The attestation service will enable any Optimism user to establish digital sign-offs on any types of information regarding the blockchain's activities and users.
- Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) is a free and open protocol.
- Any Optimism user can use the technology to verify information they believe to be correct.
Optimism, an Ethereum-based layer 2 companion blockchain, is going to utilize the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS). The Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) is an on-chain attestation system. That enables users to assess the integrity of the platform’s users and vouch for whether anything transpired on the blockchain.
The Ethereum Attestation Service is a free and open protocol permitting on-chain attestations on EVM-compatible blockchains. It’s a generalized service that allows anyone to register a schema for its particular use case and then generate attestations following that model.
As per data, this could support more equitable OP token distribution and community voting processes on Optimism. With the introduction of EAS, Optimism users will be able to validate on-chain content that may affect how the platform’s native OP tokens are distributed and how users engage with one another more generally.
Moreover, as per sources, the EOS team has stated that the technology they offer would enable developers to develop pioneering identity solutions that can b on Optimism, as well as other networks, such as Base, Polygon, and Ethereum.
