Try Quests to earn cryptoOptimism Bridge Distinct Wallets
Optimism is an Optimistic Rollup. Optimistic rollups can process transactions for a much lower price than Ethereum Mainnet (also known as layer 1 or L1) because transactions are only processed by a few nodes, instead of every node on the network. At the same time, the data is all written to L1 so everything can be proved and reconstructed with all the integrity and availability guarantees of Mainnet.
To use L1 assets on Optimism (or any other L2), the assets need to be bridged. One way to achieve this is for users to lock assets (ETH and ERC-20 tokens are the most common ones) on L1, and receive equivalent assets to use on L2. Eventually, whoever ends up with them might want to bridge them back to L1. When doing this, the assets are burned on L2 and then released back to the user on L1.
The bridge has two main flows:
- Deposit (from L1 to L2)
- Withdrawal (from L2 to L1)
