Optimism Fees and Overhead Costs Just Went Way Down—Here's Why

The Delta hardfork, implemented across various Optimism-based chains, has successfully reduced fixed overhead costs for Layer 1 fees. OP Labs, the core developer behind Optimism, demonstrated the effectiveness of the Delta upgrade in reducing costs for chain operators, resulting in increased revenue collection by Zora. The introduction of Span Batches, a key feature of the Delta upgrade, has also helped reduce L1 fees for more active and less active chains.
