ChainCatcher news indicates that according to Optimism governance information, OP Labs protocol engineer Mofi has released an upgrade proposal called Granite Network Upgrade. This proposal aims to address security vulnerabilities identified in a series of third-party security audits conducted by Spearbit, Cantina, and Code4 rena. The related vulnerabilities have not been exploited, and user assets have never been at risk. The proposal states that this upgrade will include a series of smart contract upgrades to fix the vulnerabilities found in the audits, as well as an L2 hard fork to enhance the stability and performance of the error prevention system. A permissioned rollback mechanism has been initiated as a precaution to avoid any potential instability during the vulnerability patching process.If the proposal is approved by vote, the Granite Network Upgrade is scheduled to take place on September 10 at 16:00 UTC. This upgrade has been coordinated with Base and Conduit to launch on the internal development network and Sepolia Superchain.

ChainCatcher message, Optimism posted on social media that OP Labs' emerging product lead Tess Rinearson stated at the event that by joining the Superchain, various teams are committed to expanding Ethereum and its value. Recently, three major features were launched on the OP Stack: Fault Proof and Phase 1, Alt-DA Mode (beta), and Custom Gas Token (beta). Next, OP Labs will launch the Superchain Registry, which will support obtaining project information developed and built on the Superchain.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs stated on social media that the Fjord upgrade will go live on the OP mainnet at 00:01 Beijing time on July 11.It is reported that this upgrade will bring new features and reduce costs, including a 20-fold reduction in smart wallet key verification costs through the RIP-7212 precompile; developers can create smart wallet experiences without limitations on scale and cost; more accurate pricing features and more efficient Brotli batch compression, reducing transaction costs by 5 to 15%; and the sequencer drift increasing from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, etc.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, OP Labs has released fault proofs on the OP Mainnet, advancing decentralization to the first phase, which allows the withdrawal of ETH and ERC-20 tokens from the OP Mainnet without a trusted third party, enabling users to challenge and remove invalid withdrawals. The plan is to extend fault proofs to other chains based on the OP Stack, including Base, Metal, Mode, and Zora.It is reported that the second phase of the OP Mainnet aims to achieve complete permissionless and decentralized management solely through smart contracts.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, OP Labs announced that it has launched Fault Proof on the OP Sepolia testnet, stating: "The open-source, fully functional Fault Proof is now live on OP Sepolia. Through permissionless validation, anyone can participate in the system without an allowlist."It is reported that Fault Proof serves as a security mechanism for Ethereum L2 networks, allowing users to challenge potentially fraudulent or incorrect transactions. They are crucial for ensuring that off-chain transaction processing is not manipulated.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs announced on social media that the OP Sepolia testnet will upgrade on March 19 to support a fully functional OP Stack fault-proof version.It is reported that this upgrade will affect cross-chain bridges, CEX, and custom solutions using withdrawals.

ChainCatcher message, OP Labs tweeted that it has released a bug fix that could prevent the eth-optimism SDK from proving certain types of withdrawals. Teams using the SDK should update their dependencies to the latest version, and developers of alternative SDKs should also incorporate similar changes in their code.

ChainCatcher message, OP Labs officially stated that 4844 will go live on OP Chains in sync with the Ecotone upgrade on March 14 at 00:00:01 UTC, provided that the upgrade proposal is approved by Optimism. Node operators need to take measures to prepare for the upgrade. Once the basic Ecotone configuration is set up, nodes will need to configure the new Beacon endpoint. This is because shortly after Ecotone is activated, batch transactions will be sent as 4844 blobs, and the blobs can only be retrieved from the Beacon node.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs announced on social media that Optimism plans to take down the OP Goerli testnet on March 7.OP Labs stated that they have been working with partners for several months to streamline the transition from OP Goerli to OP Sepolia, in order to encourage users with testing and development needs to migrate to the fully supported OP Sepolia testnet.

ChainCatcher message, OP Labs announced on social media that starting from 10 PM today, the OP Mainnet will be paused for 1 hour to test Optimism's event response capability. During the pause, any relevant updates will be posted to status.optimism.io.

ChainCatcher news, Base developer Roberto Bayardo stated that Base and OP Labs have activated the Ecotone hard fork on their respective Goerli development networks and have enabled the functionality to publish batch transactions via EIP-4844 blobs today.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs posted on X that the Canyon network upgrade has been successfully activated on the superchain mainnet, including the OP mainnet. Key changes include compatibility with the Shapella upgrade and PUSH0.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs announced on social media that the deprecation of the Ethereum Goerli testnet, originally scheduled for early January, has been postponed and will cease maintenance after the Dencun upgrade on January 17. However, developers are still advised to migrate from OP Goerli to OP Sepolia as soon as possible to prepare for this change.

ChainCatcher news, according to the official blog, OP Labs stated that the Optimism ecosystem's decentralization roadmap aims to reach the second phase as soon as possible, ensuring that no group of participants can "even consistently publish a state root other than code output."In the first phase, Optimism Governance has approved a 14-member security council to manage the security of the Superchain. A key goal for 2024 is to have this security council manage the ecosystem's upgrade keys under the direction of Optimism Governance, independent of the Optimism Foundation.

ChainCatcher message, OP Labs stated on social media that the Canyon network upgrade for OP Goerli and OP Sepolia is scheduled for November 14, 2023, at 17:00 UTC.It is reported that these versions will lay the foundation for future iterations of the superchain, and node providers and OP Chain operators are advised to upgrade their testnet nodes by November 7 to ensure that the nodes are ready for the network upgrade later this month.

ChainCatcher news, developers of the Base blockchain OP Labs have launched fraud proofs on the OP Goerli Testnet network, aimed at addressing critical flaws in OP Labs software.It is reported that the second phase of OP Labs will focus on achieving decentralization, and ultimately should be able to accommodate so-called "zero-knowledge" proofs as a replacement for fraud proofs.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, OP Labs has hired former Google general manager Prithvi Subburaj as Chief Operating Officer. Prithvi Subburaj held leadership positions in software engineering at Google and was recently responsible for the wireless subscription service Google Fi, working at Google for over 15 years.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs has launched the "Superchain Faucet," which allows developers to obtain up to 1 ETH in funding daily on the testnet using on-chain reputation data.

ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, OP Labs co-founder and CTO Karl Floersch will take over as CEO of OP Labs, while current CEO Liam Horne will serve as a company advisor. (Source link)

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs released an official blog stating that Test in Prod has developed an alternative execution client op-erigon using the modular and open-source OP Stack, which can now be tested on OP Goerli. This allows users to test in the GitHub repository or in the public RPC of OP Goerli in Prod, and will eventually be integrated into the Optimism mainnet.OP Labs stated that the op-erigon development team Test in Prod is a team that is completely independent of OP Labs, showcasing the powerful capabilities of the modular and open-source OP Stack.
