[AMA Recap] Kroma <> Optimism

Hello Kroman!

To celebrate Kroma joining the Superchain, we had a special AMA session with the Optimism Team on June 20th! It was an insightful discussion, highlighting our shared goal of mass Web3 adoption. Our speakers included TK (CEO of Kroma) and Emmanuel (Ecosystem Growth Marketing Manager of Optimism).🟢🤝🔴

We collected over 600 questions from the audience before the AMA. Thank you for your incredible support!

Key Takeaways from the AMA:

Mass Adoption Goals:

• Kroma: A Layer 2 solution built on the Superchain, Kroma is dedicated to pushing for a gamified Web 3 experience for mass adoption.
• Optimism: Building the Superchain with a network of OP Stack Chains, funding public goods, and enhancing network development.

Kroma Overview:

• A Layer 2 solution which is the first OP Stack rollup and an active fault-proof system utilizing zkEVM.
• As “gamified Web3,” Kroma targets easy onboarding for Web2 users and ecosystem expansion, leading to mass adoption.

Superchain Overview:

• A network of OP Stack Chains built on Optimism’s open-source codebase.
• Chains share a common code standard and contribute revenue to the Optimism Collective for funding public goods and development.

Optimism Collective:

• An alliance focused on ensuring impact equals profit.
• Revenue generated is fairly allocated to projects and communities working towards common goals.

Kroma’s expectations from joining the Superchain:

• Initially aimed at solving Ethereum’s scalability issues for Web3 adoption. To collaborate with the projects on the Superchain globally to grow the Web 3 ecosystem.
• Goal: Contribute to a larger, more resilient Web3 ecosystem.

Goals for driving Web 3 mass adoption:

• Web3 Gamification:
  Key for transitioning Web2 users to Web3. Focus on casual, fully on-chain games and promotions.
• Mobile-Friendly Environment:
  Prioritizing native account abstraction (AA) and social login.
• ZKP Utilization:
  Enhancing security and privacy through Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
• Tachyon Project:
  A GPU-based acceleration project addressing ZKP’s speed and cost issues, showing promising performance.

Community updates:

• Kroma: Launch of Pro Gamers Season 2 campaign with over 100+ Ore NFTs and 3000+ USDT rewards, and the official launch of KCU. So now users can experience the gamified platform and refine their Ore NFTs in KCU for more valuable Pro Gamer’s Item NFTs.
• Optimism: Onchain Summer and “We love The Art” Creator campaign. Growing the Superchain: more teams, more apps, and more communities joining Optimism.

While the Kroma Team will go to the ETHCC as well, we look forward to seeing the Optimism team and the Superchain projects in Brussels!💚

About Optimism

OP Mainnet is an EVM-equivalent Layer 2 blockchain connected to Ethereum. The OP Stack is a standardized, shared, and 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 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 the generation of ZK proofs becomes more cost-efficient and faster — using its original modular ZK backend library, Tachyon.
Kroma plans to push for gamified web3 experience backed by its strengths in gaming, consumer applications, Asia market, and technical capabilities for true universal web3 adoption.
