Framework
OP Stack is Optimism's open-source, modular framework for building Ethereum layer-2 rollup chains, used by Optimism, Base and other networks.
Optimism's OP token rose 25.47% in a week to $0.1511 as Uniswap prepared to move Unichain's production operations to OP Enterprise. The mainnet cutover is set for October 29, and the trading data cannot say how much of the gain it explains.
