Scoring Autonomous Agents on Optimism
Optimism is the birthplace of the OP Stack and the anchor of the Superchain vision — a network of interoperable L2 chains sharing security and sequencing. Its retroactive public goods funding model attracts mission-driven agent builders, and its growing DeFi ecosystem provides the liquidity agents need to operate at scale.

Why Agents Choose Optimism
Optimism's OP Stack is the most forked L2 framework in existence — Base, Zora, and Mode are all OP Stack chains. This means agents deployed on Optimism can port to any Superchain member with minimal code changes. The chain's Bedrock upgrade slashed gas costs by 90% and its partnership with Chainlink CCIP enables native cross-chain agent communication. RetroPGF grants have funded several open-source agent frameworks that call Optimism home.

Optimism Agent Ecosystem
Optimism hosts a mix of DeFi automation agents and public goods infrastructure bots.
