Optimism (OP)

936 Articles 46 Followers

Per Coingecko, OP is the token for the Optimism Collective that governs the Optimism L2 blockchain. The Optimism Collective is a large-scale experiment in digital democratic governance, built to drive rapid and sustainable growth of a decentralized ecosystem, and stewarded by the newly formed Optimism Foundation. OP governs upgrades to the protocol and network parameters, and creates an ongoing system of incentives for projects and users in the Optimism ecosystem. 5.4% of the total token supply will be distributed to projects on Optimism over the next six months via governance. If you're building something in the Ethereum ecosystem, you can consider applying for the grant.

POL — The Next Crypto to Get Wrecked by Its Own Narrative?

20 Feb 2026 1 minute read 3 comments Bfab

As you already know, I withdrew 5$ to my newly created MetaMask wallet last week. (Keep in mind, Metamask is still a new tool for me.) But I can't do anything with them. Every time I try to withdraw them to a "Token swap" website, the wallet screams...
