TON flips ETH in daily active addresses, but that’s not the full picture

TON has seen more daily active addresses than Ethereum in 10 of the last 11 days — however, that figure doesn’t include Ethereum layer 2s.

Update June 13, 08:40 am UTC: This article headline has been updated to clarify TON has recorded more active addresses 

Telegram’s “The Open Network” (TON) blockchain has recorded more daily active addresses than Ethereum nearly every day this month.

One firm suggests it could be a quiet “flippening” fueled by a massive user base. Though, one could argue the data doesn’t show the full picture either.

Optimism reaches ‘Stage 1’ decentralization, implementing fault proofs

The team has implemented fault proofs on Optimism mainnet, and users can now independently initiate withdrawals “without involvement from any trusted third parties.”

Ethereum layer-2 Optimism has implemented fault proofs into its smart contracts, according to its development team, OP Labs. According to the team, Optimism has now reached “Stage 1” of decentralization, referring to a list of milestones articulated by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

At least four other OP Stack networks will implement the fault proofs “soon,” including Base, Metal, Mode, and Zora.

On Optimism, users can now initiate withdrawals of Ether (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens “without involvement from any trusted third parties,” OP Labs said in a post. In addition, if the team’s sequencer attempts to process invalid withdrawals, they can be “challenged and removed” by any user who submits a fault-proof showing that the withdrawal is invalid.

Base TVL surges to $8B just days after overtaking OP Mainnet

Base has topped Ethereum layer 2 leaderboards by transaction count and has been the most profitable Ethereum scaler for three consecutive months.

Total value locked on the Ethereum layer-2 network Base has surpassed $8 billion — only days after overtaking Optimism’s OP Mainnet.

L2Beat data shows its TVL as of June 10 is now at $8.05 billion, including $2.14 billion of canonically bridged value — assets locked on Ethereum to be represented on Base — and $5.92 billion in natively minted assets.

The Coinbase-supported chain surpassed OP Mainnet as the largest chain within the Superchain ecosystem last week and is now the second-largest Ethereum scaler in TVL, trailing Arbitrum One’s $18.27 billion.

Optimism to roll out new Superchain features for layer-3 devs

The layer-2 Ethereum scaling provider wants to onboard developers to build layer-3 DApps on its Superchain.
