Traders’ optimism has been high in the market of late. Major cryptocurrencies registered their monthly highs recently. BTC touched $24,000 and ETH crossed the $1,750 mark. Amidst this mix was the Optimism protocol which also experienced rapid growth in July.
Optimism has begun showing serious signs of recovery in recent days. The OP token followed suit with a near 90% surge this week. However, there was a decline in its price action which brought OP’s trading value back to $1.63, at press time.
Optimism is set to launch the latest upgrade called Bedrock on its platform. Kelvin Fichter, a developer at Optimism, unveiled key points about the latest upgrade in a recent presentation in Paris.
He compiled important points in a tweet recently for the social media community. The latest upgrade will focus on providing various new opportunities for all dApps based on Ethereum’s L2s.
Fichter claimed that Bedrock is “the most advanced roll-up design ever built.”
Bedrock aims to “squeeze out every last drop” of gas savings when publishing transaction data to Ethereum. It will be the only roll-up design to use Ethereum’s Engine API for consensus/execution client separation.
This set of advantages will look to make Bedrock the most decentralized, fast, and seamless in terms of the L1/ L2 interaction ecosystem.
Fichter further highlighted that the OP Labs are also waiting for the imminent launch of the EIP-4844. This upgrade claims to reduce rollup fees and enable Ethereum to scale without “sacrificing” decentralization.
