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

Reserve Rights (RSR) is the central governance token of the Reserve ecosystem. Reserve is a platform for creating DTFs (Decentralized Token Folios), which are the decentralized, self-custody, onchain version of ETFs. DTFs created on Reserve are called RTokens, and there are two types: Yield RTokens and Index RTokens. When staked on any Yield RToken or locked on any Index RToken, RSR holders gain governance rights to propose and vote on basket and configuration changes. For Yield RTokens, staked RSR serves as overcollateralization, providing first-loss capital in the unlikely case of a collateral default in exchange for a portion of revenue. RSR tokens can also be held unstaked if preferred.
