L2 as a Communication Layer

Optimex introduces a dedicated Layer 2 (L2) to coordinate interactions between key participants, ensuring transparency and security across the system. The L2 records DeFi activities, manages Settlement Nodes’ security deposits, and enforces slashing penalties for protocol violations.

In most cases, users do not need to interact with the L2 directly. Instead, it serves as a backend coordination layer for Settlement Committee Nodes, Market Makers, and other stakeholders, ensuring a shared system view and enforcing economic security against bad actors.
