At press time, Optimism’s TVL stood at $934.43 million. With increased adoption and growth in network activity on the L2’s OP Stack and the implementation of its Bedrock upgrade, Optimism’s TVL has grown by 80% on a year-to-date. As of 1 January, the chain’s TVL was $520.74 million.
Network activity on Optimism has grown
Following a momentary decline in Optimism’s daily transactions count between April and the beginning of May, the anticipation of the mainnet integration of the Bedrock Upgrade, which ended on 7 June, drove traffic to the chain.
According to data from Optimism Explorer, the network’s daily transactions climbed by over 300% since 8 May. Likewise, the daily count of new addresses on the L2 blockchain has increased by 247% within the same window period.

Interestingly, despite the uptick in network activity since May, network fees trickled downward in the last month. Data from Token Terminal revealed an 8% drop in fees paid by users to complete transactions on Optimism in the past 30 days.
However, on a broader window period, fees have indeed rallied. On a 90-day window, fees on OP mainnet have increased by 33%. On a 180-day window timeframe, fees have gone up by almost 200%.
As expected, there has been a corresponding rally in protocol revenue. In the last 90 days, Optimism’s revenue went up by 41%, and by 146% in the last 180 days.
