About Optimism

The governance token of an Ethereum rollup and shared OP Stack ecosystem.

Optimism is tracked as the governance token of an Ethereum rollup and shared OP Stack ecosystem.

Optimism appears in this directory for research, not as an endorsement. Its scaling network design should be judged through the documented network, supply, control, and failure model rather than through the OP unit price alone.

How to read the OP price

The displayed OP reference is the latest available observation from OKX for OP/USDT. It belongs to that venue, quote asset, and timestamp; Optimism has no single official global price.

An executable OP order can differ after spread, depth, slippage, fees, payment method, and location. This page therefore labels the USDT quote instead of presenting the stablecoin market as cash USD.
