Optimism (OP) is Ethereum’s leading optimistic rollup powering the OP Stack Superchain (50+ chains including Base & Worldcoin), enabling off-chain batching with L1 security via 7-day fault-proof challenges. Granite hard fork (Sep 2025) enhanced security and Bedrock upgrades boosted TPS and reduced fees.
Key Stats (Dec 6, 2025):
Price: $1.45 | Market Cap: $1.7B
Circulating Supply: 1.17B / Max 4.29B | Rank #45
Superchain TVL: $17B | OP Mainnet: $3.2B
Daily Txns: 1M+ | DEX Volume: $280M
Avg Fee: $0.001 | TPS: 100+
2025 Highlights:
Granite Hard Fork: Fixed permissionless faults; FPVM for EVM disputes
Bedrock & Fusaka: 90% calldata cost reduction; LayerZero interop across 150+ chains
Superchain Expansion: 50+ OP Stack chains, $125M grants for gaming/RWA projects
Metrics: 1M+ daily txns, sub-second UX, 99.99% uptime, 39 audits
Fault-Proof Security:
Cannon/FPVM dispute system with staked penalties
7-day challenge window ensures L1-like security
Data availability on L1; Guardian multisig for emergencies
No exploits post-Granite; quantum-resistant via Ethereum PoS
Scalability:
Horizontal Superchain enables unlimited throughput
Shared liquidity, atomic swaps, and cross-rollup composability
Mainnet TPS 100+, daily txns 1M+, TVL $3.2B (Superchain $17B)
Metric OP Mainnet (Dec 2025) Notes
TPS 100+ Blobs + batching; peaks 9K theoretical
Avg Fee $0.001 Sub-cent for DeFi & gaming
Daily Txns 1M+ Superchain total: 5M+
Superchain TVL $17B RWAs $2B+
Chains 50+ OP Stack expansion
Challenges & Risks:
Sequencer & Guardian centralization (Stage 1); Stage 2 full decentralization in 2026
7-day withdrawal delay vs. ZK instant finality
Competition: Arbitrum ($18B TVL), zkSync (faster proofs)
Monthly 2% OP unlocks pressure price
💡 Outlook: Superchain poised for $30B TVL, OP $2–$3. Bull: ZK hybrid + sequencer decentralization → $2.50–$3.50. Bear: Delays → retest $1.20. Short-term support $1.40; resistance $1.60.
