Socket is an interoperability protocol that powers seamless asset & data transfers for apps across blockchains. 70+ wallets & apps including Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, Bungee, Synthetix, Polynomial, Kwenta, Lyra, Rainbow & Zerion leverage Socket for various cross-chain use cases.Here are our contributions to Optimism:- Enabled onboarding to Optimism right within 30+ wallets, not just from Mainnet but 10+ chains.- Improved cross-chain UX for 10+ Optimism native apps including top options and perp protocols with our open-source 'Socket Plugin'- Refuel, our public good to Optimism enables users to receive gas tokens, with no extra fees- Day 0 bridging support across our 100+ ecosystem for OP-Stack chains like Base, Zora, etc.- Built OP-Stack with Aevo to bring zero-cost L2<>L2 bridging

Impact

Over the last 2 years, Socket has worked to eliminate one of the biggest problems hindering user onboarding and protocol adoption on Optimism. Along with our 100+ ecosystem, we powered seamless cross-chain experiences right within apps, removing any friction to try Optimism.Here is our impact so far:- Bridged $1B+ volume in 2 years across Metamask, Zapper, Zerion, Slingshot, Bungee, Layer3 & 30+ apps- Onboarded 1.5M+ wallets with a simplified 1-click onboarding into Optimism on top OP native apps including Synthetix, Kwenta, Lyra & Polynomial- Facilitated 600K+ gas top-ups to Optimism via our public good Refuel- Facilitated 125K+ transfers to Base & Zora supercharging OP-Stack growth- SuperBridge to Aevo facilitated 10K+ zero-cost transfers, pushing one step closer to Superchain
