Optimism Layer 2 Network
Optimism:Ethereum Scaling
Optimism, launched in 2021 by Optimism PBC, is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that enhances transaction speed and reduces costs using Optimistic Rollups. This technology processes transactions off the main Ethereum chain while assuming they are valid unless proven otherwise, which speeds up processing and cuts fees. Optimism is designed to be fully compatible with Ethereum, allowing developers to deploy existing smart contracts with minimal changes. By increasing transaction throughput and lowering costs, Optimism aims to improve the efficiency of Ethereum-based dApps and support the growing demand for scalable blockchain solutions.
