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 60.1% of all Layer 2 transactions. The Superchain sees 11.5M daily transactions, 54.2% of all Layer 2 transactions. The network boasts 709 Unique Apps, contributing to the Optimism Collective. It is estimated that 469.6 ETH will be contributed to the Optimism Collective in March. Data Fetched from the Superchain Health Dashboard.
Celo has officially joined the Superchain Ecosystem, completing its transition from a standalone Layer 1 to an Ethereum Layer 2 using the OP Stack. This move brings Celo’s large user base—over 1.2 million monthly active users—and its strong public goods and stablecoin infrastructure closer to Ethereum’s core ecosystem. With a focus on real-world utility in emerging markets, and apps like MiniPay and Mento, Celo’s shift marks a major step in expanding real-world adoption on the Superchain.
The transition follows months of technical work, including a full rewrite of Celo’s client using the OP Stack and EigenDA, while preserving the network’s history and improving block times. Alongside performance gains, the upgrade simplifies bridging to Ethereum and supports long-term growth. With Celo’s public goods initiatives and stablecoin ecosystem now integrated into the Superchain, this move strengthens the broader mission of building a more open, accessible, and impactful Web3 infrastructure.

World has released Mini Apps 1.2, introducing major improvements to speed, usability, and customization for the more than 25 million World App users. The update includes 2x faster load times, haptic feedback, widget support, Spotlight search integration, and Mini App reordering—making it easier and more intuitive for users to access over 150 apps built with World ID and the World App wallet. With over 11 million WLD transacted and 2 million daily opens, Mini Apps are becoming a core part of the World ecosystem.
Alongside the update, World is launching a Developer Rewards pilot program starting April 1, 2025. The program will distribute $300K in WLD over three months to developers based on verified human usage of their Mini Apps. The goal is to encourage more innovation within the World Network by supporting builders who create useful, human-first applications. Developers with live Mini Apps can now apply and take part in scaling meaningful onchain interactions. Learn more here.
Shape has introduced $SHAPE, a token that represents belief in NFTs as more than just a trend—they’re programmable, permanent, and owned by those who create and recognize value. $SHAPE is designed to reward onchain creators and collectors through a network where culture is shaped by its participants. The project sees NFTs not as collectibles but as foundational tools for ownership, identity, and expression.
Users can earn $SHAPE by minting their Stack, collecting NFT medals, and climbing ranks through onchain achievements and contributions. Developers can build on Shape L2, receiving 80% of network fees as Gasback, creating a strong incentive to deploy smart contracts. With new claim methods and exclusive drops by artists like Deekay Motion, Shape is building a dynamic system to reward belief in NFTs and expand what’s possible on the Shape Layer 2. Learn more here.
Superseed has released a detailed pre-mainnet AMA, addressing key questions from the community ahead of its upcoming mainnet launch. Users who completed all testnet quests via Layer3 will be eligible for rewards through a points program launching with mainnet. While there will be no airdrop at TGE, the points system will play a central role in rewarding onchain participation going forward. Contributors with roles in Discord will also have an advantage in the program.
The Superseed team confirmed that TGE is close and unaffected by broader market trends or competing project launches. Nearly all ecosystem partners are set to go live on day one. The Genesis Passport, available shortly after launch, will carry benefits in the points program and within partner apps. Superseed’s core app, superCDP, will follow once the chain's DeFi infrastructure matures. Backed by over $6M in funding, Superseed is positioning itself as a unique chain focused on self-repaying loans, powered by Proof of Repayment and network revenues redirected to users.

LiskDAO Season 1 is live, aligning with Optimism Season 7 and focused on supporting founders, growing network usage, and expanding Lisk’s role in the Superchain. Backed by 3.65 million LSK, the program is designed to fund builders, boost Total Value Locked (TVL), and drive real-world adoption. Grants of up to 75K LSK are available for developers and live dApps through milestone-based funding and ecosystem incentives.
Governance for Season 1 is led by the LiskDAO Grants Council and the Steering Committee, ensuring transparent execution and impact evaluation. The season’s five core intents include increasing governance engagement, accelerating builder programs, growing non-LSK asset adoption, contributing to the Superchain, and informing the LSK token burn vote. Developers can apply for funding and join governance discussions through the Lisk DAO Hub, with a progress report set to be published in May. Read the full details here.
