Infura Launches Support for Optimistic Ethereum
Infura has announced that they are now live with support for the Optimism Layer 2 scaling solution.
Optimistic Ethereum uses an “optimistic rollup” solution to scale smart contracts and enable instant transactions at a fraction of the cost. The Optimistic Virtual Machine (OVM) is a fully-featured, Ethereum-compatible execution environment with smart contracts written in Solidity, making it easy for developers to transition smart contracts over to the Optimistic Ethereum mainnet.
Infura will provide access to the OVM via an API which you can access via your Ethereum API workspace/project list. Infura will support all the necessary API methods for building a fully functional application on the Optimism network.
What is Infura?
Infura provides the tools and infrastructure that allow developers to easily take their blockchain application from testing to scaled deployment – with simple, reliable access to Ethereum and IPFS.
What is Optimism?
Optimism is building the Optimistic Ethereum Network and the Optimistic Virtual machine to keep Ethereum half-full.
