Bedrock redesigned key parts of the OP Stack
Optimism’s Bedrock upgrade changed its rollup architecture to improve modularity, reduce costs and better align with Ethereum execution concepts.

Bedrock marked a shift from one rollup product toward a more reusable infrastructure framework.
Shared code can spread improvements, but also shared bugs; upgrades still need independent review and monitoring.
