What is Optimism (OP)?
Optimism is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that was launched in 2022. It is the second largest rollup chain at the time of writing, following Arbitrum, with $857.1 million in total value locked. The chain introduces a new rollup mechanism called optimistic rollup, which has been so useful that other rollup chains such as Arbitrum and MetisDAO have adopted this mechanism.
How Optimism (OP) Works
At the core of the Optimism blockchain is the optimistic rollup mechanism. It has that name because all transactions when bundled and submitted to layer 1 are considered valid until proven otherwise. Validators of layer 1 can challenge potentially invalid transactions, and if the transactions are proven invalid, gas fee for running the fraud proof is reimbursed and the layer-2 nodes executing that transaction are punished.
The fuel that drives the growth of Optimism is the OP token. It powers both the governance and use cases of the blockchain.

Situated between Sicily and the North African coast is the archipelago of Malta, a Southern European country most famous for its wonderful Mediterranean climate and scenery. While its own population comes in at just slightly over half a million people, the series of islands attracts a whopping 1.6 million tourists every year. In 2019, it even set a new record of 2.1 million tourists that year. Naturally, its economy relies heavily on tourism, although manufacturing and foreign trade also play a significant role in contributing to the country’s GDP.
Valletta stands as Malta’s capital city and is located on the main island. Although the city holds huge importance for the nation’s administrative branch, it’s ranked as the smallest capital city in the entire European Union, spanning just 0.61 square kilometers in area and with a population of just over 6000. Due to the historic nature of its architecture, the entire Valletta has also been officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1980, and is now home to a staggering 320 monuments, giving it the description “open-air museum.” Some of the most famous sites include St. John’s Co-Cathedral, the upper Barrakka Gardens, Fort St. Elmo, the Saluting Battery, and Casa Rocca Piccola.
Malta has adopted the Euro (EUR) as its national currency, and with direct support from Bitget, you can purchase Optimism(OP) in just a matter of minutes no matter where you are in the country, whether it’s Valletta, Mdina, Sliema, St. Julian’s, or Birgu.
