To submit, simply link your asset as a comment on this thread. (Read more in Application Instructions below!)

The top three submissions will receive 1500 USDC (first place), 750 USDC (second place), and 250 USDC (third place). Submissions will be judged by the Optimism Unlimited Marketing and Design teams.

Submit your visual by March 25 to be included ✨

Solution Criteria & Design Brief

Your submission can take any form you'd like.

The Superchain is a horizontally scalable network of chains that

• Share a common rollup architecture in the OP Stack.
• Contribute revenue to the Optimism Collective.
• Get rewarded for contributions via Retroactive Public Goods funding and airdrops.

Today, chains like Base, Fraxtal, Mode, OP Mainnet, Redstone, and Zora are all built on the OP Stack as early adopters of the Superchain.

In creating your visual asset, consider emphasizing some of the key characteristics of this platform & movement.

• The Superchain is cooperative. When we build together, we benefit together. By participating in the Superchain, each individual OP Chain helps build a shared ecosystem and contribute back to the efforts that secure and develop the core protocol itself.
• The Superchain is interconnected. Through values, governance, and upcoming interoperability features, the Superchain is designed to knit one continuous fabric of blockspace for developers and consumers to explore together.
• The Superchain is scalable.
• The Superchain is open source. Built on the MIT-licensed OP Stack, the Superchain is proudly fork-friendly and transparent. Building together is in our DNA.

How will this Foundation Mission (RFP) will help accomplish the above Intent?

The Optimism Collective is committed to building and growing the Superchain. This project can help achieve Intent 2 by increasing visibility and awareness of the Superchain.

Hello, thank you for this opportunity. I have an idea that I think could change how we interact with and collect art. I also believe that generally speaking we have not scratched the surface of what is possible with NFT art. We share art, fractionalize IP, etc but are we not here to disrupt archaic and unfair modes of exchange that benefit gatekeepers and subjugate artists. This idea opens up a window to the genesis of art: Liveminting.

Screenshare or stream digital art, living generative pieces, music, applicable mediums. Auctioned contemporaneously. Mint stills or bid on final piece in /frames

Imagine bidding on a painting as it's being made. Capturing a still from an Anadol piece. Minting a sound from a live performance.

Imagine doing that with any chain, in Frame.

The roadblock to mass adoption is this: onchain art and assets need to bring something that the old way can't. This is it.

To be fair, I am not a developer. This is just a dream. I have no real concept of how practical or impractical this all is. Are we not here to dream, cast off shackles, build some open brighter future. I dare to dream this one. Thanks for your consideration!

It's a digital landscape where cooperation and community are not just features, but the very foundation. The Superchain isn't just about building technology; it's about building connections, nurturing public goods, and celebrating the collective spirit that propels us toward a future bright with possibility. So that is why I used the colours of all Superchain members and put them all together in a coherent and related manner.

The image exudes a sense of wonder and awe. The glowing symbols suspended in the sky evoke curiosity. Are they keys to hidden knowledge? Or perhaps they represent the encrypted pathways of the Superchain itself. The futuristic cityscape embodies ambition. Its circular design suggests unity, harmony, and a collective pursuit of progress.

The symbols—glowing, cryptic—pulse with energy, bridging the mundane and the extraordinary. Perhaps they encode the very essence of the Superchain: immutable, decentralized, and transformative.

Below are a series of creations and submissions based around the ethos of the superchain infrastructure

superchain envisioned as a fsahionable logo

[GregoryKan42]

A colossal tree of life, its trunk and branches formed by intertwined threads of data of various colors and shapes. Scattered along the trunk and branches are tiny multicolored sparks - new autonomous projects and ideas, ready to grow into the system. Surrounding the tree is an energetic glow - a field of possibilities and potential for further growth and development of the Superchain. Address: 0xaC9a3Dd5A4d06DB110Ae35709a21093586f1E749

"The Bonds of the Cryptocosmos"

Imagine an infinite digital space woven with vibrant lines of code and data, intertwining to form a tangled knot. Each line represents a separate blockchain ecosystem or protocol, and their intricate interweaving embodies the essence of the Superchain - a unified integrated environment.

