Layer 2 scaling resolution Optimism is about to endure its extremely anticipated Bedrock improve on June 6. The transfer is anticipated to end in considerably decreased transaction charges, present higher community safety and enhanced compatibility with Ethereum.
The Optimism group said through a Might 15 Twitter thread that the community could be down for 2 to 4 hours on June 6 because the improve goes via.
“On improve day, transactions, deposits, and withdrawals can be unavailable at some point of the downtime, and the OP Mainnet chain is not going to be progressing,” an accompanying weblog submit 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 via by the Optimism governance council’s Token Home.
Optimism is slated to learn from decrease transaction charges, which OP Labs — the community’s protocol growth unit — estimates wildrop by 47%.
“Bedrock improves on its predecessor by decreasing transaction charges utilizing optimized batch compression and Ethereum as a knowledge 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 will even see shorter deposit occasions, with Optimism going from roughly 10 minutes to substantiate a deposit to only three minutes, the explainer states.
Whereas node software program efficiency can 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 considerations the community’s compatibility with the Ethereum Digital Machine (EVM), the core piece of software program that executes Ethereum good contracts.
With Bedrock, the community will take away “a number of deviations” from Ethereum and the EVM which are presently current with Optimism, reminiscent of differing code, design patterns and transaction per block fashions. “Bedrock additionally provides help 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 wherein EVM suitable zero-knowledge rollups (ZkEVMs) have been taking the highlight from optimistic rollup options reminiscent of Optimism.
Associated: Ethereum’s Beacon Chain up to date after finality points
In keeping with knowledge from L2beat, Matter Labs’ just lately launched ZkEVM ZKSync Period has overtaken Optimism when it comes to community exercise.
Over the previous 30 days, ZKSync Period had seen 7.85 million transactions, in comparison with Optimism’s 7.66 million. Over the previous 24 hours, ZKSync Period had additionally outpaced Optimism in common transactions per second (TPS), at 6.80 TPS in comparison with 2.98 TPS.
The one attention-grabbing development 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.
