Optimism

Failover protection

Optimism failover support is available for customers on the Growth or Custom plans. Optimism failover support is available on Mainnet only. Calls to the network are routed to partner infrastructure providers.

Optimism is an EVM-compatible, layer 2, rollup scaling solution that operates on top of Ethereum. All transactions that occur on Optimism are posted and validated on Ethereum mainnet using Optimistic Rollups.
