A look into Optimism Analytics

We are thrilled to announce that our complete set of analytics tools for Optimism is now available. With six main categories to explore, including financials, transactions, and ownership, there are plenty of insights to uncover. We’ve taken some exciting insights from IntoTheBlock Market Intelligence. If you want to follow along, you can grab a free 7-day trial on our website.

Optimism Financials

Our In/Out of The Money indicator is a fan favorite, providing valuable information on resistance points and profit percentages. Optimism paints a pretty balanced picture compared to other networks, with 37% of OP holders currently in profit.

Optimism in/out of the money indicator

When we look at Optimism in more detail, we can see that there are a lot of historic buys around the $1 range. Over 77k addresses acquired $OP at an average price of $0.86 and another 76k addresses acquired $OP with an average price of $1.12. The biggest group of buyers who are currently at a loss bought around the $2.40 level, with over 116k addresses purchasing at an average price of $2.41.

So what could that tell us about Optimism? The idea is that these zones indicate stronger trading activity and could signal buy or sell zones. If prices moves closer to 2.41, in the case of $OP, a lot of people might sell to cover losses or buy in because of FOMO. Which of the two is more likely depends on other factors, which we’ll take a look at now.

Network Analytics

One important thing to keep in mind, especially with a layer 1 network, is how a network is used. Is it gaining users? And what about transactions? These indicators can help you judge if an asset is gaining traction and adoption.

Number of addresses on Optimism

If we look at Optimism, we can see that the total number of addresses has been steadily increasing and started increasing more rapidly in late 2022 and early 2023, which coincides with the airdrop period and the hype leading up to it. The number of new addresses spikes occasionally and is pretty stable in general. Currently, there are over 580.000 addresses with a balance.

Number of transactions on Optimism

The number of $OP transactions remains pretty stable as well. We saw a noticeable increase in the first quarter of the year, after which usage decreased somewhat.

Nonetheless, the number of $OP transactions remains stable, with over 12.000 daily transactions on May 2nd, indicating a strong core of active users.

Ownership: What’s the economic distribution of $OP?

Understanding the impact of holders on economic activity is crucial. If assets are predominantly owned by a small group of individuals or if there is a lack of retail users, it may suggest that the network economics are unhealthy. To determine this, we utilize the Optimism Ownership Analytics, which includes the Optimism Holdings Distribution Matrix.

Optimism Holdings Distribution Matrix

According to our analysis, larger holders hold the majority of $OP, while retail users (who own less than 0.1% of the supply) only account for 5.7% of the total supply. However, it’s worth noting that these figures encompass all wallets, including those belonging to the team and network-related wallets utilized for airdrops or grants.

Social Analytics for Optimism

Finally, IntoTheBlock’s Optimism Social Analytics tool helps users visualize activity around the $OP token on social media. The tool shows the volume and level of positive sentiment related to Optimism. Notably, significant price moves coincide with increased volume on social media, and in some cases, social volume picks up before the major price move, indicating that the tool is a useful indicator to keep in mind.
