The Optimism Spec

This repository holds the work-in-progress specification for the next version of Optimism.

This spec is developped iteratively, specifying a rollup of increasing complexity. The current stage specifies a "rollup" whose only transactions are deposits (L2 transactions submitted on L1).

A more detailed, though potentially out of date specification can be found on the alpha branch.

Work in Progress

Please note that this specification is currently under heavy construction.
