What is Optimism (OP)?
Optimism is another major Ethereum layer-2 and, like Arbitrum, an optimistic rollup that processes transactions off-chain and settles them on Ethereum to keep fees low. Launched in 2021 by the OP Labs team, it is built around the "OP Stack", open-source software that other projects can use to launch their own rollups.
That OP Stack is the basis of the "Superchain" idea: a family of interoperable layer-2 networks sharing standards and, over time, security. Coinbase's Base network is the most prominent chain built with it. The OP token is used for governance through the Optimism Collective and to fund public goods via a novel retroactive-funding programme.
OP's value tracks the growth of the Superchain, competition among layer-2s and token unlock schedules. It is volatile, and the chart and stats on this page are informational only and not a recommendation to trade.
The Optimism price rarely hangs on any single factor. More often it is a few at once — growth of the Superchain and chains built on the OP Stack, layer-2 competition, OP token unlock schedules and wider market sentiment. Together they set the backdrop, though short-term moves can still catch everyone off guard.
