Blockchains including Celo have recently chosen Optimism’s OP Tech Stack to deploy Layer 2s on Ethereum.
"Prominent venture capital firm a16z has snapped up about $90 million of Optimism’s native OP token, according to two sources familiar with the matter, marking the latest institutional bet on the Ethereum Layer 2.
The investment, said to be executed under a two-year vesting period, follows a flurry of activity in the Optimism ecosystem, including growth in usage of Optimism’s OP Stack. Token vesting periods entered into by sizable investors typically come with discounted purchases to the token’s trading price. "

"These fixes improve the development experience for Bedrock by fixing inconsistencies in our API for receipts in certain system transactions.
Though the bug is developer-facing and would not have affected user funds, it does require a fork to fix."

Optimism and Arbitrum both are a very great project and the great thing is that you easily send the eth through those chain without any fee so many people use this suddenly Optimism and Arbitrum Airdrop are live they show that it will be successful project.

Polygon Raises $450,000,000 From Sequoia Capital India, SoftBank, Galaxy, Tiger, Republic Capital

I have no idea how this is not talked about more in the traditional media. 450 Million is a lot of money. And they basically sold their tokens to get that money. It shows a lot of confidence put by these traditional VCs into Polygon.
The whole space is going through a bear market but such major investments show that the underlying current hasn't changed. Just another major positive story can change a lot of things.

yeah, this with reducing fees with upgraded technology should propel Optimism on TVL list
earlier it was a bit expensive to use Optimism, as fees could reach $20 for swapping, but with $2-3 fees after upgrade, it should have more users, and more protocols will be willing to deploy now, when whitelisting is over
as Vitalik said, multi-chain is bigger than cross-chain, will be interesting development in 2022
On January 9, the Arbitrum team reported a failure of the main network of the Arbitrum L2 solution. Everything happened as it turns out due to an error in the Sequencer smart contract, as a result of which the protocol stopped releasing new blocks, the developers guaranteed the safety of user funds, it is worth noting that this is the second network failure in the last half a year

I have use both Optimism and Arbiterium an even provided liquidity in one in anticipation of retroactive airdrop. I am waiting for Zykyns to deploy on their mainet, their gas fees will appear to be better than both Optimism and Arbiterium. This is why the ETH network will still remain in number 2 spot.
https://l2fees.info/The lowest fees are now in the polygon ecosystem, because matic tokens are cheap.
But Optimism, Arbitrum and Polygon are the biggest ecosystems because there are so many interesting projects there.
But I spent a lot of coins on commissions on various bridges.
