According to Foresight News, Optimism announced the launch of the Optimist NFT series. Optimist NFT is currently in the testing phase and will first be open to users who voted in the second round of Retrospective Public Product Fundraising (RetroPGF 2). Starting in early 2023, it will invite hundreds of active addresses per month to mint.

Optimism said that Optimist NFT is a customizable PFP project that can represent the identity of users in the Optimism ecosystem. Optimist NFT is also one of the first applications built on AttestationStation, a reputation contract on Optimism.
