RSS3 is retiring the Value Sublayer (VSL) and migrating to Ethereum. The L2Layer 2 (L2) is a category of technical solutions aimed to scale the base layer in a trust minimized way. This category includes solutions like rollups as well as state channels and plasma. Other solutions are able to scale further, but with the introduction of additional trust assumptions, which are therefore not trust minimized. Sometimes the term Layer 2 is used to refer to include these solutions too, like validiums and optimiums, but to distinguish between trust minimized and non trust minimized solutions they are often referred to as "light" L2s, opposed to "strong" L2s like rollups. halted on April 24, 2026 and VSL bridgeA message-passing protocol between two blockchains. At its most basic, a token bridge consists of a smart contract which can escrow funds on one side of the bridge, and instruct the release or minting of corresponding assets on the other side, but bridges could also support arbitrary messages.

Previously-initiated withdrawals will be completed as part of the migration; $RSS3 on VSL will be migrated to Ethereum via a claim portal expected in the coming weeks ($POWER converts to $RSS3 at 23:1).

Consequence: projects without a proper proof system fully rely on single entities to safely update the state. A malicious proposer can finalize an invalid state, which can cause loss of funds.
Consequence: projects without a data availability bridge fully rely on single entities (the sequencer) to honestly rely available data roots on Ethereum. A malicious sequencer can collude with the proposer to finalize an unavailable state, which can cause loss of funds.

RSS3 VSL migration to Ethereum

RSS3 starts using NearDA
2024 May 7th
RSS3 NetworkA constellation of nodes (peers) that communicate via a peer-to-peer protocol, for example, in propagating transactions and blocks to other nodes. starts publishing data to NearDA.
In the event of a sequencerA party responsible for ordering and executing transactions on the rollup. The sequencer verifies transactions, compresses the data into a block, and submits the data related to it to enable state reconstruction to Ethereum L1 as a single transaction. The data can be either transaction data or state diffs. failure, users can force transactions to be included in the project’s chain by sending them to L1Layer 1 (L1) is a blockchain that is self-reliant on its validator set for its security and consensus properties. Ethereum is an example of a layer 1. Blockchains started receiving the moniker of layer 1 once layer 2 became a meaningful area of development.. There can be up to a 12h delay on this operation.
Currently the system permits invalid state rootsA cryptographic hash succinctly representing a state using a Merkle tree.. More details in project overview.
Proof construction and state derivation rely fully on data that is NOT published on chain.
There is no window for users to exit in case of an unwanted upgrade since contracts are instantly upgradable.
Only the whitelisted proposers can publish state rootsA cryptographic hash succinctly representing a state using a Merkle tree. on L1Layer 1 (L1) is a blockchain that is self-reliant on its validator set for its security and consensus properties. Ethereum is an example of a layer 1. Blockchains started receiving the moniker of layer 1 once layer 2 became a meaningful area of development., so in the event of failure the withdrawals are frozen.
Transaction data is submitted to a blobThe data that a rollup publishes to its L1/data availability (DA) layer. They consist of the L2 transactions that are rolled up, along with some metadata. Blobs are introduced as a new transaction type within Ethereum with EIP-4844, and has rollup scaling specifically in mind. Blobs persist on Ethereum’s Beacon Chain ephemerally. store contract on NearDA. Only hashes of blob data is published on an onchain inbox.
Funds can be lost if the data is not made available on the external provider (CRITICAL).
Funds can be lost if the sequencer posts an unavailable or malicious transaction root (CRITICAL).
OP Stack projects can use the OP fault proof systemThe infrastructure that allows projects to verify their state transitions. It is composed by onchain verifiers and offchain provers. The main two flavors are optimistic and ZK proof systems, but they can be combined in a hybrid model. In general though, if a system is able to accept state roots optimistically, even if it has a ZK component, it is considered an optimistic proof system., already being deployed on some. This project though is not using fault proofs yet and is relying on the honesty of the permissioned ProposerIn the context of L2s, the actor that proposes a claimed state root on L1. The term is also used in the context of Ethereum to refer to the actor that proposes a new block. and Challengers to ensure state correctness. The smart contract system permits invalid state rootsA cryptographic hash succinctly representing a state using a Merkle tree..
Funds can be stolen if an invalid state root is submitted to the system (CRITICAL).
The metrics include upgrades on the currently used proxy contracts. Historical proxy contracts and changes of such are not included.
RSS3 has announced the retirement of VSL and is migrating to Ethereum. On 2026-04-24 the L2 stopped producing blocks (last VSL block at 08:59 UTC), the L1 sequencer inbox went silent (last batch at 05:24 UTC), and the batcher EOA was swept to the RSS3 Multisig. VSL bridge withdrawals are paused; pending withdrawals will be completed as part of the migration and $RSS3 on VSL will be claimable on Ethereum via a portal in the coming weeks. Added a redWarning and incident milestone on the project. L1StandardBridge — operator sweep added and used (on-chain upgrade, new implementation 0x12665984... deployed 2026-04-17 and activated before the halt). The new impl sets operator = RSS3Multisig (0x8AC80fa0) and exposes an operator-only sweep(token, to, amount) that transfers any ERC-20 held by the bridge to an arbitrary address with no withdrawal proof or delay. On 2026-04-22 06:29 UTC (block 24933678) the operator used this to move the full bridge escrow to the RSS3 Multisig in a single batched sweep: ~464,630,520 RSS3, 1,023 USDC, 284 USDT, and 0.84 WETH. Mirrors the pre-existing OptimismPortal operator = WithdrawalOverwriterMultisig (which can rewrite withdrawal calldata on finalization). SystemConfig modeling fix (no on-chain upgrade — same impl 0x164883d4... as before). With the L2 halted, the batcher's last 10 outgoing txs include 3 consolidation transfers into the RSS3 Multisig (one of 33.45 ETH), dropping its top-address ratio to 7/10 = 0.70. That trips the standard opStackSequencerInbox handler's 80% qualification threshold, which derives sequencerInbox from the batcher's tx pattern, so the field errored out. Fixed via a new opstack/SystemConfig rss3 template variant (scoped to RSS3's SystemConfig via validAddresses ) that hardcodes sequencerInbox to 0xfFFF...12553 — the pre-halt discovered value, matching RSS3's chainId 12553 under the standard OP Stack predeploy convention and consistent with 47/50 (94%) of the batcher's outgoing txs over a 50-tx window going to that address.

