Explore Optimism, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Build fast and low-cost decentralized applications using its RPC gateway.
The Optimism RPC documentation provides developers with a comprehensive guide to interact with Optimism, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Optimism uses optimistic rollups to achieve low-cost and fast transactions while maintaining the security of the Ethereum mainnet. The documentation includes key API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing transactions, and interacting with smart contracts. Developers can build scalable decentralized applications (dApps) with enhanced performance and lower transaction costs using Optimism’s RPC gateway.
