Optimism

Optimism approaches lower-cost execution through OP Mainnet optimistic rollup and a supporting layer of fault proof system. Users and developers interact with retroactive public goods funding and Optimism Collective governance, while Ethereum settlement and data shapes the route between application execution and final settlement. Editorial work on Optimism should connect application performance with settlement, data availability, fees, governance, and the practical reliability of Ethereum settlement and data. Bridge incidents may use both entries, but the defining question here is their effect on Optimism's scaling system and Ethereum settlement and data.
