    Optimism layer 2 improves the scalability of digital currencies by utilizing a technology called optimistic rollups. This technology allows for the processing of a large number of transactions off-chain, which significantly reduces the burden on the main blockchain. By batching multiple transactions together and submitting them as a single proof to the main chain, optimism layer 2 can achieve high throughput and lower transaction fees. Additionally, optimistic rollups provide faster confirmation times compared to the main chain, making digital currency transactions more efficient and scalable.

    Optimism layer 2 is like a superhighway for digital currencies. It helps to alleviate the congestion on the main blockchain by offloading a large number of transactions onto a secondary layer. This secondary layer, known as the optimism rollup, processes transactions in a more efficient and scalable manner. By doing so, optimism layer 2 improves the overall scalability of digital currencies, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
