We just published a deep dive on @optimism Retro Funding Season 7: Dev Tooling It covers: 1. Which tools got funded? 2. What measurable impact have those tools had on the Superchain? 3. Has it been an effective use of funds? buff.ly/v50SpHY 1/10

TL; DR: Impact measurement is tricky but essential for building systems that work 📏 If you're into causal inference/ experimental design and want to collaborate in a data-rich & iterative environment -- always down to chat 🤝

Working with Open Source Observer and the rest of the Superchain Data standards team (Kofi 🟦 Patterns | Formerly: Tokenguard chuxin 🔴✨ and more) has been a pleasure! Check out this new section in our docs explaining how you can easily analyze AA data yourself docs.erc4337.io/l2s/how-to-cre…

Making a crypto app is usually a whole song and dance, but it doesn't have to be that hard! Today, we're releasing "Trails", a new way for anyone (even non-devs) to build apps and more on any smart contracts - all with just a single copy/paste prompt.

After 10 years, Ethereum's vision is clearer than ever. 👓 It's not about being the world's fastest computer. It's about becoming the world's most trusted and reliable ledger. Our new, 45-page research report, in collab with Onchain Foundation, explores how we got here and where we are
