What is Optimism (OP)?

Optimism is a so-called Layer 2 solution for Ethereum. Basically, it makes Ethereum faster and cheaper without messing with its security. Ethereum can be slow and expensive due to high transaction fees (gas fees). Optimism solves this by processing transactions off-chain and then bundling them onto the blockchain. This keeps costs low and the network scalable. These kinds of solutions are called ‘Layer 2 protocols’.

How does Optimism work?

Optimism uses a technology called Optimistic Rollups, which is basically a fancy way of saying it piggybacks on the security of another, 'older' blockchain. Instead of having its own consensus mechanism, it relies on the main chain’s mechanism (like PoW or PoS). In OP Mainnet’s case, that main chain is Ethereum.

This means transactions get processed first without being immediately verified by Ethereum. The system assumes everything is correct (hence 'optimistic') unless someone proves otherwise within a certain timeframe. This results in faster and cheaper transactions while keeping security intact.

On top of that, Optimism supports smart contracts, making it easy for developers to build and run decentralized applications (dApps) on a more efficient network than Ethereum itself.

Who founded Optimism?

Optimism was created by the team behind the Optimism Foundation, a non-profit focused on improving Ethereum’s scalability. The most well-known figure in the team is Jinglan Wang, who has been in the blockchain space for years, working to make Ethereum more efficient and accessible. The goal of Optimism is not just to make Ethereum faster and cheaper but also to give back to the Ethereum ecosystem.

Why buy Optimism?

Optimism tackles some of Ethereum’s biggest issues. Faster and cheaper transactions make the Ethereum network more accessible to everyone. Plus, it's backed by big names in the crypto space and continues to grow. Looking for an efficient and innovative crypto? Then Optimism (OP) is definitely worth considering!
