Seoul, Korea, June 20th, 2024 – Kroma is thrilled to announce its official integration into the Superchain, a significant step forward in Kroma’s mission to enhance Asia’s leading game-centric ecosystem.

What is the Superchain?

The Superchain is a growing network of chains (OP Stack Chains), built on Optimism’s open-source standard codebase, the OP Stack. OP Stack Chains built on the Superchain contribute portions of their revenue back to the Optimism Collective to fund public goods and network development.

Why the Superchain?

By joining the Superchain, Kroma accelerates our goal to become Asia’s leading game-centric blockchain ecosystem. It will broaden game-based DApp adoption, enabling developers to build and deploy applications more efficiently across different layers.

How Superchain?

As part of its efforts to build a game centric blockchain ecosystem, Kroma anticipates the following initiatives and developments:

Kroma Foundation Grant Program: This all-year-round grant program fosters the development of game DApps on Kroma. It identifies and supports innovative DApps that can drive the next-generation narrative and expand the Kroma user community and ecosystem.
Native Account Abstraction (AA): Kroma is working on implementing Native AA to provide a seamless gaming experience. This feature will allow gas fee payment via Paymaster and introduce Web2 familiar methods like social log-ins. It will also enable seamless on-chain transactions and bundled transaction executions, allowing users to focus on gameplay without single transaction confirmations.
ZK Rollup Transition: Kroma is the first to implement ZK Fault Proof, operating in a permissionless manner. The development of our open-source modular ZKP backend library, Tachyon, makes ZK proof generation more cost-efficient and faster. This enables OP Stack chains to transition to ZK Rollup, solidifying Kroma’s role as a key contributor to the OP Stack.

Kroma is also planning to co-host future AMAs and offline collaborations with Superchain partners to foster community engagement and growth.

About Optimism

OP Mainnet is an EVM-equivalent Layer 2 blockchain connected to Ethereum. The OP Stack is a standardized, shared, open-source development stack designed to simplify the creation of production-ready Layer 2 blockchains similar to OP Mainnet. The Superchain is a network of OP Stack chains that share a bridging protocol, governance system, and other integrated features.

About Kroma

As Asia’s leading game centric Layer 2 solution built on the Superchain, Kroma is the first OP Stack rollup with an active fault proof system utilizing zkEVM. Kroma will transition to a universal ZK Rollup once ZK proof generation becomes more cost-efficient and faster, using our original modular ZK backend library, Tachyon.
