Automata joins the Superchain
Automata Network is building a machine attestation layer that extends machine trust to Ethereum with TEE Coprocessors. Automata Network will launch Automata, an OP Stack chain, using its native token ATA as a custom gas token, along with the OP Stack implementation of Alt-DA using EigenDA for data availability.
Integrate OP Succint on Conduit
OP Stack chains on Conduit can now implement OP Succint, bringing fast finality, type-1 EVM equivalence and lower fees to their chain. After deployment, Conduit can convert chains to integrate OP Succint and seamlessly switch validation to ZK proofs.
