What makes optimism unique?
Four core tenets are what Optimism is designed around.


There is simplicity. There is pragmatism. It's sustainable. There is optimism.
The minimum number of moving parts is the aim of Optimism. When possible, this means using proven code and infrastructure.
pragmatism is emphasized and is driven by the real-world needs and constraints of its own team and users.
The design process of Optimism is built around the idea of long-term sustainable. That's why it uses optimistic rollups and uses the consensus mechanism of ether to scale the network. Blocks are constructed and executed on the L2 while user transactions are submitted to the L1 Transactions are immediately accepted or rejected if the L2 has no mempool.
Transactions can be challenged for a certain period of time, currently seven days. A transaction is considered final after that.
