Publish0x, my favorite platform for writing and blogging about crypto, is switching its tipping tokens to The Optimism Network.

This is reason enough to look at the most popular applications and integrations in the Optimism Network.

Let's make the most out of your Publish0x earnings! 

What is Optimism?

Optimism is one of the most popular Layer 2 solutions for the Ethereum blockchain to speed up the transaction time at just a fraction of the costs on the base layer of Ethereum. Both, users and developers of applications are profiting from the higher speed at much lower costs.

In the end, it is just a tiny but effective extension on top of Ethereum to enhance its performance. 

Why Are Applications And Integrations So Important? 

Right now there are more than a hundred L1/L2 networks listed on GeckoTerminal. It seems that all the investors prefer throwing their money into crypto infrastructure than into useful applications built on them. 

The issue is that without any integrations or applications, you can't do much with your tokens. The result is a horde of zombie blockchains from Layer 1 to Layer 3.

If you really want to do something with your tokens on any of the Layer 1, Layer 2, or even Layer 3 networks then you need to have the right integrations and Applications that you can interact with. 

The Top Integrations And Applications 

• Let's begin with the most important integrations of the Optimism Network. First of all, you don't need to install a special wallet to interact with the Optimism Ecosystem since it is already integrated into the most popular crypto wallets such as Coinbase Wallet, Brave Wallet, Taho Wallet, Trust Wallet, Krystal Wallet, and many more. 
• What is most important for most of you is probably that Binance has integrated the Optimism Network into their platform, meaning you can withdraw your $ETH, $OP, and $USDC directly from Publish0x to Binance. Another major exchange that supports the Optimism Network is Coinbase. These big crypto exchanges are also a good place to on-ramp funds to the Optimism Network.
• When it comes to integrations with crypto wallets and exchanges, the Optimism Network is an excellent choice.
• You can interact with lots of DeFi applications such as the likes of Uniswap, 1inch, SushiSwap, Aave, Beefy, Curve Finance, and many more.
• The best bridge to instantly send assets between the optimism network and other Layer 2 as well as from and to the Ethereum base chain is Across.
• Last but not least, you can also access several NFT marketplaces via the Optimism Network including OpenSea. 

My Final Conclusion

These are the most important integrations and applications of the Optimism Network. Let me know in the comments if I missed anything. Additionally, I'm curious about your plans for your Publish0x earnings. Will you be sending them directly to Binance for trading purposes, or to your wallet for interacting with decentralized applications?
