Optimism (OP) is a layer2 blockchain on top of Ethereum. Optimism benefits from the security of the Ethereum mainnet and helps scale the Ethereum ecosystem by using optimistic rollups. That means transactions are trustlessly recorded on Optimism but ultimately secured on Ethereum.
Optimism is designed around four core tenets: simplicity,pragmatism,sustainability, optimism.
The ecosystem further emphasizes pragmatism and is driven by the real-world needs and constraints of its own team and the users engaging with the ecosystem. Hence, Optimism aims to build iteratively and implement features like EVM equivalence gradually.
Optimism’s design process is built around the idea of long-term sustainability and not taking shortcuts to scalability. That is why it uses optimistic rollups and takes advantage of the consensus mechanism of Ethereum to scale the network. Blocks are constructed and executed on the L2 (Optimism), while user transactions are batched up and submitted to the L1 (Ethereum). The L2 has no mempool, and transactions are immediately accepted or rejected. This guarantees a smooth user experience while ensuring security through the Ethereum consensus mechanism.
Transactions are submitted to Ethereum without direct proof of validity and can be challenged for a certain period of time (currently seven days). After that, a transaction is considered final. That is why withdrawals from Optimism to Ethereum take seven days to complete.
The initial token supply is 4,294,967,296 OP tokens.Early users of the network has been granted the opportunity to receive OP airdrops in Q2, 2022, which accounts for 5% of the asset’s total supply.
Optimism’s ecosystem consists of over 20 dApps, mainly the Synthetix ecosystem.The market share of Optimism on Layer 2 network is 20.78%,totaling $906 million to date.
Looking at the types of DeFi projects in Optimism, there is a clear lack of variety with almost all TVL being occupied by DEX.
After the announcement of Eth2.0 merge date, OP token increased by 256% to date.
Aleph Zero (AZERO) is a privacy-enhancing, Proof-of-Stake public blockchain with instant finality. Its enterprise-ready, high-performance network is built on a novel, Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based consensus protocol that has been peer-reviewed and presented at an ACM conference. Aleph Zero uses the DAG as an intermediary data structure, but can still be categorized as a blockchain. To date, Aleph Zero raised $20 m for continued development, integrating with the Substrate stack, and expanding the team.
The highest yield after listing on MEXC was 3009%.
Shiba Inu(SHIB) is a meme token created anonymously in August 2020 under the pseudonym “Ryoshi.” This meme coin quickly gained speed and value as a community of investors was drawn in by the cute charm of the coin paired with headlines and tweets from personalities like Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin. Shiba Inu aims to be the Ethereum-based counterpart to Dogecoin’s Srypt-based mining algorithm.
Revolt 2 Earn(RVLT) is CULT DAOs first ecosystem token, and has been built on the Polygon network as a Polygon POS token with 0.4% taxation.Whereas CULT works to fund protocols furthering decentralization, RVLT seeks to support the individuals who are working towards the same goal.
