What Are Optimism Gas Fees?
Optimism gas fees are the transaction costs associated with executing operations on the Optimism Layer 2 network, which aims to scale Ethereum by reducing congestion and lowering fees. These fees, paid in ETH, are typically much lower than those on the Ethereum mainnet, enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions. Understanding Optimism gas fees can help users optimize their costs when interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) on this layer-2 network.
