Contribution

From core protocol development to DevOps tools, Test in Prod builds things that matter to OP Stack. — OP-Erigon: We built OP-Erigon, the first alternative execution client to OP Stack built with the Erigon client. We maintain OP-Erigon by keeping it updated with upstream, supporting more features, building OP-Otterscan, etc. Span Batch: We researched and implemented Span Batch with OP Labs—new batch specs that minimize L1 data cost, initial design by Proto; aims to deploy with Canyon hardfork. Engine P2P Sync: We implemented Engine P2P Sync support for OP-Node that reduces block sync time—e.g., snap sync. Public RPC & Block Explorer: We host OP-Erigon public RPCs & OP-Otterscan on OP Mainnet / Goerli. OP Charts: We built OP Charts, a Helm chart repository for OP Stack infrastructures.

Impact

TiP's impacts focus on technical OPtimization and building tech stacks for OP Stack—some impacts are quantitive, but some should be qualitatively measured. — OP-Erigon: It secures OP Stack with client diversity and allows devs to enjoy Erigon's disk saving; it uses 70% less than OP Mainnet Geth archive nodes, 2.4→0.7TB. Span Batch: It allows low-active OP Chains by cutting minimum L1 fees by ~97% (165→5 ETH a year), expecting to cut OP Mainnet's L1 fees by ~9%. Engine P2P Sync: It allows Geth's snap sync—reduces sync time by ~82% on OP Mainnet compared to the derivation. Public RPC & Block Explorer: It allows devs to test OP-Erigon on OP Mainnet / Goerli—processing 138k req/day. OP Charts: It provides easy OP Stack deployments on k8s. Some devs forked it to build an OP Chain launcher.
