The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance today announced that it has integrated the layer-2 scaling solution Optimism.
However, the exchange only supports deposits at this time; withdrawals aren't available until the exchange achieves optimal liquidity, explained the exchange.
"Binance will open withdrawals for ETH on Optimism Network once there are sufficient assets in our wallet," read the announcement.
Optimism is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum aimed at helping reduce costs and improve transaction speeds, an Achilles heel for many blockchain networks.
Insofar as Ethereum has become the primary hub for various DeFi and NFT activities, costs on the network have routinely skyrocketed amid market volatility, a popular NFT drop, or due to the emergence of a new yield farm.
Scaling solutions like Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism emerged to solve precisely these issues.
The costs associated with a blockchain transaction are basically the cost of processing and storing information. These solutions essentially move activity away from the costly mainnet. Once a series of transactions or crypto operations are concluded, the results of these activities (who owns which coins and how much, for example) are then sent and secured on the mainnet.
These ease congestion by reducing the amount of information a base layer blockchain needs to validate and secure.
The gas cost of Optimism, for example, is currently 98 times lower than that of Ethereum, according to data from Dune Analytics.
Optimism is gaining popularity lately, with a total value locked (TVL) standing at $304.1 million and nearly 40 different DeFi projects using the technology, according to data from Defi Llama.
Besides Binance, other cryptocurrency exchanges have also taken steps toward integrating layer-2 networks.
FTX, the fast-growing exchange led by Sam Bankman-Fried, has integrated Arbitrum, another Ethereum scaling solution. KuCoin also added support for Optimism in April 2022.
When Netflix quietly announced plans to remove “Bandersnatch”—the groundbreaking interactive episode from Black Mirror—futurist and journalist Katie Schultz launched a campaign to preserve what she calls a pivotal moment in streaming history. Outraged at what she saw as the quiet erasure of a significant chapter in streaming innovation, Schultz launched a Change.org petition to preserve Bandersnatch—and within days, it gathered more than 6,500 signatures from show supporters. “This isn't just ab...
Brazil might pull the plug on popular chat app Discord after a failed terrorist attack at Lady Gaga's mega-concert revealed the platform was used to plan violence against LGBTQ+ attendees. Brazilian Deputy Guilherme Boulos formally requested Discord's suspension last week, just days after police foiled a plot to attack Lady Gaga's May 3 show at Copacabana Beach—a massive event that drew over 2.1 million people. Authorities conducted their "Fake Monster" operation across four states, executing 15...
People are being tricked into downloading fake AI tools as a way to spread the information stealer malware Noodlophile. This malware is able to harvest browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallet information and more sensitive data, according to a security researcher. Morphisec researcher Shmuel Uzan said, in a report, "Instead of relying on traditional phishing or cracked software sites, they build convincing AI-themed platforms – often advertised via legitimate-looking Facebook groups and viral...
