Optimism (OP) is one of the leading Ethereum (ETH) Layer-2 scalability solutions. Layer-2 refers to a secondary protocol built on top of an existing blockchain. A Layer-2 solution created on Ethereum, such as Optimism, aims to offer faster transaction speeds and scalability while benefiting from the security of the ETH mainchain.

As it is known, as the number of users and transactions on the Ethereum network increases, scalability problems begin to emerge. Accordingly, while transaction fees on the network have increased, transaction times have also extended. This has caused significant difficulties, especially in the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. Accordingly, many Ethereum scalability projects have been developed. Optimism and its native cryptocurrency OP token are among them.

Tokenomics is an important indicator that cryptocurrency investors look at before making an investment decision. It means "token economy" in Turkish and information about the relevant token is discussed under the title of tokenomics.

It is inevitable that a project with smart and well-designed incentives will perform better than a project that fails to build an ecosystem around its token. In terms of Tokenomics, well-designed projects generate higher demand as new investors flock to the project, which significantly increases the price of the token.