At the heart of this chaotic data flow lies a core - a massive node emitting rhythmic pulses of light and energy. These pulses, akin to shockwaves, propagate along all lines of code, facilitating the transmission of assets, values, and seamless communication between all points of the system.

Woven into this cryptocosmos are elements reminiscent of molecular and neural structures, electrical discharges, or beating pulsating hearts, serving as a metaphor for the life force fueling this grand system.

In the gaps between the lines, the code disperses like sparks or particles of light, symbolizing the boundless potential for further growth and development of the Superchain. The entire composition literally breathes with life, energy, and the dynamism of a decentralized universe of the future. Address: 0xaC9a3Dd5A4d06DB110Ae35709a21093586f1E749

We have created two animated artworks, as we think both artworks convey the Superchain pretty well.

Here are our two artworks, and their corresponding descriptions.

"Neural Nexus" portrays the neuronal circuits of the human brain, intricately woven into a vast network of interconnected pathways, echoing the essence of cooperativeness, scalability, and open-source ethos inherent in the superchain concept.

https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/ecosystem-contributions/assets/121143313/a862882b-f8c6-4f7c-a733-72d262ce26e6

"Electrifying Connection," the essence of cooperativeness, interconnectedness, scalability, and open-source ethos converge in a mesmerizing portrayal of human connection. The centerpiece of the piece is a symbolic handshake between two hands, each resembling intricate electric circuits, sparking a visual representation of collaborative synergy.

The world created by OP is expressed as an earth-like sphere. It represents a world where this world is constantly changing and expanding in a variety of colours as various chains are created.

While conventional Optimism was a red monochrome world, the worldview of Superchain by OP Stack is not only red, but is changing into a diverse world including blue, as symbolised by base.

Title: SuperChain Penguin

The way this world works is that the youngest penguin chooses one of the 6 networks (Base, Fraxtal, Mode, OP Mainnet, Redstone and Zora) mentally and the 2nd oldest penguin processes and checks the information.

The work is a cooperative Superchain ecosystem running on Op Stack, where the overall success is woven from the individual efforts of two penguin brothers who together in one team were able to invent it all and contribute to the future of cryptocurrency

Concept:

The Super Chain is visualized as a supernatural, AI-based, smart, and empathic robotic creation that serves as the heart and intelligence center of the whole ecosystem. This concept is global and integrated throughout the universe wherever processes can be converted into binary. This tremendous virtual organism, though, can be accessed via simple dApps installed on your mobile device.

Superchain Mainframe - This piece was created in Photoshop with 28 separate files that were generated using artificial intelligence and isometric art as the template for the layout. Utilizing this type of technology to create art along with the experience that we have gained over the past in digital editing with programs such as photoshop has created a delicate blend between two worlds and inspired us to participate in this event by providing a contribution. The action of making this image reflects the ability to speed up the creation process using artificial intelligence and combine different ideas together to created detail oriented imagery showing others how to use this technology for good. Bringing these innovative ideas to life is something that some visual creators who don’t have the opportunity to practice art full time can only dream of when it comes to traditional techniques such as acrylic or oil painting.

If you look closely at the details you will see all of the different structures that represent new digital cities that are full of super intelligent cybernetic nerds and punks who are set out to create a better world. Utilizing the ethereal power of the blockchain nestled on a cliff of an island far up in the sky within the universe. This new paradigm has given builders from all around the galaxy an opportunity to join together on this cosmic journey. Allowing for anyone to use the technology of open source software to align their vision with other builders who share the same values and support each other along the way on their mission. Creating a sustainable way to fix the old legacy systems that have crumbled down around us by utilizing practices such as decentralized science and regenerative finance or agriculture to provide solutions that have taken us generations to accomplish.

Hello - I'm Mike, a Full-Time Art Director and 3D Artist in the Web3 space, and this is my entry into the "Visualize the Superchian" contest.

I created this piece using Blender3D, Marvelous Designer, Photoshop, and Lightroom.

The concept behind my piece, "The Superchain", is that even in an isolated state, we can find hyper-connectivity, across the world, across the globe, and across any medium or language. In a fully decentralized way, that empowers sovereign creators and builders alike.

I plan to mint this piece on Zora in the coming weeks. Thank you so much for the consideration!
