Layer 2 scaling resolution Optimism is ready to bear its extremely anticipated Bedrock improve on June 6. The transfer is anticipated to lead to considerably decreased transaction charges, present better community safety and enhanced compatibility with Ethereum.
The Optimism staff said by way of a Might 15 Twitter thread that the community might be down for 2-4 hours on June 6 because the improve goes by.
“On improve day, transactions, deposits, and withdrawals might be unavailable in the course of the downtime, and the OP Mainnet chain won’t be progressing,” an accompanying weblog put up reads.
The official date of OP Mainnet’s improve to Bedrock has been set: June 6, 2023 at 16:00 UTC!
The improve would require 2-4 hours of downtime for OP Mainnet.

Bedrock was introduced again in Might 2022, and it marks the primary main community improve that was voted by by the Optimism governance council’s Token Home.
Optimism is slated to profit from decrease transaction charges, which OP Labs, the community’s protocol improvement unit, estimates will drop by 47%.
“Bedrock improves on its predecessor by decreasing transaction charges utilizing optimized batch compression and Ethereum as an information availability layer; shortening delays of together with L1 transactions in rollups by dealing with L1 re-orgs extra gracefully,” the Optimism neighborhood’s Bedrock explainer reads.

Including to that, the community may also see shorter deposit instances, with Optimism going from roughly 10 minutes to verify a deposit, to simply 3 minutes with Bedrock, the explainer states.
Whereas node software program efficiency might be “considerably improved by enabling execution of a number of transactions in a single rollup ‘block’ versus the prior ‘one transaction per block’ mannequin within the earlier model.”
One other key enchancment issues the community’s compatibility with the Ethereum Digital Machine (EVM), the core piece of software program that executes Ethereum sensible contracts.
With Bedrock, the community will take away “a number of deviations” from Ethereum and the EVM which can be presently current with Optimism similar to differing code, design patterns and transaction per block fashions. “Bedrock additionally provides assist for EIP-1559, chain re-orgs, and different Ethereum options current on L1,” the explainer reads.

ZK Sync period overakes Optimism?
The upcoming transfer to Bedrock comes at a time during which EVM suitable zero-knowledge rollups (ZkEVMs) have been taking the highlight from optimistic rollup options similar to Optimism.
Associated: Ethereum’s Beacon Chain up to date after finality points
In response to information from L2beat, Matter Labs’ not too long ago launched ZkEVM ZKSync Period has overtaken Optimism by way of community exercise.
Over the previous 30 days, ZKSync Period has seen 7.85 million transactions, in comparison with Optimism’s 7.66 million. Whereas over the previous 24 hours, ZKSync Period has additionally outpaced Optimism in common transactions per second (TPS), at 6.80 TPS in comparison with 2.98 TPS.
The one attention-grabbing pattern on this boring center Might on ethereum is the expansion of @zksync Period, which is now steadily doing extra transactions than @optimismFND and can quickly threaten @arbitrum.
