What is Optimism (OP)?
Layer-2 scaling network
Optimism (OP) powers a Layer-2 scaling network that settles to Ethereum, processing transactions faster and far more cheaply than the base chain while inheriting its security. It's part of the infrastructure making everyday on-chain activity affordable.
How does OP work?
Optimism batches many transactions off-chain and posts compressed proofs back to Ethereum, cutting gas costs dramatically. OP is used within that ecosystem for fees, governance, and incentives that keep the network running.
What is OP used for?
OP holders interact with DeFi apps, NFTs, and payments at a fraction of mainnet cost, and participate in steering the network. It's a common choice for users who want Ethereum-grade security without high fees.
