BOB, a Bitcoin layer-2 project aiming to enhance development on the original blockchain, has integrated with the Superchain ecosystem based on Optimism's OP Stack framework. This toolkit enables developers to create their own blockchains atop the Ethereum layer-2 network.

BOB considers itself a hybrid layer-2 network, providing Ethereum compatibility while being built on Bitcoin. It aims to form connections with other layer-1 blockchains like Ethereum to position Bitcoin at the forefront of decentralized finance (DeFi).

The partnership includes a grant of approximately $870,000 from the Optimism Foundation to support BOB's development efforts. With this alliance, BOB plans to use the latest technologies available for Bitcoin products, enhancing the utility of its system.

Prior to this, Optimism welcomed notable exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken, which have launched their own networks leveraging the OP Stack. This integration marks a significant milestone for both BOB and the Superchain ecosystem.
