FIS is an Ethereum token that powers StaFi, a cross-chain protocol for trading staked assets as derivatives (also called “liquid staking”). Users can stake proof of stake assets via StaFi to receive “rTokens” (for example, staking 1 XTZ on StaFi might generate 1 rXTZ), which can be freely traded and redeemed for a corresponding amount of the locked and staked asset. FIS is used for staking and minting rTokens, and for paying transaction fees on the network.

Optimism is a network of chains called the Superchain, built on the open-source OP Stack. OP Mainnet was the first chain, with several others now operating on the OP Stack architecture, including Base (by Coinbase), Unichain (by Uniswap), Ink (by Kraken), and World Chain (by Worldcoin). The OP Stack serves as a framework for Ethereum Layer 2 chains and supports significant L2 activity. Every OP Chain in the Superchain contributes back to the Optimism Collective and all chains follow a standardized revenue-sharing model: the greater of 2.5% of total chain revenue or 15% of onchain profit (defined as fees minus L1 gas costs) is paid back to the Optimism. By aligning economic incentives across many chains, Optimism aims to transform Ethereum scaling into a sustainable flywheel by delivering fast, low-cost transactions while reinvesting in the future of the ecosystem. OP holders participate in governance to shape protocol upgrades, funding decisions, and more
