Alt-DA Mode on the OP Stack

Alt-DA Mode is now available in beta for the OP Stack, allowing any DA layer to integrate its own DA server. Popular DA layers like Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail are already live, offering scalable and secure data availability solutions. This mode protects chains from rising costs due to congestion and provides flexibility in choosing DA layers. Developers can submit transaction batches to alternate DA layers outside of L1, minimizing trade-offs in security and decentralization. Alt-DA Mode's modularity ensures compatibility with future improvements to the OP Stack. Read the full explainer here.
