Optimism is being associated with flashbots to renew how transactions are processed in its OP Stack ecosystem, with the aim of making some of Ethereum more popular layer 2 networks more popular and more customizable.
The association focuses on the sequencing, the process behind the scene that determines how fast a transaction confirms, what operations are prioritized and how much users pay. Optimism says that Flashbots infrastructure, which is already responsible for building more than 90% of the Ethereum blocks, will now bring almost instant confirmations and order easy transactions to use each chain of the so -called Superchain.
This is important because the OP Pila supports more than 60% of the entire activity of Ethereum Layer 2, says the optimism team, including some of the layers of layers 2 best known as the base, Unichain, World Chain, Ink and Soneium. Until now, advanced sequencing characteristics, such as ultra fast settlement, front protection and personalized compliance rules, were only available for larger chains with resources to build them internally. With flashbots on board, these characteristics will be available through tools for any project that is built in Optimism’s Op Stack.
Flashbots is better known for its work in MEV, or a maximum removable value, where its Mev-Boost tool has remodeled how the blocks occur.
Some of Flashbot sequencing technologies are already live in Op Stack Chains: Base and Unichain use “flash blocks” to deliver low blocks as low as 200 milliseconds, while Unichain and World Chain are experimenting with order of verifiable transactions and a priority block space, which shows that the transactions are ordered The front.
In the coming months, optimism and flashbots plan to implement Flash and D blocks of advanced sequencing to the main network of optimism and other chains using op stack.
“With flashbots as a central technology partner, we are accelerating the road map for fast, cheap and customizable sequencing in the OP stack,” said Sam Mcingvale, head of OP Labs products. “This is part of our broader mission: give builders the freedom to design their chains in their own way, with an open infrastructure, flexible and proven in production.”
