What is Optimism Bridge?

Optimism features a bridge that connects the Ethereum mainnet to its Layer 2 network, making it easier for developers to build Ethereum-native decentralized applications (dApps).Optimism is based on four pillars: simplicity, pragmatism, sustainability, and optimism. By leveraging a simple design, Optimism mitigates the time and money needed for engineering, allowing it to direct its energy toward developing new features instead of recreating existing ones. For simplicity, Optimism uses tested Ethereum code and infrastructure where possible.

ETH Deposited Analysis:

From the middle of April to the middle of May there was anywhere from 400-2000 ETH depositors everyday to Optimism via the native bridge. After the May that though the amount depositor's began to slow down with anywhere from 50-200 depositor's on a any given day, with the exception of May 31st and June 1st where there was 3908 and 4662 depositors respectively. If we move onto the next graph we can see that during the first month there were a solid amount of ETH deposited on any given day, like the first graph though it began to slow down before having two massive spikes. These spikes occurred on May 23rd and June 1st and there was 6603 13,370 ETH deposited respectively. Although for the most part there wasn't many unique depositors from late May to the middle of June there was a lot of ETH deposited with a handful of days with over 1000 ETH deposited and some with many more.

ETH Withdrawn Analysis:

If we look at the amount of withdrawers each day we can see that from middle to late April there were a significant amount of users withdrawing there ETH, that saw highs of nearly 50. After that though the amount of daily withdrawers dropped down for awhile to between 1-2 on any given day. Around the middle of May though it began to trend up before peaking on May 25th with 116 unique withdrawers. After that the amount of unique withdrawers stayed anywhere from 10-45 on a daily basis. If we move onto the volume of ETH withdrawn we can see it follows the same trend as the amount of unique withdrawers. On May 31st and June 8th the most amount of ETH was withdrawn with 8535 and 6520 ETH being withdrawn respectively on that day.
