In a world where every digital handshake is merely a fleeting whisper, ether.fi has decided to rewrite the ledger of existence. Imagine, if you will, the restless souls of seventy thousand on‑chain cash cards, and three hundred thousand accounts, all dragged-yes, dragged-into the gleaming maw of Optimism’s OP Mainnet. A sum of over a hundred and sixty million dollars in TVL, a blockbuster in the theatre of crypto, teeters on the brink of metamorphosis. And so it is, that this colossal migration shall unfold in the coming months like a Russian novel’s final chapter.
The company, in that peculiar mix of earnest zeal and sterile corporate jargon, paints this shift as a “long‑term partnership” aimed at propelling global on‑chain payments. They proclaim that deeper liquidity, a maturer DeFi ecosystem, and native stablecoin support shall cradle Cash users in the cradle of scale-lest we forget the absurdity of banking systems vibrating on quantum beads.
1/ Today, we announce our plan to move to @Optimism’s OP Mainnet
70,000+ active cards, 300,000+ accounts, and $160M+ in TVL will migrate to the Superchain in the coming months, marking a long-term partnership to accelerate global onchain payments.

Why does this matter, you wonder? The answer lies in the numbers-numbers as hollow as any confession in a monastery: over two thousand swaps and twenty‑eight thousand spend transactions per day, averaging a sorrowful $2 million in spend volume. Each transaction a tiny pyrrhic calm in the storm, each dollar a whispered lament that “the activity is doubling approximately every two months” since the grand launch on September 2024.
To the end users who fear their accounts being lost in the void, ether.fi offers a silver lining of seamless transition and inviolable safety. One can almost smell the cocoa of certainty as they are promised easier cash‑back rewards in USDC, ETH, and BTC-stolen from within the very fabric of OP Mainnet. And what’s this? Features, dazzling and sudden, that were previously mere figments in the procrastinated dreams of software engineers? Yes, they’ll be unveiled, as though a Dostoevskian twist of fate.
Optimism, holding its own court of rationality, declares the partnership a grand venture into “onchain neobanking.” They herald OP Mainnet as a bustling hub for DeFi activity, the nexus where consumer and enterprise applications collide in a ballet of algorithmic glory. The OP Stack’s rumored 3.6 billion transactions in the second half of 2025-13% of all crypto transactions-flashes like an indictment against the loneliness of the digital.
And so we stand at the threshold, where the weight of thirty million souls of accounts and cards, the burden of a staggering hundred and sixty million dollars, and the hopeful tangled web of promise, all whisper beneath the prelude of “endless possibility.” The thing is, they’re also whispering that perhaps, just perhaps, blockchain technology might be as flawed and beautiful as the human condition itself. Or maybe it’s all just another opportunity for a new scroll of promises, and we are all simply desperately holding our baked peanuts, waiting for the next transaction to go through.
