What is Optimism (OP)?
OP est le jeton de gouvernance d’Optimism, qui est une solution de mise à l’échelle de rollup optimiste de niveau 2 pour le réseau Ethereum. En tant que solution de mise à l’échelle, Optimism entend tirer parti de la sécurité d’Ethereum tout en améliorant le débit, la latence et les coûts des transactions. Les développeurs peuvent créer des dApps sur Optimism comme ils le feraient sur Ethereum, et ces dApps devraient fonctionner à des coûts réduits grâce à la technologie de rollup d’Optimism. Le jeton OP a été émis pour la première fois en mai 2022 afin de présenter le collectif Optimism à la communauté et de permettre la gouvernance de la DAO par le biais du vote sur la chaîne.

At Coinsquare, we offer customers the power of easy transactions and cold storage security. Client assets are securely stored 1 to 1 in cold storage with approved custodians, kept separate from operational funds, and never utilized for lending purposes.
All client assets are held in trust with external, licensed custodians with a combined $680M USD in insurance. Additionally, CCML maintains Vault Risk insurance beyond those of its custodians that cover risks related to the cold storage of its clients’ crypto assets. And the cash held in your account is insured against insolvency by the Canadian Investment Protection Fund (CIPF).
