OP is the governance token of Optimism, which is a layer-2 optimistic rollup scaling solution for the Ethereum network. As a scaling solution, Optimism intends to leverage Ethereum’s security while improving its transaction throughput, latency, and costs. Developers can build dApps on Optimism as they would on Ethereum, and those dApps should operate at reduced costs due to Optimism’s rollup technology. The OP token was first issued in May 2022 as means of introducing the Optimism Collective to the community to accommodate DAO governance through on-chain voting.
