🔭 Optimism – Six Months of Sustained Expansion
Between April and October, @Optimism showed what sustainable expansion looks like: higher throughput, deeper participation, and a more resilient onchain economy.
Here’s what the data reveals 🧵
@OptimismGov 1/ Transactions
Average daily transactions grew +26.4%, from ~930K → 1.18M/day.
Total throughput reached ≈244M txs, with a new local peak of 2.93M txs on Oct 10, 2025: one of the highest single-day performances ever recorded on Optimism.
2/ Active Addresses
User participation continues to broaden.
Daily active addresses nearly doubled (+98%), from ~580K → 1.15M/day, reaching a peak of 2.79M on Jun 6, 2025 — highlighting sustained adoption across the Superchain.
3/ Gas Consumption
Gas usage almost doubled (+94%), from ~346B → 671B/day, reflecting heavier computational demand across the ecosystem — more DeFi execution, bridge activity, and contract automation.
4/ Gas per Transaction (+57%)
Each transaction now consumes more gas on average (371K → 583K gas/tx).
This shows that the network is processing richer, more complex operations, shifting from simple transfers to smart contract and multi-step interactions.
5/ Optimism is handling more volume and more valuable activity: builders, protocols, and users are doing more within each transaction.
▫️ Broader user participation
▫️ Higher throughput efficiency
▫️ Greater composability of onchain actions
The ecosystem is shifting from scaling transactions to scaling capabilities.
