Layer 2 solutions are really picking up steam these days. Optimism's Superchain rollout has been making waves—the scaling performance is legit impressive. But here's the thing: the real test is what's actually being used on the ground.

So what's your go-to? Are you deep into yield farming on some DEX, trying out new bridges, playing around with NFT platforms, or just holding and staking? The ecosystem's gotten pretty diverse, and everyone's got different priorities.

Curious what's resonating most with people right now.

To be honest, impressive performance numbers are useless; what really matters is the actual TVL in real money. No matter how much Optimism boasts, the trading volume is right here.

NGL, Optimism is indeed powerful, but where does the real traffic come from? I'm mainly extracting liquidity from DEXs; everything else is just superficial.

NGL, Optimism's performance is indeed solid, but the ecosystem applications will depend on what comes next.

Honestly, I'm just a pure HODLer. Yield farming seems too complicated and feels risky.

To be honest, Optimism's set of tricks look pretty good, but where are the usable applications? I'm currently just exploiting a few DEXs, and I'm still observing the rest.

To be honest, Optimism's setup performs well, but the gas fees are still a bit painful... I'm mainly doing cross-chain arbitrage, and since the Chinese term doesn't sound good, let's just call it arbitrage. The liquidity on DEX is still somewhat weak, so I'll wait and see if new opportunities arise. Currently taking a nap warning...

Ngl, that Optimism stuff is indeed smooth, but the real way to make money is still by finding opportunities yourself.
