Optimism (OP)

What is Optimism?

Optimism is a Layer 2 on Ethereum based on Optimistic Rollups. OP is the governance token of the ecosystem, comprising the main chain and the growing Superchain network.

Optimism's Superchain vision aims to create a network of interoperable L2 chains built on the same technology stack (OP Stack). Coinbase chose OP Stack to build Base, the exchange's official L2 chain, bringing millions of new users into the ecosystem. World App, Worldcoin and many other high-profile projects have chosen the Superchain as their operational base.