The operatorAn operator is the entity charged with managing a rollup and progressing its state. A rollup operator can be a centralized sequencer, proposer, prover, challenger, pauser of admin that is able to perform upgrades. is the only entity that can propose blocksAn ordered list of transactions and chain-related metadata that gets bundled together and published to the L1/DA layer. Nodes execute the transactions contained within blocks to change the rollup chain’s state. Protocol rules dictate what constitutes a valid block, and invalid blocks are skipped over.. A live and trustworthy operator is vital to the health of the system.
MEV can be extracted if the operator exploits their centralized position and frontruns user transactions.
Because the state of the system is based on transactions submitted on the underlying host chain and anyone can submit their transactions there it allows the users to circumvent censorship by interacting with the smart contract on the host chain directly.

This category includes solutions like rollups as well as state channels and plasma. Other solutions are able to scale further, but with the introduction of additional trust assumptions, which are therefore not trust minimized. Sometimes the term Layer 2 is used to refer to include these solutions too, like validiums and optimiums, but to distinguish between trust minimized and non trust minimized solutions they are often referred to as "light" L2s, opposed to "strong" L2s like rollups.->L1Layer 1 (L1) is a blockchain that is self-reliant on its validator set for its security and consensus properties.

The process of block finalization takes a challenge periodIn optimistic rollups, the window of time wherein network participants can assert that some fraud was included in a prior block. Most optimistic rollups currently specify a challenge window of 7 days. By extending the period, there is more time for participants to guard against fraud (invalid state transitions), but also more time until withdrawals gets enabled. of 7d to complete.
Funds can be frozen if the centralized validator goes down. Users cannot produce blocks themselves and exiting the system requires new block production (CRITICAL).

The system is then obliged to service this request or halt all messages, including forced withdrawals from L1 and regular messages initiated on L2. Once the force operation is submitted and if the request is serviced, the operation follows the flow of a regular message.

In the context of rollups, it generally refers to the proximity to the EVM and to Ethereum architecture. model.

Contains configuration parameters such as the SequencerA party responsible for ordering and executing transactions on the rollup. The sequencer verifies transactions, compresses the data into a block, and submits the data related to it to enable state reconstruction to Ethereum L1 as a single transaction.

Used to bridgeA message-passing protocol between two blockchains. At its most basic, a token bridge consists of a smart contract which can escrow funds on one side of the bridge, and instruct the release or minting of corresponding assets on the other side, but bridges could also support arbitrary messages. How these instructions are validated is a critical factor in assessing the trust assumptions of a bridge. ERC-721 tokens from host chain to this chain.
