Gift cardsAbout Optimism, for buyers
Optimism (OP) is an Ethereum layer-2 rollup that anchors security to Ethereum while running EVM-compatible smart contracts at a fraction of mainnet fees. OP is the governance token of the Optimism Collective.
When you buy Optimism in Zypto, you receive native OP on the Optimism network, delivered straight to a wallet you control. There's no exchange account holding your coins, and no separate withdrawal step.
Other ways to buy Optimism
You can also buy Optimism on centralized exchanges. The difference with Zypto is non-custodial delivery: your OP lands directly in a wallet only you control, ready to use across the app, rather than sitting on an exchange you'd need to withdraw from. Both approaches work; this one keeps you in control from the start.
