🔭 Optimism — October Performance Breakdown October was a month of expansion through efficiency for @Optimism: ▫️ the network saw higher throughput ▫️ lower gas usage ▫️ and a more concentrated user base 🧵 a sign of maturing network dynamics. 👇

1/ Network Throughput ▫️ 58.8M total transactions (+57% vs Sept) ▫️ 1.9M avg. daily transactions (+52%) ▫️ 21.9 TPS avg. (+52%) Optimism processed nearly 60 million transactions in a single month, marking one of its strongest performance periods to date.

2/ User Activity ▫️ 758K avg. daily active addresses (−51%) Despite fewer daily participants, the network handled more than twice the transactions, suggesting a consolidation of activity — power users and dApps executing more onchain logic per account. A smaller crowd, but a far more active one.

3/ Gas Efficiency ▫️ Total gas used: 20.46T (−6.3% vs Sept) ▫️ Avg gas used per block: −9.3% ▫️ Avg gas price: ~1.19×10⁻¹¹ ETH (stable, +0.5%) Even with 57% more transactions, Optimism consumed less total gas: the drop in gas usage per block and per transaction suggests lighter, optimized contracts and a growing share of low-cost rollup operations.
