Optimism’s Superchain Generates 14K+ ETH in Revenue

Layer-two blockchain protocol Optimism (OP) asserts that its Superchain offers a new, shared approach to scaling that sustainably benefits everyone. The blockchain protocol made this claim via its official X account after outlining the steps to building sustainable long-term economic growth.

Optimism’s team stated that the revenue generated from OP Chains in the Superchain exceeds 14,000 ETH. The protocol listed several OP Chains, such as Base, Zora, World Chain, Metal, Mode, Redstone, and OP Mainnet.

Additionally, Optimism broke down the steps toward economic growth into four key areas: building an on-chain economy, providing value to builders and users, achieving sustainable long-term on-chain economic progress, and integrating DeFi into the on-chain economy.

Optimism presented these steps while discussing Vitalik Buterin’s thoughts on the types of blockchain applications he’s eager to see. Buterin believes such applications should be sustainably beneficial without compromising the core blockchain principles of permissionless and decentralization.

Buterin cited some of his references in the decentralized apps ecosystem. He sees DEXes as a vital part of the tech, noting that he uses them weekly. The Ethereum co-founder thinks decentralized stablecoins like RAI play significant roles in blockchain adoption, while the polymarket remains a bright idea.

The blockchain expert ranked RAI higher than USDC. However, he acknowledged the latter’s popularity among stablecoin users, given its convenience. Buterin finds USDC especially useful for international donations, offering better convenience than banking.

Buterin’s goal, according to the Ethereum developer, is to make the global economy and society more open and free. He believes that allowing people in the open market to use stablecoins for transactions is a practical use case everywhere. Buterin thinks using USDC on Ethereum is much better than account-to-account transfers inside centralized exchanges.
