Optimism, a major layer-2 network, has attracted several clients and firms to deploy their own blockchains using its technology, called the OP Stack. To incentivize new networks to use the technology, Optimism has been giving out large sums of OP tokens in the form of grants. The strategy seems to be working as more projects have broken toward the ecosystem, including Uniswap, Sony, and Kraken. The adoption of OP Stack as the de facto choice for scaling layer-2 blockchains is starting to happen, according to Optimism Foundation's chief growth officer. However, it may be too early to conclude whether OP Stack has won the layer-2 race. The article also highlights the transparency issues regarding the disclosure of the amounts of tokens granted to projects using OP Stack. Ultimately, the goal is to reach critical mass and establish OP Stack as the go-to choice for layer-2 solutions.
