Optimism is now integrated into Validation Cloud’s Node API. Validation Cloud is proud to support Optimism developers with our fast, secure, and reliable node infrastructure.
What is Optimism?
Optimism is a collaborative network aiming to build a more sustainable future for Ethereum by rewarding public goods and fostering community-driven projects. Optimism’s vision is to create an equitable internet by utilizing an open-source framework called the OP Stack to create a unified blockchain ecosystem known as the Superchain. Governance is decentralized and transparent, empowering community members to shape the project's direction. Through initiatives like Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF), Optimism incentivizes contributions that benefit the broader community.
Optimism Use Cases and Features
For developers seeking a fast and affordable network to build their decentralized applications, Optimism offers several key features such as shared upgrades, security, ecosystem support, and funding. Users can inherit the upgrades from the OP Stack and benefit from Optimism’s stringent security and incident response. Optimism offers users ways to jumpstart their projects including pre-deployed infrastructure and cross-chain growth campaigns.
