Optimism OP

On 2024-12-21 the current Optimism price/exchange rate is 1.72 EUR.

Optimism (OP) is a Layer-2 blockchain network created on top of the Ethereum network.

The goal of Optimism (OP) is to scale the Ethereum network, by reducing transaction fees and saving time when executing transactions.

Optimism is one of the most efficient Layer-2 protocols built on the Ethereum network. 

About 97 protocols use the Optimism infrastructure.

The largest of those protocols are Synthetix (SNX) and Uniswap (UNI). 

The value of around 500 million US dollars is locked in Optimism smart contract protocols.

Optimism uses the technology known as Optimistic Rollups. 

The short explanation for Optimism Rollups is that it’s a protocol that collects hundreds of transactions (NFT minting, swaps, etc.) and bundles them into a single transaction.

This reduces the cost of gas fees and network congestion. 

The transactions are securely stored on the Ethereum Mainnet.

The Optimism network also has its own OP token, which gives holders certain rights in managing the network.

There are around 911 million OP tokens in circulation. 

The total supply of the OP token is 4,294,967,296.

The Optimism (OP) network is offering a scaling solution for the Ethereum network without sacrificing decentralization and security.

The biggest advantages of Optimism (OP) are:

Optimism can improve scalability by 10-100 times (depending on the type of transaction).

Thanks to its Optimistic Rollups technology, the Optimism protocol includes multiple transactions in one set and displays them as one transaction, due to which fees are significantly reduced.

Since Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 network using the Ethereum infrastructure, all transactions are settled on the Ethereum Mainnet, giving users the secure and decentralized environment of the Ethereum blockchain network.

The Optimism (OP) token can’t be mined the way Bitcoin or other Proof-of-Work (POW) networks are mined.

Optimism has customized elements of Proof-of-Stake (POS) consensus in order to develop an ecosystem in which value is generated for users who actively participate in the operation of the network.

The Optimism Foundation is a non-profit organization that founded the Optimism blockchain network and is working on its improvements.

Optimism aims to become a network that will be oriented toward the development of decentralized solutions.
