Swap Pairs on Optimism

    Q 107. Create a document that includes all addresses for all swap pairs for Sushiswap on Optimism plus the addresses of the two tokens belonging to each pair.

    Introduction to Optimism

    1. Optimism, like Polygon, Arbitrum, and ZkSync, is an Ethereum Layer 2 network.
    2. Layer 1 network is a blockchain in the decentralised ecosystem, whereas a Layer 2 protocol is a third-party integration that may be used in conjunction with a Layer 1 blockchain.
    3. Users can bridge their ETH and ERC20 assets to Optimism using bridges such as the Optimism native bridge, Hop Protocol, Across, LiFi and so on.

    Sushi is drawing back from plans to deploy on Optimism after a dispute over the Ethereum L2 solution’s launch process.

    Sushi had already deployed on Optimism’s testnet to debug, but discovered during a meeting with L2 provider that they wouldn’t be able to launch on Optimism’s mainnet until after Uniswap launched first.

    In March, Optimism announced they would be delaying plans for open access to mainnet in order to make sure that foundational projects, infrastructure providers, block explorers, wallets and token bridges had time to integrate. Optimism referred to this approach as a “community coordinated launch,” where instead of freely opening their platform up to any developers at launch, early adopter projects would be kept on a whitelist and deployed on a rolling basis.

    Mitigating Risks or Bad OpticsOptimism’s incremental rollout makes sense from a security standpoint. With this process, the project can mitigate risks by making sure initial deployments run smoothly before rolling out more.

    Methodology

    For this question, little information can be extracted from Flipside tables, and we mostly use sources outside of Flipside. Probably, the Jason you have only has the tokens, you have to find pairs of tokens that can be swapped together, because Sushi uses AMM, so the pairs will be the same cash pools that were created.

    This bunty was not very difficult on Arbitrum, because the creation of Pairs was created by the Master Sushi Event contract, but such an event cannot be created on Opti. Sushi master router address on Optimism: 0xbE811A0D44E2553d25d11CB8DC0d3F0D0E6430E6

    Conclusion

    Optimism’s incremental rollout makes sense from a security standpoint. With this process, the project can mitigate risks by making sure initial deployments run smoothly before rolling out more.

    But at the same time, in a space where so many people place such a high value on trustlessness and decentralization, optics matter too.

    Arbitrum, a competing Ethereum L2 scaling solution also utilized a whitelist for launch — albeit one open to any developer who requested to be added. The project also prioritized a fair launch model to put all deployments on equal footing.

    A regional chart showing the number of swaps per day in Ethereum vs. Optimism.

    We can see that the number of swaps on Ethereum averages around 60k per day, while the number of swaps on Optimism averages around 40k per day.

    The difference in the number of exchanges between Ethereum and Optimism seems to be closing over time, as the number of swaps on Ethereum has been decreasing recently, while the number of swaps on Optimism seems to be more stable. .
