Optimism, an Ethereum-based layer-2 blockchain has taken a step towards promoting user trust with the launch of Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS). This on-chain attestation protocol allows users to assess trustworthiness of the platform’s user and vouch for whether an action did or did not happen on the blockchain.

Powered by EAS, users have the ability to attest to information and events to boost fairness and better inform community voting systems on Optimism. Therefore, whether it is a person’s work on a certain project, his success with trades or any other verified events, EAS allows users to quickly stamp them as true on the blockchain.

EAS’s launch not just allows users to validate content but also enables developers to create products such as an aggregated rating system for DeFi users’ reputations and identity products across multiple networks.

One of the biggest potential beneficiaries of EAS are the members of Optimism Collective. An entity that rewards winner of the ecosystem’s contributor with crypto, will now be able to use EAS to quickly assess who will be receiving OP tokens and for what purpose. This incentive helps developers to building better infrastructure on Optimism and improve user’s experiences.

At the same time, thanks to the on-chain records, analysts will be able to inspect and track the movement of OP tokens across the entire ecosystem making it completely transparent and trustworthy. Subsequently, it will also reduce any chances of malpractice or token dumping.

The use of EAS, not just enhances trustworthiness of Optimism, but also helps to motivate users to follow people who can vouch for them and confirm their work on the Ethereum blockchain. Ultimately, helping them to achieve their goals for collective growth.
