Optimism is an Ethereum-compatible layer-2 project that hopes to solve Ethereum’s scalability issues while functioning similarly to the Ethereum blockchain.is an Ethereum layer-2 scalability solution led by The Optimism Collective — an organization of dedicated communities aiming to build their vision of an equitable internet. The collective covers all of Optimism’s branches, such as OP Labs, OP Chains and the Optimism Foundation..
Bedrock is the OP Stack’s current iteration, which offers a set of tools for developers to build their own layer-2 blockchain. Said blockchain can take advantage of optimistic rollups. However, Bedrock is just the start of Optimism’s community-driven development goals. Theoretically, developers could build a blockchain for whatever purpose they desire on top of Optimism’s OP stack. That chain could harness the security of Ethereum — the network Optimism’s superchain is built on top of — while developing its intended solution. By building this unified network of blockchains, the Optimism team hopes to solve the
