What is Optimism (OP)?
Optimism is a cross-chain layer-2 scaling solution with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. To incentivize the development of a decentralized Web3 ecosystem, the project team formed the Optimism Collective, a new governance model co-governed by the Citizens’ House and the Token House. The Citizens’ House will consist of “citizens” elected by the project team, while the Token House includes all OP token holders.
OP is an ERC20 governance token that allows token holders to participate in voting decisions that shape the future of the Optimism ecosystem. OP tokens will be distributed via a series of airdrops to long-time or active contributors within the Optimism and Ethereum communities.
