Whether it’s defi, identity, art, healthcare, or anything in between, a single dependency unites each dream for the future: scalability. We are building the critical infrastructure to address this need. Optimistic Ethereum is an extension to Ethereum that scales both its technology and philosophy. Not only do we enable orders of magnitude more performance, we’re also doubling down on Ethereum’s values as a public good, never to be captured by private commercial interests.
