Optimism Co-Founders: What Happened to the L2s?
Jason YanowitzBen JonesKarl Floersch
Optimism’s L2 reset is “hype meets reality,” as chains without fundamentals struggled when real users and businesses evaluated their products.The company has become an enterprise SaaS business, with majority of revenue from enterprise sales, seven-figure annual “chain-in-a-box” deals, and predictable usage-based pricing chosen for institutional legibility.Exchanges are the proven beachhead, while TradFi interest offers a slower-growth pipeline; paid incentives are “on the way out,” making customer conversion and milestone-based economics key variables to monitor.
