Layer 2 scaling answer Optimism is set to endure its extremely anticipated Bedrock upgrade on June 6. The transfer is predicted to end in considerably lowered transaction charges, present larger community safety and enhanced compatibility with Ethereum.
The Optimism workforce said by way of a May 15 Twitter thread that the community could be down for two to 4 hours on June 6 because the upgrade goes by means of.
(*6*) an accompanying weblog publish reads.
The official date of OP Mainnet’s upgrade to Bedrock has been set: June 6, 2023 at 16:00 UTC!
The upgrade would require 2-4 hours of downtime for OP Mainnet.

Bedrock was introduced again in May 2022, and it marks the primary major community upgrade that was voted by means of by the Optimism governance council’s Token House.
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 reducing transaction fees using optimized batch compression and Ethereum as a data availability layer; shortening delays of including L1 transactions in rollups by handling L1 re-orgs more gracefully,” the Optimism neighborhood’s Bedrock explainer reads.

Adding to that, the community will even see shorter deposit occasions, with Optimism going from roughly 10 minutes to verify a deposit to simply three minutes, the explainer states.
While node software program efficiency will likely be “significantly improved by enabling execution of several transactions in a single rollup ‘block’ as opposed to the prior ‘one transaction per block’ model in the previous version.”
Another key enchancment considerations the community’s compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the core piece of software program that executes Ethereum sensible contracts.
With Bedrock, the community will take away “multiple deviations” from Ethereum and the EVM which might be presently current with Optimism, akin to differing code, design patterns and transaction per block fashions. “Bedrock also adds support for EIP-1559, chain re-orgs, and other Ethereum features present on L1,” the explainer reads.

ZK Sync period overakes Optimism?
The upcoming transfer to Bedrock comes at a time through which EVM-compatible zero-knowledge rollups (ZkEVMs) have been taking the highlight from Optimistic Rollup options akin to Optimism.

According to knowledge from L2beat, Matter Labs’ lately launched ZkEVM, ZKSync Era, has overtaken Optimism when it comes to community exercise.
Over the previous 30 days, ZKSync Era had seen 7.85 million transactions, in comparison with Optimism’s 7.66 million. Over the previous 24 hours, ZKSync Era had additionally outpaced Optimism in common transactions per second (TPS), at 6.80 TPS in comparison with 2.98 TPS.
The solely attention-grabbing pattern on this boring center May on ethereum is the expansion of @zksync Era, which is now steadily doing extra transactions than @optimismFND and can quickly threaten @arbitrum.
