Optimism Identifies Gaps in Fault-Proof System, Suggests Upgrade for Fixes

OP Labs, the software developer behind the Optimism ecosystem, has proposed a network upgrade called Granite to address vulnerabilities in Optimism’s fault-proof system.

Discovered during external audits, these vulnerabilities pose no immediate risk. But the upgrade aims to enhance the system’s security and stability. The Granite update includes smart contract enhancements and a hardfork, impacting the system’s withdrawal mechanism. Some users have expressed concerns about potential disruptions and are calling for more detailed documentation and additional audits before implementation. Despite these concerns, no user assets have been compromised.
