Optimism - Average Portfolio
Introduction
What Is Optimism?
Optimism is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. It helps reduce the transaction fee and transaction time on the Ethereum blockchain.
Broadly speaking, Optimism helps solve Ethereum’s scalability dilemma. Scalability refers to the rate of transactions per second (TPS) on a blockchain network.
How Optimism Solves Scalability Issues on the Ethereum Network
It's understood that Ethereum is one of the most secure and decentralized blockchains in existence. To keep everything running smoothly, the network is built around three properties: Decentralization, security and scalability. However, because of the limitations due to the blockchain trilemma, Ethereum can only deploy two out of these three properties effectively.
To keep the network functional, the governing body behind Ethereum decided to sacrifice scalability for the sake of security and decentralization. As of this writing, Ethereum has reached its capacity to handle more than one million transactions per day. When this occurs, the Ethereum network cannot scale anymore and will become congested as a result.
Once the blockspace becomes scarce, users on the Ethereum network enter a bidding war in an attempt to get their transactions on the next block. As a result, the gas price rises, making it significantly less affordable for an average user to benefit from a transaction. Besides paying a high gas fee, users on the Ethereum network must also endure long wait times for their transactions to clear.
