According to Odaily, Base announced on platform X that approximately 42 million OP tokens were transferred on-chain in a trustless and transparent manner. This transfer marks the first part of the Optimism Superchain grant being moved to a new SmartEscrow contract, a year after its launch. The remaining tokens will be automatically vested according to the agreement between the parties involved. This move underscores Base's long-term commitment to the Superchain. Following the first vesting event later this month, the core team at Base will be able to participate in Optimism governance. The transfer was timely, fee-free, and without intermediaries, showcasing the potential of on-chain capabilities.
