Optimism chain
Overview
Optimism, also known as OP Mainnet, operates as an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution. It relies on optimistic rollup technology to enhance transaction throughput and lower costs, while maintaining the security of the underlying Ethereum chain. The system uses a single sequencer and fraud proofs to finalise transactions on Ethereum. Governance of the network is conducted via the OP token, which grants holders voting rights on protocol changes.
Within The Counterparty graph, Optimism connects to 204 tracked entities, most strongly to Ether (ETH), Ethereum, Morpho Blue.
