Gelato Expands Rollup Platform to Support Optimism
Gelato, an all-in-one Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, has announced its expansion to support the OP Stack, the open-source development framework of Optimism Collective. With this expansion, Gelato enables Lisk, a Layer 1 blockchain, to join the Ethereum ecosystem by migrating to an Ethereum Layer 2. This move aligns with Gelato’s mission to revolutionize the blockchain arena by democratizing access to modular blockspace.
OP Stack and Gelato Integration
The OP Stack is designed to alleviate congestion on the Ethereum mainnet and supports Optimism’s Superchain vision. By leveraging Gelato’s RaaS platform, the OP Stack gains native integrations with Gelato’s Web3 middleware services, offering automation, off-chain data, and Account Abstraction for superior user experience. The platform also provides native access to tier-one web3 services like Etherscan and The Graph.
Lisk Joins Optimism’s Superchain
Lisk, as the first Layer 1 blockchain committing to Optimism’s Superchain vision, will benefit from Gelato’s RaaS platform. Developers can easily deploy their fully serviced OP Chain using Gelato’s platform without writing any code. This partnership allows Lisk to focus on building products and tools for developers and end users while contributing to the Superchain ecosystem.
Hot Take: Gelato and Optimism Enabling Web3 Scalability
Gelato’s expansion of its RaaS platform to support Optimism’s OP Stack is a significant step towards achieving a world with interconnected blockchains and scalable web3 applications. By running customers’ underlying blockchains and offering an end-to-end development environment, Gelato plays a crucial role in creating a production-ready web3 ecosystem. This partnership brings us closer to realizing the full potential of blockchain technology and advancing mainstream crypto adoption.
