What is Optimism?
Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to make transactions faster and significantly cheaper than on Ethereum mainnet. Optimism is known for its retroactive public goods funding model, which directs network revenue toward open-source projects that benefit the ecosystem. OP is the governance token used for voting on protocol decisions and treasury allocation. Major DeFi protocols including Aave, Uniswap, and Synthetix are deployed on Optimism.
What is Ethereum Classic?
Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued after the 2016 DAO hack fork. While Ethereum (ETH) reversed the hack through a hard fork, Ethereum Classic preserved the original unaltered chain, adhering to the principle that 'code is law' and blockchains should be immutable. ETC maintains proof-of-work mining and shares much of Ethereum's early technology, supporting smart contracts and dApps. Ethereum Classic appeals to users who value blockchain immutability and decentralization above all else.
