PAW Chain now supports Optimism (OP) Chain

We are excited to announce that PAW Chain, our Layer 3 blockchain, now supports the Optimism (OP) Chain, marking the 7th network added to PAW Chain's L3 architecture. This integration allows projects to scale more efficiently and opens up new opportunities for developers and users alike within our ecosystem.
‍

What is the Optimism (OP) Chain?

Optimism is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, designed to improve transaction speeds and reduce costs while maintaining Ethereum’s strong security. OP enables projects to enjoy the benefits of Ethereum's security alongside increased scalability and cost-efficiency. By integrating with Optimism, PAW Chain users and developers can now access these advantages for their projects.

Why This Matters for PAW Chain Projects

The Optimism Chain integration within PAW Chain offers significant benefits for current and future projects by enabling enhanced scalability, including:

• Faster transactions: With reduced gas fees and quicker processing times, end-users will experience smoother interactions.
  
  
• Cost-efficiency: Optimism significantly lowers the cost of on-chain operations, a crucial factor for project scalability.
  
  
• Expanded user base: Supporting Optimism means PAW Chain projects can connect with a broader audience and build trust within the wider crypto community.
  
  
• New development opportunities: By tapping into the Optimism network, projects can explore new possibilities, build innovative applications, and attract more developers and users.

How This Integration Benefits the Community

Integrating Optimism into PAW Chain creates exciting possibilities for collaboration and cross-chain projects. Existing projects can tap into Optimism's growing ecosystem, while new projects will find it easier to launch and scale, with increased access to resources and a larger user base.

For Projects Looking to Deploy on Optimism via PAW Chain

For projects already on PAW Chain or those migrating from another network, the process to deploy on Optimism is straightforward. However, new projects that wish to operate on Optimism will need to deploy there first before moving to PAW Chain. We are happy to guide development teams through this process alongside our onboarding support. As our platform evolves, the upcoming PAW Chain launchpad will automate this process, eliminating the need for manual deployment steps.

Here’s a quick guide:

1. Connect your wallet: You will now see the option to select the Optimism Chain when prompted in the wallet popup.
   
   
2. Prepare your smart contracts: Ensure your contracts are Layer 2 compatible and make any necessary adjustments.
   
   
3. Deploy on Optimism: After selecting the Optimism Chain, deploy your project to take full advantage of its scalability and cost-efficiency.

Looking Ahead

We are continually working to improve PAW Chain with innovative features and integrations to make it the best possible platform for developers and users. Keep an eye on our upcoming blogs, where we’ll share more technical details and use cases related to the Optimism integration.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
