Disclosures

Optimism risk

This material is for informational purposes only and is not exhaustive of all risks associated with trading Optimism. All crypto assets are risky, there are general risks in investing in Optimism. These include volatility risk, liquidity risk, demand risk, forking risk, cryptography risk, regulatory risk, concentration risk & cyber security risk. This is not intended to provide (i) investment advice or an investment recommendation; (ii) an offer or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold crypto assets; or (iii) financial, accounting, legal or tax advice. Profits may be subject to capital gains tax. You should carefully consider whether trading or holding crypto assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. Please review the Risk Summary for additional information.

Investment Risk

The performance of most crypto assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto assets.

Lack of Protections

Crypto assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto asset investments.

Liquidity Risk

There is no guarantee that investments in crypto assets can be easily sold at any given time.

Complexity

Investments in crypto assets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment. You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Concentration Risk

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on anyone to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.

Five questions to ask yourself

  1. Am I comfortable with the level of risk? Can I afford to lose my money?
  2. Do I understand the investment and could I get my money out easily?
  3. Are my investments regulated?
  4. Am I protected if the investment provider or my adviser goes out of business?
  5. Should I get financial advice?

#Polygon $POL @0xPolygon This might be the fastest operation to achieve a small target in history~ and the principal only needs 10U. On the 1st of National Day holiday, open Binance with 10U to buy $4 →→→ by the 3rd, you can earn 7000U. On the 3rd, use 7000U to buy $Binance life. Today, earn 7000*2000=14 million U. In 7 days, use 10 dollars to rake in over 100 million soft sister coins. Looking back, is making money as easy as breathing! Brothers, if you made money, hit 1. Behind this frenzy, CZ's role cannot be ignored. Since he returned to the public eye, every like, retweet, or casual comment he makes on Twitter triggers massive on-chain capital flows. CZ's operation this time is actually transforming himself from the CEO of an exchange to the conductor of emotions. This is interesting. He no longer needs to participate directly in trading; a like is an alpha signal. The market treats him as a barometer, which is more effective than any technical analysis. But there is a problem here: a market driven by emotions comes quickly and leaves just as fast. When PALU rises by 300%, it can also drop quickly. Most of the followers will become bag holders. The truly smart money is actually positioned before CZ even likes something. When he likes it, it's time to sell. Everyone wants to know what CZ will like; what's more important is what he won't like. This thing called emotional consensus is easy to establish but collapses even easier. When everyone is waiting for CZ's signal, that signal becomes ineffective. The market is always changing; today's spiritual leader may be yesterday's forgotten flower tomorrow. Not understanding means not participating; understanding means being able to judge how long this emotion can last. I basically do not participate in this kind of emotional market; at most, I buy a few tens or hundreds of U to gamble on a lottery. At this moment, I would like to share a project I have already invested in: $POL. This wave of POL's pullback to 0.24 dollars is actually a normal washout in the Layer2 track. From a technical perspective, the current position is very similar to last year's ETH when it was hovering around 1500 dollars; the RSI has dropped to 32, which is clearly oversold, and the Bollinger Bands have narrowed to the extreme. In this case, it is usually a signal of being ready to take off. I checked the performance of Layer2 tokens over the past two years; after each deep pullback like this, the average rebound is over 40%. The fundamentals of POL are actually more solid than many people think. In September, the migration from MATIC to POL reached 99%, indicating strong community consensus. More importantly, the TVL increased from 1.5 billion to 2.2 billion, a growth of 46%, which is quite good in the current market environment. On-chain data shows that the number of holding addresses increased from 5 million to 6.2 million, with new wallets growing by 25%. Interestingly, large holders sold 10% of their positions, while small holders are hoarding, with holding duration increasing from 10 days to 18 days. This kind of differentiation looks like smart money is picking up at low levels. From the futures market perspective, the long-short ratio is 1:1.05, with slight superiority for shorts, but the open interest has decreased by 12%, indicating that short power is weakening. The leverage ratio has dropped from 12 times to 8 times, and market sentiment is becoming more rational. I believe this pullback is mainly due to the Fed's hawkish speech and the sideways movement of BTC, which is essentially not closely related to POL's fundamentals. The AggLayer aggregation layer technology indeed has innovative value and can solve the problem of fragmented liquidity across multiple chains, which is significant in the current multi-chain coexistence pattern. The RWA track has indeed taken off this year; AlloyX has launched a currency fund, and Standard Chartered is the custodian. This combination of TradFi and DeFi is a major trend. Wyoming's FRNT stablecoin choosing Polygon is also a form of government-level recognition to some extent. From a position management perspective, I recommend building positions in batches, with the first batch entering in the 0.24-0.25 range, setting a stop loss at 0.22, and targeting 0.35-0.40. In terms of risk control, the total position should not exceed 10%, as the Layer2 track is highly competitive, with OP and ARB competing for market share. However, to be fair, most of the time trading these altcoins can actually be done without too much macro research; the key is to clearly see the technical trends and capital flows. At the current position, the risk-reward ratio is still quite suitable; it just depends on whether you can hold on to it.

