What is Optimism?

Optimism is a fast, stable, and scalable L2 blockchain built by Ethereum developers, for Ethereum developers. Built as a minimal extension to existing Ethereum software, Optimism's EVM-equivalent architecture scales your Ethereum apps without surprises.

What is so special about Optimism?

Optimism is best understood as one of several solutions trying to address Ethereum’s state-bloat problem. The Ethereum network is fit to burst, and until upgrades to the main blockchain save the day, scaling solutions like Optimism allow Ethereum’s decentralized finance industry to grow and remain usable by those who can’t afford its high transaction fees.

The future of Optimism

Optimism has plenty of funding to carry its work forward; in March 2022, it closed a $150 million Series B funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Paradigm, which saw the startup valued at $1.65 billion. Its roadmap includes updates to the Optimism protocol, such as a next-generation fault proof, sharded rollups and a decentralized sequencer.

That last one is a biggie: While the project is in beta, the team maintains a degree of control over the sequencer—the technology responsible for creating blocks on Optimism.

Optimism has historically been more centralized than Ethereum—whose developers do not possess the capability to, for instance, pause the blockchain or whitelist certain validators. 

However, Optimism took a big step toward decentralization in April 2022, launching a DAO, called the Optimism Collective, to fund public goods and govern the protocol. It also began airdropping newly created OP tokens to Optimism users and others who could help push the DAO—and Optimism's decentralized future—forward.

Conclusion

• The number of bridges on August 4 increased a little.
• the largest bridged volume is $188 million in August 4.
• The most transaction that users did after bridging is transfer.
• 38% of transactions is transfer, 27% of the transactions is swap and 20% of transactions is Approval.
• UniSwap is the most popular platform among new bridge users.

Introduction

In this dashboard you will see:

• Number of Bridges (From Ethereum to Optimism).
• Amount Distinct Wallets (From Ethereum to Optimism).
• Bridge Volume per Assets (From Ethereum to Optimism).
• Bridge Volume (USD) (From Ethereum to Optimism).
• Top Actions after bridge.
• Most popular Protocols.
• Most utilized Protocols after bridge.

• In the first few months of this year, the trend of migration to optimism was almost on the rise, and in August, the number of bridges increased.
• The largest bridged volume(Total USD) from Ethereum to Optimism in one day is for August 4 and the bridged volume is $188 million, which is a very large volume in its own way.

• The most transaction that users did after bridging is transfer.
• During the last month, about 122k transactions have been registered for transfer, which is nearly 38% of the transactions.
• In the second place, swap with 87k transactions has allocated about 27% of the transactions.
• The third place belongs to Approval and 63k transactions have been registered for it during the last month.

• The most popular platform for users who have just completed the bridge is UniSwap.
• Uniswap allocated more than 72% of the transactions to itself, making it the most popular platform for users who have just completed the bridge.
• In the second place Hop protocol allocated 7% of transactions belong to it.
