Optimism developers jvmi and Kelvin Fichter released Magic Mirror on November 9, allowing Non-Fungible Token (NFT) holders to copy or "mirror" their Optimism NFT on the Ethereum mainnet. NFT holders can now use their Optimism NFTs in a variety of verified applications, such as Twitter's profile badge system, where only Ethereum-specific Layer 1 NFTs were previously available.

In January, Twitter introduced the NFT badge feature, which allows NFT owners to verify ownership of their work. Verified NFTs can be used as a Twitter profile image, where they will be displayed in a unique hexagonal shape. Prior to the release of Magic Mirror, NFT owners from other networks such as Optimism, Polygon, or Avalanche were unable to do so.

According to the company, this new tool is an attempt to resolve this issue, but it is only available to Optimism NFT owners. Instead of pressing a new mirror each time, users can disable NFT on each mirror at any time. Only one Optimism NFT, however, can be placed.

Magic Mirror is part of Optimism's renewed push to defeat Ethereum scaling solutions. In June, the Optimism platform released a balance version, and in September, 1-inch Optimism users received a 300,000 coin airdrop to encourage network usage.
