OP Optimism Rank #163 $0.1070 ▼ 1.83%

Optimism is a Layer 2 scaling project built on Ethereum, best known for OP Mainnet and the broader Superchain network of interconnected blockchains. The project provides the open-source OP Stack, a modular framework that has become one of the most widely adopted foundations for building Ethereum rollups, powering chains operated by major industry participants such as Coinbase, Uniswap, Kraken, and others. Functioning as a rollup-based scaling solution, Optimism processes transactions off Ethereum's mainnet while inheriting its security, enabling significantly faster and lower-cost activity for decentralized applications. The ecosystem follows a standardized revenue-sharing arrangement, under which each chain in the network contributes a share of its revenue back to the Optimism Collective, creating aligned economic incentives across the network. OP is the native governance token of the Optimism Collective. Holders use OP to vote on protocol upgrades, treasury allocations, and funding for public goods within the ecosystem. The project is classified within the smart contract platform and Layer 2 categories, and represents one of the most prominent scaling efforts within the broader Ethereum landscape.
