About Optimism
Optimism is a fast, stable, and scalable L2 blockchain. Built as a minimal extension to existing Ethereum software, Optimism’s EVM-equivalent architecture scales your Ethereum apps without surprises. If it works on Ethereum, it works on Optimism at a fraction of the cost.
About Ethereum
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that establishes a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts. Smart contracts allow participants to transact with each other without a trusted central authority.
Conclusion
Bridging between different blockchain networks can be a complex process, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be done easily. Bungee provides a user-friendly and secure way to bridge assets between Arbitrum and Optimism networks.
Happy bridging!
