Your own L2 or L3, with the sequencer run for you
Deploy optimistic or ZK rollups on Ethereum. Our engineers run the sequencer, batcher, prover, and bridge, and apply framework upgrades, so your team ships the application.
OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK and ZK Stack. Pick the stack that fits your finality, cost, and decentralisation profile; we run the sequencer, the prover, and the bridge whichever you choose.
Optimistic rollup
Optimism's open-source rollup framework. Opt into the Superchain and inherit shared bridging, governance, and ecosystem liquidity from day one.
Optimistic · AnyTrust
Orbit chains settle to Arbitrum One as an L3, or to Ethereum as an L2. AnyTrust mode trades a Data Availability Committee assumption for much lower data costs.
ZK rollup · Validium
Polygon's Chain Development Kit for zkEVM rollups. Atomic cross-chain bridging via the AggLayer puts your chain on a shared liquidity network on day one.
ZK rollup · Validium
Matter Labs' framework with Boojum proofs and EraVM execution. Every account is a smart account: sponsored gas, paymasters, and session keys come standard.
The tradeoffs that decide it: how long until funds are final, what your contracts compile to, and where data lives.
| Framework | Type | Finality | VM | Data availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OP Stack | Optimistic rollup | 7-day challenge window | EVM-equivalent (op-geth) | Ethereum blobs · Celestia · Alt-DA |
| Arbitrum Orbit | Optimistic · AnyTrust | 7-day challenge window | Stylus + EVM (Nitro) | Arbitrum One · AnyTrust DAC |
| Polygon CDK | ZK rollup · Validium | Hours (ZK proof) | zkEVM (Type 2) | Ethereum · DAC |
| ZK Stack | ZK rollup · Validium | Hours (Boojum proof) | EraVM · native AA | Ethereum · Validium |
OP Stack
Arbitrum Orbit
Polygon CDK
ZK Stack
Execution, settlement, data availability, proving and sequencing are separate choices. We model the cost and security tradeoff of each before you sign, and keep operating whichever DA layer, prover, or sequencer you pick.
Execution
The VM that turns transactions into state changes. Pick by tool-chain familiarity, account-abstraction needs, and existing contract portability.

Settlement
The chain your rollup posts state roots and proofs to. It sets your security guarantees and what the bridge trusts.

App-specific
Data availability
The cheaper the DA, the higher the trust assumption. Ethereum blobs carry the fewest assumptions; alt-DA layers trade lower cost for trust in their own validators or a committee.

Optimistic rollups assume validity and let challenges run; ZK rollups prove it cryptographically every batch. Proving infrastructure scales with your throughput.

Sequencing
Centralised sequencers are simple but censorable. Shared sequencing aligns your chain with others; decentralised sequencing is the long-term endgame.

Sequencer, batcher, prover, and RPC nodes deployed together and managed from one dashboard. Your team does not need rollup operations experience.
White-labeled explorer with your branding. Full transaction history and network metrics included.
Our engineers plan the migration with you, run the cutover, and hand off operations when you're ready.
A typical managed rollup launch. Tokenomics, audits, and bridge setup take longest; the infrastructure is the fast part.

Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a managed offering that deploys, operates, and upgrades your Layer-2 or Layer-3 rollup chain. You define the chain parameters. We run the sequencer, batcher, prover (for ZK rollups), block explorer, and bridge under a contractual uptime SLA, with 24/7 monitoring.
Yes. Chain ownership, sequencer keys, and admin contracts stay with you. We operate the infrastructure under contract; you can take operations in-house or move to another RaaS at any time.
Two parts: a managed infrastructure fee, and pass-through settlement costs on the chain you settle to. Settlement is usually the larger and more variable half — it moves with your transaction volume and, above all, with your DA choice. Ethereum blobs are the trust-minimised, higher-cost option; Celestia, EigenDA, Avail, and AnyTrust committees cut that cost substantially in exchange for a weaker data-availability guarantee. We model both halves against your expected throughput before you sign anything.
Yes, on every framework. You can set a custom ERC-20 as the gas token (with appropriate bridging), use the chain native fee token, or run a gasless/paymaster setup where the application sponsors user fees.
Rollup mode posts all transaction data to the settlement layer, giving full data availability and trustless reconstruction, and inherits Arbitrum security end to end. AnyTrust posts data to a Data Availability Committee instead, cutting data costs substantially in exchange for a trust assumption on that committee. The fraud-proof challenge window is identical in both modes — AnyTrust changes where data lives, not how fast you can withdraw. Production gaming and consumer chains usually pick AnyTrust; security-critical chains pick rollup.
Rollup posts call data to Ethereum, giving full data availability at higher cost. Validium posts to a committee instead — cheaper, same fast ZK finality, but with a data-availability trust assumption. For high-volume consumer apps, validium is usually the right call.
We manage prover capacity for you and add instances as your chain grows, so you pay for the throughput you actually use. Proof generation is a separate line item in the cost model, because it scales with transaction volume rather than with the flat infrastructure fee.
Every account on a ZK Stack chain is a smart account by default. You get sponsored transactions, paymasters, session keys, and arbitrary signature schemes without deploying any account-abstraction contracts of your own.
Yes, and which one follows from your framework. OP Stack chains can opt into the Optimism Superchain for shared bridging and governance. Orbit chains settle to Arbitrum One and inherit its tooling. Polygon CDK chains join the AggLayer, which gives unified bridging and shared liquidity with other Polygon-ecosystem chains. ZK Stack chains interoperate through the Elastic Chain layer (previously branded Hyperchains). We handle the technical integration and the paperwork either way.
We apply framework upgrades (OP, Orbit, CDK, ZK Stack releases) on a coordinated schedule with you. Upgrades are tested on your testnet first, then deployed to mainnet during low-traffic windows, and our engineers run the rollout.
24/7 incident response with a contractual SLA, a dedicated Slack channel with our infrastructure engineers, framework upgrade management, and scheduled performance and architecture reviews. Review cadence and any onsite engineering are set in your contract.
Scope throughput, finality, and cost with a rollup engineer. You leave with a written framework recommendation and a cost model that covers DA and L1 settlement.
