To help Layer 3 developers integrate into its Superchain network, Optimism will soon introduce two novel features: personalized gas tokens and plasma mode. These additions aim to simplify registration for L3s using the OP Stack and foster a sense of community within the Optimism ecosystem.

Optimism plans to enable projects developing L3 services to use their existing L2 tokens for gas fees, easing the transition from L2 to L3 and reducing costs.

The rollout of personalized gas tokens will begin soon, providing an alternative data access option through plasma mode, which is crucial for developers seeking cost-effective supply chain solutions.

By directing transactions to L2 instead of the Ethereum mainnet, costs associated with data commitments and throughput routes are significantly reduced, providing more placement options for L3s on the OP Stack.

The introduction of Redstone, the first OP Stack Chain with plasma mode, showcases its potential for enabling more advanced applications without the need for new programming languages.

Optimism continues to work on integrating plasma mode for various DA layers into its Superchain network, aiming to create a chain network sharing an open-source tech stack and providing benefits to the Optimism Collective.
