What is USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum?

USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, issued by Circle. Unlike algorithmic stablecoins, USDC is backed by cash and short-term US Treasury bonds, with regular attestations of reserves. USDC is widely used across DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, and providing liquidity, and is accepted as payment by a growing number of merchants. As an ERC-20 token, USDC benefits from Ethereum's vast ecosystem but incurs gas fees for transfers.

OP

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.
