Bittime - Optimism, a provider of Ethereum layer-2 scaling technology, will release new features to make it easier for developers to build layer-3 (L3) applications on their Superchain network. These features are custom gas tokens and Plasma Mode. 

This feature aims to simplify integration and create a collaborative environment in the Optimism ecosystem.

Custom Gas Token

Developers who want to build L3 solutions can now use their own layer-2 (L2) tokens for gas fees (transaction fees). This is expected to make it easier to move communities from L2 to L3 and reduce onboarding costs for new users.

Optimism explains that instead of having to make an expensive L1 transaction to move gas tokens to L2, moving to L3 can be as easy as making a cheap L2 deposit transaction to L3.

This custom gas token feature is in the final stages of development and will be available soon.

Plasma Mode

This feature offers the option of alternative data availability (DA) layers, which is important for developers to launch cost-effective blockchains.

With Plasma Mode, transactions only need to be sent to L2, not to Ethereum Mainnet. This significantly reduces costs associated with data storage and “root output.”

Optimism says, "Low overhead makes L3 a more accessible choice to implement in the OP Stack."

The launch of Redstone, the first OP Stack chain with Plasma Mode, was cited as an example of the potential of this feature. Redstone enables applications with high Throughput (ability to handle transactions) without requiring a new programming language.

Welcoming Developers to a Growing Network

Optimism aspires to build Superchain as a blockchain network that uses shared open-source technology and contributes to the Optimism Collective. 

With these new features, Optimism invites L3 developers to join their network. L3 developers who join will get benefits such as:

• Access to a wide developer network
• Opportunity to obtain funding
• An opportunity to shape the future of scalability in the Superchain ecosystem

Optimism believes that this latest development can make blockchain technology more accessible to a wider range of developers and users. This is in line with their vision to provide technology that is flexible and can be customized according to needs.
