Contributions
Our first contribution to Optimism was almost 3 years ago in December 2020 when we included the Testnet Verifier and Fraud Prover in our DAppStore for all Dappnode users to help with the early testing of the initial Optimism testnets on Kovan. In its history Dappnode has built bridges between average users and projects that seek decentralization in its development by making running nodes accessible. Supporting Ethereum from early years to PoS migration, optimistic rollups are no stranger to the values that have helped the Ethereum ecosystem, and Dappnode has recently added Optimism to its Rollups menu, a dashboard that lets you easily run a node. We have been present as a tool that pushes decentralization for Optimism as its evolution keeps moving forward and we intend to keep doing so.

Impact
Running an Optimism Node -deploying the OP Stack- is now as easy as a couple of clicks. The UX of node-running has improved massively, and developers can deploy their own endpoints to avoid rate-limits and query as much as they need. The decentralization potential - the total number of people that can run a node - has expanded to the entire Dappnode user base and all OP users can use Dappnode to have their own, uncensorable, access to the network.
