Optimism
Optimism is an EVM-compatible, layer 2, rollup scaling solution with single-round, fault proofs.
The Optimism network submits faster and cheaper transactions to Ethereum.
Developers connect via
Optimism's L2-geth node API
. L2-geth is based on Go Ethereum (Geth)'s JSON-RPC implementation.
To use Optimism,
create an Ethereum project
and select the relevant Optimism add-on from the list of endpoints.
For more information on the Optimism network, please see the
official Optimism developer documentation
.
Developers should be aware of some important differences between the behavior of Ethereum and Optimism. For more information, check out:
