With the recent launch of Worldcoin’s token, worldcoin (WLD), Optimism has experienced a surge in daily transactions, reaching an all-time high on July 27. Data reveals that 944,000 Optimism transactions were processed on Thursday, with WLD transfers closing in on 1 million.
WLD Token Arrival Spurs Transaction Surge on Optimism: New Milestone Reached
The Ethereum layer two (L2) network, Optimism, is reaping the benefits from Worldcoin’s (WLD) debut as the token integrated with the L2 blockchain before its introduction. As of 11:03 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, archived records show that 285,527 distinct addresses possess WLD, and thus far, WLD has recorded 887,482 transactions. As a result, Optimism’s daily transfers have soared to new levels.
For example, according to Dune Analytics data, Optimism’s daily transactions reached 808,942 transfers on July 26, 2023. Taken together, the L2 networks Optimism and Arbitrum surpassed the number of Ethereum transactions; however, Ethereum processed more than a million and outperformed them individually. Archived statistics for July 27, 2023, demonstrate that 944,668 transfers were completed on Optimism, setting a new all-time daily record for the chain.
Transacting on Optimism is significantly more cost-effective compared to Ethereum. Currently, the average transfer fee on Optimism stands at $0.334 per transaction. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s average cost exceeds $2 per transfer. Initially, WLD was slated to be hosted on Ethereum; however, the Worldcoin team announced Optimism integration shortly before the token’s launch.
Although Optimism has yet to surpass Ethereum’s daily transaction rate, its L2 counterpart Arbitrum did outpace Ethereum last February. Arbitrum’s transaction growth was propelled by soaring Ethereum fees that month. Similar to how WLD tokens boosted Optimism transactions, Arbitrum’s native cryptocurrency launch also helped drive its daily transfers to record-breaking heights.
