What is a Contribution Opportunity?

A Contribution Opportunity is a concrete task that you can work on to contribute to the Optimism Collective.

Summary

Wallets are the entrypoint into the blockchain ecosystem for most users. It's important to gauge how well these wallets are supporting OP Mainnet and other similar OP Stack based chains. It would be highly valuable to have a detailed report on many different wallets in the ecosystem and how well they are supporting OP Stack based chains.

Examples of feature support we are looking for:

  • Proper support for the OP Stack fee mechanism so that the total fee is equal to the L2 execution fee plus the L1 data fee
  • Native support for OP Mainnet without needing to add it manually
  • Proper ENS resolution using Ethereum mainnet values
  • Proper surfacing of NFT and ERC20 assets that a wallet may hold
  • Smooth experience when sending transactions and proper handling of any RPC rate limiting issues
  • Fast transaction times and UI updates

Potential Features

  • Detailed document describing your experience with the above feature support items for many different popular wallets
  • Highlights of key missing features in popular wallets
  • Screenshots or screen recordings of issues where appropriate
  • Testing on both mobile and desktop platforms

Impact

  • Wallets are how users interact with blockchains, bad wallet experiences significant impact the user experience overall
  • Wallet issues will impact all OP Stack chains in the same way, so this has a positive impact for the entire Superchain ecosystem
