 <p class="is-style-lead">Ethereum-based layer-2 Optimistic Rollup network Optimism (OP) has recorded a 1,687% surge in weekly trading volumes.</p>
 <p>The latest data from defi analytics platform DeFiLlama indicates a dramatic upswing in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="trading" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trading.html">trading</a> activity on Optimism, a layer 2 scaling solution anchored on Ethereum (ETH), propelling the network to a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="trading" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trading.html">trading</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="volume" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volume.html">volume</a> of approximately $300 million.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>An update from crypto reporter Colin Wu suggests that the surge in Optimism’s volume is primarily due to the recent security flaw on KyberSwap, which led to a loss of $46.5 million. The breach resulted in the loss of 10,049 wETH, 4,017 wstETH, and 3.98 million Arbitrum (ARB) tokens.</p>

 <p>However, other top-tier chains such as Solana (SOL), Arbitrum, Polygon (MATIC), and Avalanche (AVAX) have also seen significant decreases in weekly trading volumes.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>On Solana, weekly trading volumes are down 11.3%, even as its native cryptocurrency SOL, registered a 4.6% price drop in the same period.</p>
 <p>Per DefiLlama, Arbitrum’s weekly trading volume amounted to $247.73 million, a 27.85% decline over the previous seven days. Polygon also fared relatively poorly, with its weekly trading volume numbers dipping by more than 39% to settle at $87.27 million.&nbsp;</p>
