Super Chain ERC-20 Tokens
- Here the SuperchainERC20 docs
- Enhances interoperability with built-in bridge permissions for cross-chain transactions.
- Gradual rollout begins with Optimism and Security Council-governed chains, targeting June 2025 for the first interoperability set. Existing tokens may require upgrades or wrappers.
- Simplifies new token launches (e.g., avoiding USDC migration issues), shared security, and retro funding.
Superchain Ecosystem
- Here The Superchain Ecosystem Index
- Retro funding and shared security as significant benefits, with contributions going towards upgrades that benefit everyone.
- Protocols must update interfaces, and chains joining the Super Chain ecosystem relinquish upgrade keys. Shared security means chains don’t have to handle security themselves, but it comes at the cost of control.
- Exploration of solutions like LayerZero for broader interoperability.
- Current interop set includes Ink and Unichain, with plans to expand.
And that’s it for now frens;
