Optimism Network
Use Optimism inside Torque’s unified balance — no network picker.
Optimism
Native ETH · Chain ID 10 · Explorer
Optimism is a layer 2 network supported on Torque. Native gas is ETH. You hold one portfolio balance; Torque routes settlement and spend automatically across supported networks.
Torque is non-custodial: you sign in with email or Google, receive a Torque smart account, and authorize each transaction. Torque routes execution and maintains ledger intents but does not hold your private keys like a centralized exchange.
This page is a coverage reference for SEO and transparency — not a chain selector. In the app you trade product buckets (USD, BTC, equities) and we choose inventory and settlement paths.
