Rank 140 by market cap
Transactions execute off the main chain and only the result is posted to Ethereum — that is how an optimistic rollup works, with disputed state challenged by a fraud proof. Optimism's code, known as the OP Stack, became the basis for a whole family of chains joined into the Superchain. Governance is split into two houses: one votes with tokens, the other with participant reputation. The project is also known for handing out funding retroactively to those who already helped the ecosystem.
The maximum supply is capped at 4.29 B OP.
Optimism is grouped under: Smart Contract Platform, Governance.

Optimism is ranked #140 by market capitalisation, at 332.76M $. Market capitalisation is price multiplied by circulating supply, so it moves with both — a coin can climb the ranking without its price rising, simply by issuing more.
2.30 B OP are in circulation, which is 53.5 % of the declared maximum. The remainder enters the market on the schedule written into the protocol, and until it does, the circulating figure is what market capitalisation is computed from — not the cap.
Over the last twelve months the price of OP fell by 83.8 %. That is the change of the quote itself and says nothing about what comes next: crypto drawdowns of tens of percent within a year are ordinary, not exceptional.
Optimism is a token issued on the Optimism network rather than a coin of its own blockchain. Practically that means transfers are paid for in the network's own currency, and the token's fate is tied to that network as well as to its own project.

Withdrawing from an optimistic rollup goes through a challenge period of about a week — the price of not using zero-knowledge proofs.
