the Collective’s shared initiatives. With over 39% of all L2 transactions in July, the Superchain is making significant progress toward a future where an abundance of blockchain infrastructure can support internet-level usage.

TLDR: This Onchain Summer and beyond, we want to share what you’re building with millions of people across the world.

It’s not the perfect analogy, but now that I have your attention, read on to understand why I think this is one of the most significant pieces of AI art. Disclaimer: I own pieces from the collection.
