Crypto daily spotlight
Brief introduction: Optimism is the first Ethereum Layer-2 to develop an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible Optimistic Rollup solution. It relies on a fraud-proof mechanism to ensure the legitimacy of the transactions. Optimism sits in parallel with the Ethereum blockchain, therefore, unlike sidechains such as Ronin, rollups like Optimism can inherit their security from the Ethereum mainnet.
Why it matters:
The Layer 2 scaling network Optimism launched its new token on Tuesday, down as low as $0.79 from its listing price of $4.57
Optimism first introduced OP token in April when it unveiled “the Optimism Collective.” The team behind it promised that there would be “an entire season of airdrops”
According to data from Dune Analytics, this airdrop has led to a tremendous increase in the number of transacting addresses on Optimism, jumping 150% from 7.6k to 19k over the past 24 hours
