Base transfers the first 42 million OPs in the Optimism superchain grant to the new smart custody contract

Base said in a post on X: "Yesterday, about 42 million OP tokens were transferred on the chain in a trustless and transparent manner. One year after its launch, we transferred the first part of the Optimism Superchain grant to a brand new SmartEscrow contract, which automatically vests the remaining tokens according to the agreement between the two parties. This consolidates our long-term commitment to Superchain-after the first vesting event later this month, the Base core team will be able to participate in Optimism governance. Timely transfers, no fees, and no middlemen. This is what can be achieved by bringing it to the chain."
