Layer-2 (“L2”) adoption keeps rising and activity has hit an all-time high. A number of new L2 rollups are building their software using the OP Stack.
The OP Stack is an open-source software development stack that powers OP Mainnet and can be used to create new L2s. It consists of a number of different modules that can be customized to create tailored L2s.
Optimism envisions a future with a decentralized network of L2s that share security, a communication layer, and are all built using the OP Stack. They refer to this as the Superchain.
Base is one of the most popular OP Stack L2s that have recently been released. A glance at the metrics show us that Base’s cumulative unique addresses and transactions are significantly higher than other OP Stack chains (excluding OP Mainnet).
Zora Network (an NFT-focused L2) and the Gitcoin-backed Public Goods Network (a public goods-focused general-purpose L2) are also both live on mainnet.
Mode (general-purpose), DeBank Chain (SocialFi), and Ancient8 Chain (gaming) are OP Stack chains that are currently deployed in testnet.
Conduit’s rollup-as-a-service (“RaaS”) platform has been an integral part of this growing narrative, having partnered with Zora, Public Goods Network, Mode, and Ancient8, among others. AltLayer’s recent support for the OP Stack is also likely to further contribute in the coming months.
