Location:

Optimism has a significant global presence, driven by its open-source nature and its mission to scale Ethereum for a worldwide audience. Its functions are inherently global: the Optimism network (OP Mainnet) processes transactions for users across the globe; software development involves contributors internationally; the Optimism Collective enables global token holders to participate in governance; and its Retroactive Public Goods Funding program supports projects worldwide. The 'Superchain' vision aims to create an interconnected network of L2s, further expanding its global utility.
