Optimism Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that is built on top of the main chain to boost its performance. As you can guess from its name, Optimism Network uses an optimistic roll-up technique to achieve these results.
Optimistic rollups batch up transactions off-chain, submitting them in bulk to the Ethereum mainnet for verification. The great thing about Optimism Network is that transactions are processed much faster and cheaper than in the Ethereum mainnet.
Optimism Network is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it a great network for dApp developers. Some of the most popular decentralized applications on Optimism include Synthetix, Uniswap, and Aave.
