OP Mainnet (Optimism) is an optimistic rollup that batches transactions to Ethereum and relies on fraud proofs submitted during a seven‑day challenge window. The Bedrock upgrade in 2023 cut L1 calldata costs by 40 % and introduced multi‑proof modularity. ‘RetroPGF’ rounds redistribute protocol revenue to public‑goods builders, governed by the OP token‑holder Collective.
Solana combines Proof‑of‑History, Turbine block propagation and Gulf Stream forwarding to achieve throughput exceeding 50 000 TPS with 400 ms block times. The 2024 Firedancer client written in C++ reduced validator CPU requirements and added parallel pipeline execution. Solana Pay and the Saga phone SDK illustrate the project’s push toward consumer‑grade web3 applications.
