Optimism is a blockchain platform used by exchanges, fintech companies, and financial institutions. Its pages make no dated promises we could check. It trades at $0.0991, #161 of all coins by size, 98% below its highest ever price.

This week in the news: burn or buyback, new software release.

A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #2 of 16 rollups. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

Is it real?

The gap, and what to do

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Rollup ($23.79M). To match the leader, Arbitrum ($887.02M), its price would need to rise 289%, to about $0.3857.

Still to check

  • No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged

What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.

A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Does it deliver?

No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Same job, different how

Rollup: this coin next to Arbitrum, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

Optimism says
Optimism is a blockchain platform used by exchanges, fintech companies, and financial institutions.
Arbitrum says
Arbitrum is a technology platform that provides the infrastructure for building financial applications, tokenized assets, and custom blockchains.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

Optimism is a blockchain platform used by exchanges, fintech companies, and financial institutions.

Its listing puts it this way: Optimism is more than just a single blockchain – it's a growing network of chains called the Superchain, all built on the open-source OP Stack.

Problem it says it solves: cheaper transactions on top of Ethereum. 9 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $4,330,706,508.

Where it trades: Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, Bitstamp, Binance

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

The homework: the coin itself, the news, the record

Where today sits against its highest ever price

$0.0991

Highest ever: $4.84 on 6 March 2024. Today is 2% of that.

54%

of all OP that will ever exist is already out in public hands: 2.3B coins.

46% (2B coins) is already created but not in public hands, held by the project or locked in escrow. That is a large share, though not a majority. Those coins can be sold later, which can push the price down.

out held back. Each dot is 1%.

Pays for every use of its network

Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it. That is the built-in reason anyone needs it.

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 54%of the maximum supply is in circulation: 2.3B of 4.29B.
  • 2Bcoins still to be released, 46% of the maximum. Releases can add selling pressure.
  • 1.9×fully diluted value versus today's market cap. The gap is coins not yet released.
  • 2%of its all-time high of $4.84 on 6 March 2024. That is −98.0% from the top.
  • #161by market cap, $227,957,121.
  • Not checkedwho holds the most coins, and how much has been burned. Those need on-chain data this site does not read yet.

Supply and value figures from CoinGecko, refreshed hourly. Not part of the record.

Real use, in dollars
  • Users paid $67.77K in fees to use it in the last 30 days, $66.26K of that kept by the network

From DefiLlama, refreshed nightly. Fees are what people paid to use the thing; value locked is what they trust it to hold. Facts, not a score.
