The Superchain is starting to feel inevitable. Bedrock upgrades are live, the OP Stack is expanding across new rollups, Fusaka just unlocked a major data-availability leap, and OP Stack chains now drive nearly 60% of all L2 transactions. Meanwhile, Base is dominating user growth, new bridges are redefining liquidity flows, and OP’s unlock schedule still determines how much fundamentals matter.

This episode breaks down how OP token economics, Base’s rise, and Metal DAO’s hard fork all connect — and what it means for builders, infra teams, and token holders ahead of the next incentive wave.
