About Optimism

Optimism is a L2 optimistic rollup network in the Ethereum ecosystem that settles to ethereum.

Optimism EVM account execution

OP Mainnet is an OP Stack optimistic rollup with sequenced L2 execution and Ethereum settlement. Its canonical withdrawal model has different timing from ordinary L2 inclusion, and OP Mainnet token contracts are distinct from Ethereum and other OP Stack chains. Token transfers can involve contract calls and approvals; the 0x address syntax does not make balances portable to another EVM chain.

Optimism L2 inclusion and settlement

Optimism uses a optimistic rollup design and settles to ethereum. L2 execution and settlement progress are separate milestones.

Optimism incoming and outgoing route map

8 outgoing bridge directions, 8 incoming bridge directions, and 2016 exact swap routes are currently represented. Each direction has separate source gas, destination address, and representation checks.

Recorded assets on Optimism

DAI, ETH, LINK, OP, TRX, USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH are recorded for this network. Native balances and contract tokens must still be distinguished in the exact route.

Current provider mapping scope

Optimism has one recorded provider mapping. Availability remains conditional on the exact asset pair, direction, amount, and current quote.

Mistakes specific to Optimism

Confirm Optimism, its evm 0x account address, and the exact asset representation before sending. Keep ETH available for network gas when a transaction is required.

Private Route

Optimism wallet history, token transfers, approvals, contract interactions, logs, gas funding, amounts, and timing remain public. Private Route is designed to reduce the direct visible relationship between source and destination activity; it does not hide Optimism blockchain history. Availability depends on the exact asset, direction, amount, provider, and current route conditions.
