Optimism is a low-cost and lightning-fast Ethereum L2 blockchain. It's open source, secure, permissionless, and decentralized.
We pledge to uphold the values of Ethereum by producing infrastructure that promotes the growth and sustainability of public goods.
We're a Public Benefit Corporation, a for profit corporation that is obligated to balance the financial interests of our stockholders with the best interests of our community, and society.
Not only are we writing software that scales Ethereum technology, we are also scaling Ethereum values by creating the rails for highly impactful projects that don’t have a business model to succeed.
Until the project is fully decentralized, we will be donating all profits from running a centralized sequencer towards scaling and sustaining public goods.
