- Superswaps allow seamless native token swaps across the Optimism Superchain without bridges or wrapping.
- Liquidity providers can deploy once and reach multiple chains through Velodrome’s unified infrastructure.
After becoming the backbone of DeFi on the Optimism network, Velodrome is now launching a new feature called Superswaps. They want to unify the native token swap experience from various OP Stack networks such as OP Mainnet, Base, Ink, Unichain, and also Celo—directly from one place, without the hassle of sending here and there.

Making Cross-Chain Swaps Feel Like a Single-Click Experience
If in the past users had to go back and forth between applications or look for bridges to exchange tokens across networks, now that’s no longer the case. Superswaps allows users to exchange tokens instantly in the Superchain ecosystem. Even its liquidity can be used together, without having to be spread across many networks.
From a technical perspective, Velodrome relies on bridges like Hyperlane to ensure transactions remain safe and fast. But for ordinary users, this process feels very smooth, just click, wait a moment, and it’s done.
Not only that, this step is also part of a big vision to make Optimism Superchain a truly connected ecosystem. This means that not only experienced developers or traders can feel the benefits, but also new users who want to swap tokens without any hassle. Velodrome opens its doors to all—whether from OP, Base, or Celo—without confusing technical limitations.
Optimism Prepares for a New Era of Participation and Automation
On the other hand, this cross-network collaboration does not work alone. CNF reported a few days ago that Earned Network also joined in driving Superchain adoption through their automation platform, Earned Automation.
Its function is simple but much needed: to automate cross-network yield farming strategies. So it’s not just about swaps, but also about results. Anyone, even those without a crypto background, can activate a passive income strategy with just a few clicks.
Furthermore, these innovations come at an interesting time. Optimism itself is preparing to run a new governance system on August 1, 2025. No longer just a token holder vote, but involving various parties: users, developers, and network operators. You could say this is not an ordinary update, but a kind of restructuring of the way decisions are made in the Optimism world.
This combination—between intuitive swap features, yield automation, and participatory governance—is a strong signal of the future direction of this ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the OP token is trading around $0.5426, down 1.32% in the past 24 hours. However, its daily trading volume remains high, reaching $129.80 million, indicating that despite the price correction, interest in the network is still maintained.
