Source: DigitalToday Original Title: Ethereum Layer 2 Optimism, New Enterprise Strategy Announced Original Link: Optimism, an Ethereum-based Layer 2 solution, has signaled a shift in its long-held 'OP Stack Expansion Strategy'.

Jing Wang, co-founder and CEO of Optimism(, recently stated on social media that “while doing too much, there was a lack of focus,” and pointed out that the strategy of mass-producing partner chains did not adequately respond to market changes.

Therefore, Optimism plans to change its strategy from being a simple chain supporter to a way for businesses to control their own economic structures. Wang emphasized that “ultimately, companies want to control their own economy” and will not remain in a platform-dependent structure.

However, he did not mention the specific methods.

Optimism emerged during the surge in Ethereum transaction fees from 2020 to 2021, gaining attention by providing a cost-effective trading solution. Subsequently, various projects were launched based on the OP stack, which created a foundation for building an independent ecosystem while remaining compatible with Ethereum.

However, the lack of strategy and excessive workforce expansion led to increased costs. The king stated, “We have stayed too long in tactics,” and mentioned that responding to the market without a systematic operational infrastructure has resulted in decreased sustainability.
