Gelato announces expansion of its all-in-one Raas (Rollup-as-a-Service) platform.
In addition to supporting Polygon CDK, Gelato now also services the OP Stack, the Optimism Collective’s open-source, modular development framework.
As part of this expansion, Gelato enables Lisk, a layer one blockchain launched in 2016, to join the Ethereum ecosystem by migrating to an Ethereum layer two.
Lisk will join OP Mainnet, Base and other OP Chains as the first layer one committing to Optimism’s Superchain vision.
Luis Schliesske, founder of Gelato, said,
“Gelato’s expansion of support to the OP Stack underscores our mission to revolutionize the blockchain arena. By democratizing access to a modular blockspace, we’re empowering a diverse range of creators to deploy their unique, ready-to-launch layer two blockchains. This pivotal move will unlock the full potential of mainstream crypto applications, marking a new era in blockchain adoption.”
Designed to alleviate the congestion problem of the Ethereum mainnet, the OP Stack is the standard, open codebase that powers the Optimism ecosystem and was built to support the Superchain.
By leveraging Gelato’s RaaS platform in addition to deploying, hosting and monitoring of new layer two chains the OP Stack now gains native integrations with Gelato’s industry-leading Web 3.0 middleware services including automation, off-chain data and account abstraction to enable superior UX.
Moreover, the platform provides out-of-the-box, native access to tier-one Web 3.0 services such as Etherscan, The Graph, LayerZero and many more.
Layer two chains deployed with Gelato, like Lisk, get much more than the underlying blockchain. Layer two chains gain access to a fully production-ready Web 3.0 development environment.
This is the first time in Web 3.0 that developers have access to an end-to-end serviced OP Chain with all necessary infrastructure dependencies deployed right from the start.
Ben Jones, chief scientist of the Optimism Foundation, said,
“We are excited that Gelato has extended support to the Superchain as a RaaS provider for Lisk, making it easier for developers to onboard new users into the Superchain ecosystem.
“Gelato has already executed a million transactions on OP Mainnet for projects like Synthetix, Lyra and Velodrome, and we’re looking forward to Gelato bringing their developer expertise to help bring the Superchain vision to…