Dive deeper into Optimism

To tackle scalability issues and high transaction costs on the Ethereum network, Optimism has emerged as a compelling Layer 2 solution. Functioning as an off-chain network layered on top of Ethereum, Optimism extends the capabilities of the blockchain. Fueled by its native token OP, the platform aims to alleviate Ethereum's challenges and enhance its performance.

What is Optimism

Optimism (OP), also known as Optimistic Ethereum (OE), is a Layer 2 solution built to address the scalability issues of the Ethereum network. At its core, Optimism utilizes a technology known as optimistic rollups. This technology bundles, or rolls up, multiple transactions into a single transaction, significantly improving the speed and cost of transactions. As Optimism is built on top of Ethereum’s architecture, developers and users can make use of the speedy and low-cost transactions whilst having the security of the Ethereum blockchain. 

The Optimism team

The Optimism team comprises a group of dedicated blockchain experts, including Jaynti Kanani, Jinglan Wang, Ilya Polosukhin, Ben Jones, Paul Hauner, and Matteo Rizzi.

How does Optimism work

When a user initiates a transaction, it's executed on the Optimism network rather than directly on the Ethereum mainnet. Throughout this process, Optimism maintains communication with Ethereum's Layer 1 and leaves the original network unchanged. This is achieved through optimistic rollups, which consolidate multiple transactions into a single batch submitted to Ethereum. 

By adopting this approach, the computational burden on the Ethereum mainnet is lessened, resulting in faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees. Ultimately, Optimism plays a pivotal role in alleviating strain on the Ethereum network, consequently reducing congestion and associated high fees.

Optimism’s native token: OP

OP is the token of the Optimism ecosystem, crucial in securing and powering the Optimism network. The token also serves as incentivizes and rewards for validators who correctly process and confirm transactions. Validators are able to stake OP tokens as collateral, which can be confiscated if they act maliciously.

OP tokenomics

There is a maximum supply of 4,294,967,296 OP tokens. The supply of OP tokens is carefully controlled and released into the market via strategic allocation methods such as staking rewards, developer incentives, and ecosystem grants. This approach ensures a balanced and sustainable distribution of tokens, maintaining the long-term stability and health of the Optimism ecosystem.

OP use cases

The primary purpose of the OP token is governance. This encompasses various essential functions, including allowing token holders to cast votes pertaining to proposed updates to the protocol as well as distribution of incentives for projects through the Governance Fund. Additionally, it facilitates the funding of projects hosted on the Optimism platform. OP holders are also allowed to engage in project management alongside other OP Citizens.

Distribution of OP

OP’s distribution is as follows:

  • 25 percent: Ecosystem fund
  • 20 percent: Retroactive Public Goods Spending (RetroPGF), an experimental spending mechanism designed to align with OP's objective of equating impact with profit.
  • 19 percent: Airdropped to the community
  • 19 percent: Awarded to core contributors
  • 17 percent: Given to investors

Optimism: The road ahead

On the project's horizon is the launch of a public mainnet, marking a significant milestone that will elevate Optimism's capabilities. Looking ahead, Optimism aims to become the leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. The project envisions a future where Ethereum's transaction processing capabilities skyrocket to millions per second while upholding its foundational principles of security and decentralization.
