Optimism Bedrock Mainnet Upgrade Scheduled on June 6, 2023, expecting 2-4 Hours of Downtime

OP Labs announced that the highly anticipated Bedrock Mainnet upgrade will take place on June 6, 2023, at 16:00 UTC. The Bedrock upgrade will require 2-4 hours of downtime for OP Mainnet, making transactions, deposits, and withdrawals unavailable for the duration of the downtime, and the OP Mainnet chain will not be progressing.

"Bedrock will improve the security and resilience of the OP Mainnet bridge," the foundation said, adding that it would significantly cut fees. ""Bedrock is designed with the most minimal diff on Ethereum possible. Ethereum equivalence + minimized complexity = less room for bugs, easier for ecosystem devs to contribute."
