Optimism (OP) is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, designed to improve the network’s speed and reduce transaction costs by using a technology called Optimistic Rollups. It processes transactions off-chain (on its own layer) and then bundles them into batches before submitting them to the Ethereum mainnet. This approach enhances the scalability of Ethereum while maintaining its security.

Key Features:

  1. Scalability: Optimism can process a large number of transactions off-chain, reducing the congestion on Ethereum and lowering gas fees.
  2. Compatibility with Ethereum: Since Optimism is built to work seamlessly with Ethereum’s infrastructure, developers can deploy their existing Ethereum dApps (decentralized applications) to Optimism with minimal changes.
  3. Optimistic Rollups: This technology allows Optimism to assume transactions are valid by default (optimistically) and only verify them if there is a challenge, thus reducing computational effort and speeding up the process.
  4. Governance and OP Token: The OP token is used for governance within the Optimism ecosystem. Token holders can vote on network upgrades, improvements, and other community decisions.

Optimism is popular in the DeFi space because it provides the scalability and efficiency needed for decentralized finance applications to run more smoothly without Ethereum’s high transaction fees and slow speeds. As Ethereum continues to evolve, layer-2 solutions like Optimism are expected to play a critical role in scaling the network.
