OP Mainnet Implements Fault Proofs, Achieves Stage 1 Decentralization for Superchain

Jun 10, 2024, 08:03 PM

The OP Mainnet has implemented permissionless fault proofs, marking a significant milestone in its journey toward decentralization. This upgrade, celebrated by OPLabsPBC and various stakeholders, allows users to execute withdrawals from the Layer 2 to Ethereum without needing action from a centralized entity. The introduction of these open-source fault proofs signifies the arrival of Stage 1 decentralization for the OP Stack, a key component of the Superchain. This development addresses previous security concerns and brings OP stack chains closer to fully inheriting Ethereum's security. The OP Stack is expected to roll out to the Superchain next and come to Base soon.
