In a strategic move to align with its vision of building a network of interconnected Layer 2 blockchains, Optimism has rebranded itself as OP Mainnet. The name change signifies the distinction between the core blockchain infrastructure and the encompassing ethos of “Optimism.”
The Optimism Foundation announced the news, stating that:
This distinction makes clear the delineation between the OP Mainnet blockchain and the Collective, vibe, and ethos that “Optimism” encompasses.
Under the OP Mainnet umbrella, the foundational layer of this visionary network has already attracted significant attention, boasting a total value locked exceeding $1.3 billion.
