Great news! KRL is now available on Optimism, bringing faster transactions and dramatically lower fees to the ecosystem. Say goodbye to high gas costs and hello to a smoother and more efficient experience. This expansion makes KRL more accessible than ever.
What is Optimism?
Optimism is a high-performance Layer 2 scaling solution built on Ethereum, designed to reduce transaction fees and increase throughput while maintaining Ethereum’s security. Utilizing Optimistic Rollups, it processes transactions off-chain before finalizing them on Ethereum, enabling faster and more cost-effective interactions. As one of the most established Layer 2 networks, Optimism has become a hub for DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain gaming, attracting projects that prioritize scalability and affordability.
Why Optimism?
From the start, KRL has been based on Ethereum, benefiting from its robustness and decentralization. However, Ethereum’s rising gas fees have often posed challenges for users. Now, with KRL on Optimism, transactions become significantly cheaper—only a few cents instead of several dollars. This integration enhances accessibility, reduces friction for users, and attracts a broader audience by making it more affordable to buy, trade, and interact with KRL. As Optimism continues to expand within the Ethereum ecosystem, this move further strengthens KRL’s liquidity, adoption, and appeal to both retail and institutional investors.
