Comet Protocol is a cross-chain communication aggregator designed to seamlessly connect Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other Layer 1 blockchains. Inspired by the enduring nature of comets, the protocol aims to enable secure, continuous, and uninterrupted asset transfers across multiple blockchain networks. Its mission is to foster an interconnected and scalable blockchain ecosystem, breaking down barriers between isolated networks to accelerate decentralized finance adoption. The project is currently self-funded and does not have a formal governance process in place. Comet Protocol has not yet issued a token, with the tokenomics still in development.
Pyth Network provides decentralized oracle services for DeFi and blockchain applications, ensuring reliable price feeds by leveraging a network of data providers. Governance is managed through PYTH token holders who stake tokens for voting power via the Pyth DAO Realms platform. With a total token supply of 5.2 billion PYTH tokens, funding includes private sales to support strategic contributors.
Stargate Finance focuses on cross-chain liquidity and real-time asset transfers across different blockchains. Its tokenomics involve governance participation and incentivizing positive behaviors like liquidity provision.

Layer Zero Labs, the developer behind Stargate, has raised a significant $135 million in funding, reflecting strong investor confidence and market interest.
Owlto Finance is decentralized Cross-Rollup bridge, focusing on enabling direct and efficient asset transfers between Rollups. This approach circumvents the traditional need for assets to move through the mainnet, reducing transaction times and costs, and catering specifically to the DeFi, NFT, and DEX sectors' need for seamless Layer 2 asset mobility. Owlto Finance operates without its own token and is self-bootstrapped.
Superbridge is a user-friendly interface designed to facilitate seamless bridging of Ether (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens between Ethereum and various Layer 2 rollup networks, including those built on the OP Stack such as Lisk, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, and Zora. By leveraging native bridge contracts of these rollups, Superbridge ensures secure and efficient asset transfers across supported networks.
Blockscout is an open-source blockchain explorer designed for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-based networks. It provides users with a comprehensive interface to search transactions, view account balances, verify and interact with smart contracts, and engage with decentralized applications across various Ethereum networks, including mainnets, testnets, sidechains, and Layer 2 solutions. Unlike centralized, closed-source explorers, Blockscout offers transparency and flexibility, supporting hundreds of chains and rollups within the broader blockchain ecosystem, such as Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, Avalanche, and Near.
Foundation Missions are Optimism-funded initiatives designed to make measurable progress toward the Season 7 Intent, establishing interoperable Stage 1 chains handling $250M in cross-chain asset transfers per month.
The Retro Funding: Dev Tooling program rewards open-source toolchain software that supports onchain application development on the Superchain, with a budget of up to 8M OP and monthly rewards from March to July 2025.
OP Mainnet, previously known as Optimism, is a Layer 2 scaling solution built on top of Ethereum. It utilizes optimistic rollups to provide faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security of the Ethereum mainnet.
Ink is a Layer 2 blockchain built by Kraken powered by the OP Stack.
