Welcome to Superchain Sunday - our weekly newsletter! Every Sunday, we will provide you with the latest news and updates in the world of the Superchain.
The OP Stack accounts for over 46.9% of all Layer 2 transactions. The Superchain sees 11.7M daily transactions, 42.1% of all Layer 2 transactions. The network boasts 628 Unique Apps, contributing to the Optimism Collective. It is estimated that 322.2 ETH will be contributed to the Optimism Collective in January—Data Fetched from the Superchain Health Dashboard.
100M ASTR is coming to Soneium through community incentives with the launch of the Astar Contribution Score (ACS) campaign. This initiative drives onchain adoption, expands ASTR’s role across Superchains, and rewards ecosystem participation. Unlike typical incentive programs, ACS fosters real engagement by rewarding users for interacting with dApps, providing liquidity, and contributing to network activity. ACS points earned throughout the campaign will later convert into ASTR, creating long-term value for participants.
As the first expansion of Astar Collective into the Superchain, Soneium strengthens ASTR’s role in payments, gaming, and consumer apps. With governance-approved funding from Astar’s treasury, this campaign fuels network activity and adoption. Running from Feb 20 to May 30, the goal is clear—expand the Soneium ecosystem, sustain ASTR adoption, and incentivize meaningful onchain participation. Get involved and start earning ACS today.

Priority Blockspace on World Chain
Automated bots and high-frequency traders dominate block inclusion on many blockchains, often disadvantaging regular users by inflating gas fees and manipulating transaction ordering. Priority Blockspace for Humans (PBH) on World Chain changes this by granting verified humans top-of-block priority, ensuring fairer and more efficient transactions without the need to overpay for inclusion. Developed with Flashbots, PBH prevents exploitation by automated systems and prioritizes real users, making blockchain interactions smoother and more accessible.
Launching on the World Chain Sepolia testnet, PBH is a major step toward human-first blockchain infrastructure. The incentivized testnet, running from Feb 28 – Mar 7 at ETHDenver, will test its robustness under real-world conditions. By integrating with Optimism’s OP Stack and Flashbots’ Rollup-Boost, PBH is designed to enhance blockchain usability and security. With community participation, it will be refined for a future mainnet launch, ensuring a more equitable onchain experience. Read more here.

Swan Chain Economics Cycle
Swan Chain integrates AI, DeFi, and decentralized computing into a seamless token economy. Computing Providers (CPs) supply resources, while SwanFi and Parasail enable staking, lending, and liquidity. Users stake SWAN tokens to earn rewards, fueling network growth and sustainability. With decentralized exchange (DEX) integration, SWAN, pSWAN, and fSWAN remain liquid and tradeable, ensuring market efficiency. Read more here.
Web3 gaming is growing fast, but high go-to-market costs, expensive distribution, and poor visibility make it hard for developers to succeed. Many great games struggle with user acquisition and burn capital just to compete in a fragmented market. Traditional GameFi projects face rising costs and limited exposure, preventing them from reaching their full potential.
BNRY GAMES solves this by integrating directly with major telecom providers in Indonesia and the Philippines, giving Web3 games instant access to 169M users. No downloads needed—games come preloaded, slashing distribution costs and boosting player reach. GameFi studios can now tap into a massive, mobile-first market at a fraction of the usual cost.

Optimism’s Retro Funding is rewarding builders who drive real activity on the Superchain. If your app generates 1,000+ transactions, engages 420+ real users, and sustains at least 10 days of onchain activity, you qualify for a share of 8M OP. This program recognizes impact based on measurable adoption, not promises, ensuring that builders who bring value to the ecosystem get rewarded.
Applications are open from February to June, with monthly rewards starting in March. Once you apply, you remain eligible for the entire season, so even if you haven’t hit the numbers yet, your progress counts. The Superchain thrives on open, permissionless innovation—if you’re scaling on OP Chains, now’s the time to get recognized. Sign up at atlas.optimism.io.
The Superchain has grown to 30 different OP Chains, each with its flourishing Ecosystem. These are some extra stories to make your Sunday that much more Super.
