How Do You Use Optimism Ethereum?

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of fraud or third party interference.

Optimism is a software company that is building on Ethereum to enable scaling solutions that make Ethereum applications faster, cheaper and more secure.

The Optimism team is made up of experienced developers who have been contributing to Ethereum since its early days. We are building solutions to scaling challenges that have been identified by the Ethereum community and are committed to collaborating with the community to bring these solutions to production.

Our first product, Optimistic Rollup, is a layer-2 scaling solution that enables Ethereum applications to scale without compromising on security or decentralization.

NOTE: WARNING: Ethereum is a complex technology and is not suitable for all users. Before using Optimism Ethereum, users should research and understand the risks associated with the technology. The user should also understand any laws or regulations that may apply to their use of Optimism Ethereum in their jurisdiction. Optimism Ethereum is an experimental technology and users should be aware that there may be risks, including but not limited to loss of funds, technical issues, regulatory concerns, and other unknown factors.

Optimistic Rollup works by encoding data in a Merkle tree and validating it on-chain. This allows us to scale Ethereum applications by orders of magnitude while still maintaining the security guarantees of the underlying protocol.

We are currently working on bringing Optimistic Rollup to mainnet and are actively collaborating with the Ethereum community to ensure a smooth transition.

In the meantime, you can use our testnet faucet to get started with using Optimistic Rollup today.
