About Optimism

Optimism, also referred to as OP, is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses Optimistic Rollups to achieve faster transactions and lower fees. It aims to improve the transaction throughput of the Ethereum network without compromising its security or decentralization. By running smart contracts off-chain and interacting with the main Ethereum blockchain only when necessary, Optimism provides a more scalable and efficient environment for decentralized applications.
