Optimism has introduced a new on-chain protocol known as Evidence of Attestation and Submission (EAS) to the Optimism blockchain platform in order to promote the fair distribution of Optimism tokens (OPs) and community voting. With the launch of the Bedrock, EAS will become available on Mainnet.

EAS's primary purpose is to make it easier to verify the content on the blockchain that concerns the distribution of OPs. This protocol provides a public record of the distribution of these tokens, thus making the entire ecosystem more transparent in regards to its operations. Additionally, the EAS technology enables users of the Optimism blockchain to coordinate and register diverse attestations in an interoperable manner.

Not only do these protocols allow for the free exchange of data, but it also provides a means for the Optimism Collective to keep track of those who contribute actively to the blockchain. This undertaking will be incentivized by rewarding the developers who build infrastructure on the platform or improve user experiance.

EAS also makes it possible for developers to create idenity products in other networks, such as Base Layer, Polygon, or Ethereum. This product includes rating systems for users in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that can give an individual a reputation score based on the attestations of others regarding their interactions with that particular user.

To sum up, EAS is a protocol that is designed to promote fairer OP token distribution and more transparent voting systems. The protocol’s functionality could potentially open up a variety of opportunities in other networks, as it can be used to verify content and create identity products. All in all, it’s a great addition to the Optimism platform.
