Optimism is rolling out stake-based transaction ordering on OP Mainnet, where staking 100,000 OP unlocks priority block inclusion ahead of the gas auction. Phase 1 runs flat FIFO for up to a week — every staker gets equal top-of-block treatment regardless of size — before Phase 2 switches to a stake-weighted multiplier capped at 3x with a +10% bonus after 15 days held. No lockups, no admin keys on staked funds, a 20% gas-limit safety cap per flashblock, and the whole experiment can rollback to standard ordering without touching withdrawals — Spearbit audits shipped alongside the source.
