Let's talk #L2 and @optimismPBC for normal users.

First, why would you want to even consider using it? Well it is dirt cheep and regularly getting cheeper as they make upgrades and enhancements.

It is also the 2nd most used L@ already.

Let's look at some protocols on L2 for people to use.

First of cause is the OG @synthetix_io. It is currently the largest TVL based project here, building out many new functions that will allow for more $sUSD liquidity as well as provide a foundation for other protocols.

Next is @kwenta_io It is currently in complete redevelopment. Very exciting times ahead!

- Derivatives Trading
- - Crypto, Indices, Forex, Commodities, Equities etc
- Long & Short Trading
- FUTURES Trading!

All non-custodial & decentralised!
