Optimism is a large network with a TVL reaching over 600m. Initially, the Optimism network was considered Ethereum's layer 2 network, but recently, they denied that OP is not Ethereum's L2 network. OP's ambition is to become a "Superchain," with projects building Layer 2 based on the SDK toolkit called OP Stack.
OP Stack is an SDK toolkit that allows developers to build a Layer 2 platform on Ethereum easily. Optimism says OP Stack is a modular source code with high extensibility, and this is not simply a "rollup or an optimistic solution." This set of solutions shared by Optimism will be the foundation of a development roadmap into Modular Blockchain.
After OP Stack launched, many big players used this toolkit from Optimism to build Layer 2 blockchains, such as Base, opBNB, Zora, Celo, and DeBank. Layer 2s built on the OP Stack will be called Op-chains, and the synthesis of many Op-chains will form a Superchain.
