As reported by crypto analytics portal Messari, Optimism's user adoption figures are growing at a dramatic pace.

Of this, $360,820 will be distributed to validators as revenue, up 125.6% from the previous similar period.

Trading at around $1, the OP price is around where it started at the beginning of June. Then, as a result of a generous airdrop and the ensuing massive sell-off, combined with the start of a correction on the crypto market, the token's price mercilessly plunged from $3 to $0.5 in one month.

At the moment, the price broke the resistance of 200 SMA and approached the important level around $1.1. Having broken through it and consolidated further, the OP price will look toward $1.43, where an important hurdle also awaits it.
