Alt-DA Mode is now available for the OP Stack!
OP Stack chains can now leverage Alt-DA Mode to submit transaction batches to any alternate data availability layer outside of L1, lowering costs. Any data availability layer can now build and maintain their own data server and integrate into the OP Stack.
This feature is still in beta. Optimism core contributors are still improving Alt-DA Mode.

Retro Funding 4: Ratification of profit formula
A deliberative process was conducted to come to consensus on a definition of profit, which will be universally applied to this retro round. Randomly selected badgeholders deliberated in three sessions and reached consensus on an applicable formula:
Impact - ((10% * Token House Growth Grants) + (45% * Token House Builders Grants) + (25% * Foundation Grants)) = Award in OP
Badgeholders will no longer need to estimate profit, but instead, apply a collective definition. The consensus is that the formula will only take into account Optimism Grants, deducting from impact previous growth, builder and foundation grants, resulting in a project’s reward.
Ratification will require a quorum of 30% eligible retro round voters and a simple majority of 51% votes. If it is not ratified, no profit formula will be applied, focusing only on impact.
Voting will take place on Snapshot from June 20 to 26th.
Retro Funding 4 voting will begin on June 27th.
