### Notes on American English adaptation:
1. **Conciseness**: Used "Alert" (common for crypto news alerts), "M" (abbreviation for "million" widely used in U.S. finance), and simplified phrases (e.g., "two days ago" instead of "the day before yesterday" for clarity).
2. **Flow**: Structured to lead with key action (account + position update) before supporting details, matching U.S. media’s preference for "who-what-when-where" brevity.
3. **Precision**: Added "(March 3rd)" to avoid ambiguity (critical for time-sensitive crypt

Optimism has announced that it will cease support for op-geth and op-program on May 31st.
March 5 — Optimism announced via official sources that it will discontinue support for op-geth and op-program by May 31, 2026.
During this transition period, security patches and critical bug fixes will still be released, but new feature development—including the upcoming Karst hard fork—will only proceed on op-reth. The fault proof mechanism for op-program will also be migrated to the kona-client; the current deployment is expected to remain in use until the Karst hard fork goes live.
Chain operators must complete this migration during the Karst hard fork; otherwise, chains still running op-geth will fail to sync with the mainnet. Cannon-kona can operate within the existing op-node environment without relying on kona-node (the latter is an optional component).
Node operators should migrate to op-reth as soon as possible to maintain network compatibility and access new feature support.
