Earned Network Unlocks Smart Yield Access with Optimism

• Earned Network partners with Optimism to deliver automated smart yield strategies across interconnected OP Stack networks.
• Interchain yield access becomes seamless as Superchain supports tokens like ASTR across Optimism-based chains.

Earned Network has partnered with Optimism to bring a smarter and simpler automated yield system to the Superchain environment. This collaboration is not just about putting assets and waiting for results. There is technology that allows users to maximize the potential of their assets—without having to go back and forth between applications or change networks.

The solution that Earned brings through their automation platform, called Earned Automation, is designed to simplify the passive income experience in the crypto world. In essence, they want anyone—not just whales or developers—to be able to enjoy the results of their digital assets, in a more efficient and hassle-free way.

And with Optimism, that opportunity is even wider. The reason is, the Superchain ecosystem is indeed designed so that various OP Stack-based networks can be connected to each other, allowing cross-chain users to take advantage of services like this without technical barriers.

Optimism Will Expands Governance Beyond Token Holders

On the other hand, as we previously noted, Optimism is preparing a new governance system that will be active starting August 1, 2025. In this system, it is not only OP token holders who have a say. Developers, network operators, and even ordinary users will take part. Think of it like a digital residential community, but this one manages the blockchain architecture.

Furthermore, Superchain is now increasingly interoperable. A real-life example is that Chainlink, through CCT, has supported SuperchainERC20. This means that tokens from other networks, such as Astar Network’s ASTR, can now be used across chains in the Optimism ecosystem. And this is not just theory—it is already in active use.

If you ask, “What does this have to do with Earned?” The answer is: everything. With increasingly smooth interchain transfers and access to smart yields, users can now place assets on one network and still enjoy the results of opportunities on other networks. It’s like having an account at one bank but being able to use the best services from other banks without the hassle.

OP Stack’s Vision and Future Predictions

In addition, according to Sam McIngvale of OP Labs, in the next five years, almost all fintech companies and major crypto exchanges are expected to launch their own blockchains using OP Stack.

Why? Because this L2 model allows custodial assets to be actively monetized—for example through USDC loans or other services. If just stored like that, the assets are just idle. But with OP Stack, assets can be rotated and the results returned to the owner.

Not only that, Optimism also continues to expand the reach of its technology. Chains such as Base, World Chain, and others are already part of this network. All of them contribute to forming an interconnected ecosystem—a multichain network that feels like one integrated system.

Meanwhile, from the market side, the OP token is quite active. When this article was written, OP was trading at around $0.5748 and up 1.34% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap has also surpassed the $980 million mark.
