**Superchain interop is in active development!**

Superchain interop enables trust-minimized, low-latency, cross-chain composability. Superchain interop is in active development and is available for testing. [Learn more about Superchain Interop](https://docs.optimism.io/stack/interop/explainer).

The next major scalability improvement to the OP Stack after Bedrock is to introduce the concept of *a Superchain*: a network of chains that share bridging, decentralized governance, upgrades, a communication layer and more—all built on the OP Stack.

## The scalability vision

<Callout type="info">
Today, the Superchain is a concept and in-flight project, not a concrete reality. This documentation represents our best current guess as to what the Superchain's components, features, and roadmap will be. Ultimately, its actualization will depend on (and change alongside) contributions from across the entire Optimism Collective. We cannot wait to see where it goes.

### Blockchain tech today is insufficient for the decentralized web

The unfortunate truth is that the blockchain ecosystem has not realized the potential of creating the decentralized web, a re-architected internet where trusted entities are replaced by permissionless protocols. This is largely due to the fact that a majority of web applications are unable to be run onchain due to scalability constraints inherent to the current state of blockchain technology—a problem which has plagued the industry since its inception.
