Optimism fundamentals by Token Terminal

A space to discuss the fundamentals of ‘Optimism’.

Hey Optimism community :wave:

We at Token Terminal have introduced a governance forum for public discussion around the data displayed on the platform.

Going forward, we’ll start sharing Optimism-focused monthly data updates on the TT forum, and cross-post them here as well for further discussion.

Looking forward to being an active participant in the OP community!

Interesting suggestion to track activity in the Optimism ecosystem right inside the forum, I like this idea
Thanks to the Token Terminal team for a similar implementation, I think it would be useful

hello its good :grinning:i like this choise adn very glad for u

greetings,
It really sounds like a great idea. Although it is a bit complicated. I have to spend some time on it to figure it out. An amazing idea to have a place to discuss Optimism matters profoundly.

Hi there.

Token Terminal is my favorite go to place for checking metrics.

In competition section of optimism I see polygon and arbitrum. But polygon is a separate chain and not a rollup and doesn’t have the same security of a rollup. I guess over time you can remove polygon and instead add zk rollups to get a better understanding of positioning of optimism among L2s.

Kindly,
Lian

Hey Lian!

Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, Polygon PoS is a sidechain, which is fundamentally different from a rollup. In the Blockchains (L2) market sector, you can filter out chains by clicking them in the chart’s legend (below the chart).

Best regards,
