About Optimism
Optimism is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution using Optimistic Rollup technology, developed by OP Labs. It's one of the earliest and most widely adopted Ethereum scaling networks, hosting major DeFi protocols like Synthetix, Velodrome, and Uniswap. Optimism's Superchain vision aims to create a network of interoperable L2 chains sharing the same security model. OP token is used for governance within the Optimism Collective, which uses a dual governance system of token holders and citizen NFT holders.

How to Swap OP
Swapping Optimism (OP) on SyntheticSwap requires no account or KYC. OP is an Optimism Layer 2 token, supported by MetaMask (Optimism network), Rainbow, Trust Wallet, and Ledger. Open SyntheticSwap, select OP, choose your desired output asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the floating rate. Optimism's fast finality means your swap settles quickly — the destination asset arrives directly in your wallet.
How to Store OP
OP tokens work with any Ethereum-compatible wallet. MetaMask configured with the Optimism network is the most widely used option. Coinbase Wallet and Rainbow Wallet have native Optimism support. Hardware wallets like Ledger support OP when connected through MetaMask with Optimism selected. Make sure to use the Optimism network to access Optimism-native DeFi opportunities.
