What is Optimism

Optimism is a network and platform that aims to improve the scalability and efficiency of blockchain technology. It is built on the Ethereum blockchain and utilizes a layer 2 scaling solution called Optimistic Rollups.

The goal of Optimism is to enable faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security and decentralization of the underlying blockchain. The Optimism team has been actively working on developing and improving their technology to make blockchain more accessible and user-friendly.
