Ethereum Scaling Solution Optimism Sets Date for 'Bedrock' Security and Compatibility Upgrade

Optimism is set to undergo its highly anticipated Bedrock upgrade on June 6, which is expected to reduce transaction fees, provide greater network security and enhance compatibility with Ethereum. The network will be down for two to four hours on June 6, and the upgrade will benefit from lower transaction fees, shorter deposit times, improved node software performance and better compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
