About Optimism
Optimism is an optimistic-rollup L2 that batches Ethereum transactions and posts proofs to Ethereum mainnet, inheriting security while offering ~10x cheaper execution. OP is the governance token of the Optimism Collective. Block time is ~2 seconds; withdrawal to L1 is delayed by the 7-day challenge window (a swap sidesteps this by paying out natively, not by bridging).
How to swap Optimism (OP) without KYC
