Base, a well-known Ethereum L2 chain that provides a cost-effective, secure, and developer-friendly environment for on-chain development, has announced an important development The company has successfully implemented the Multi-Chain Prep update as part of its efforts to establish a Superchain with interoperability. This significant milestone was revealed by the platform on its official social media account.
The recent implementation of Multi-Chain Prep upgrade is a crucial step towards achieving an interoperable Superchain. Chains that have undergone this upgrade are now running the code under the hood, ensuring consistent upgrades and enhanced security.
In a recent post, Base disclosed details this initiative and highlighted the successful completion of the upgrade by several chains. It was emphasized that these chains will now operate using identical code, enabling seamless upgrades and bolstering security measures. The platform also shared information about the proposal for this upgrade.
Optimism Foundation, Ethereum-based L2 blockchain solution, introduced an upgrade proposal aimed at improving the upgradability and security of the Superchain ecosystem. This proposal facilitates L1 contracts to be upgraded across multiple chains through a single transaction while allowing different chains to focus on one smart contract implementation.
This enhancement streamlines deployment procedures and simplifies upgrade processes while playing a crucial role in emergency situations where upgrades are necessary due to vulnerabilities in smart contracts. Furthermore, it expands SystemConfig to include contract addresses in the network.
Developers can provide users with access to system contract addresses for an improved experience while addressing rare instances of critical security problems. In such cases, clear communication with partners within its community will be prioritized regarding any decision to cancel an upgrade plan when necessary.
The Multi-Chain Prep update offers atomic upgrades across various chains while minimizing potential exploitation risks for developers.
