Optimism at CryptoRefills
Amsterdam
Amsterdam, February 28th, 2023 - CryptoRefills, a global leader in gift card retail and mobile top-ups that pioneers blockchain payments, announced today the launch of a new payment option for its users. CryptoRefills customers can now pay with ETH and some of the top stablecoins such as USDC, USDT, DAI, and Frax over the Optimism layer 2 network.
Optimism is a layer 2 chain built on top of Ethereum that utilizes optimistic rollups to drastically reduce costs and transaction times. The reduction in fees is especially significant for small value purchases and when transacting in stablecoins, which have higher fees compared to ETH. Optimism’s rollup technology also speeds up transaction finality, providing a faster and smoother payment experience for users.
The launch of Optimism is another key layer 2 project implemented by CryptoRefills to offer its customers the newest and most interesting blockchain payment options. With a variety of L2 options and supported stablecoins, CryptoRefills has established itself as a primary gateway between global brands and the wider Web3 community.
