What is Optimism (OP)?
Optimism is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that was launched in 2022. It is the second largest rollup chain at the time of writing, following Arbitrum, with $857.1 million in total value locked. The chain introduces a new rollup mechanism called optimistic rollup, which has been so useful that other rollup chains such as Arbitrum and MetisDAO have adopted this mechanism.
How Optimism (OP) Works
At the core of the Optimism blockchain is the optimistic rollup mechanism. It has that name because all transactions when bundled and submitted to layer 1 are considered valid until proven otherwise. Validators of layer 1 can challenge potentially invalid transactions, and if the transactions are proven invalid, gas fee for running the fraud proof is reimbursed and the layer-2 nodes executing that transaction are punished.
The fuel that drives the growth of Optimism is the OP token. It powers both the governance and use cases of the blockchain.

The desert kingdom that is Saudi Arabia has known during the last two millennia two epochs of light, two golden ages. Saudi Arabia is the leading oil-producing country in the world. The country is also known for its hot and desert climate. English is widely used, while other languages spoken in the kingdom are Indonesian, Somali, Tagalog, Urdu, and Western Persian. The local currency is Saudi Riyal (SAR).
The surface of the Saudi territory is mainly occupied by deserts. However, the country shows very different faces. In the south, the Sarawat mountains are green. In the center, the Nadj is a steep region. The West and the North are covered with lava that creates huge sandy areas. The country is bathed by the Red Sea on its western part and the Persian Gulf on the east. Saudi Arabia covers more than 45% of the Arabian Peninsula. Some rivers cross the country. However, in the dry season, they are completely dried up.
Saudi Arabia's economy is mainly based on oil. It is, to this day, the leading producer of black gold, with more than a quarter of the world's total production locked up in its subsoil. Tourism is also an actor that plays an increasingly important role. In addition to pilgrimages, the country welcomes more and more travelers and can thus diversify its economy.
