The OP Stack is an open source, modular framework that empowers developers to build customized, high performance Layer 2 rollups on Ethereum. It significantly enhances scalability, reduces gas fees, and accelerates transaction speeds without compromising security. Optimism, the flagship implementation of the OP Stack, has demonstrated robust performance and widespread adoption. At CodesenSys, we provide production ready infrastructure, expert consulting, and end to end support to help you deploy your own optimized, EVM compatible rollup quickly and confidently.
Blockchain Infrastructure
The OP Stack is designed to be modular and composable, enabling developers to tailor key blockchain components for their specific use cases. Its visionary “Superchain” ecosystem connects multiple OP Stack rollups with shared security and liquidity, fostering seamless interoperability. As an open source public good backed by Optimism’s proven track record, it offers a scalable, reliable foundation for nextgen dApps.
The OP Stack empowers builders with modular, composable Layer 2 rollups and a shared “Superchain” vision for seamless interoperability and liquidity. As an open source, battle tested framework backed by Optimism, it ensures scalability, security, and rapid innovation across the Ethereum ecosystem.
Customize execution engines, data availability, and proof systems to create tailored Layer 2 rollups. This flexibility empowers projects like Base and Immutable zkEVM to innovate rapidly.
A network of inter-connected, standardized OP Stack rollups that share security, communication, and governance , creating a powerful ecosystem for interoperability and liquidity sharing.
Built as a public good to encourage collaboration, shared standards, and rapid development across the Ethereum ecosystem.
Optimism leads as a trusted OP Stack chain with high transaction volume and significant total value locked (TVL), providing a secure and performant platform for dApps.
The OP Stack powers real world applications across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and enterprise by delivering low fees, high throughput, and customizable Layer 2 chains. From interactive social apps to secure business solutions, it brings Ethereum grade security with the speed and scalability modern use cases demand.
Optimism is a hub for decentralized finance applications, offering lower transaction costs and faster speeds for trading, lending, and yield farming, making DeFi more accessible to a wider user base.
The reduced gas fees and increased throughput make OP Stack chains ideal for NFT marketplaces and blockchain based games, where frequent, low-value transactions are common.
Businesses can leverage the OP Stack to build custom, high through put blockchains for specific enterprise needs, such as supply-chain management, digital identity, or loyalty programs, inheriting Ethereum's security.
The low transaction costs on OP Stack chains enable more dynamic and interactive social applications where user interactions involve frequent on-chain activity.
The OP Stack’s future is shaped by major protocol upgrades like Bedrock, which enhances efficiency and EVM compatibility while enabling the Superchain vision. With decentralization initiatives and ZK-readiness on the horizon, it’s engineered for long-term scalability, security, and cross chain innovation.
This significant upgrade to Optimism brought numerous improvements, including reduced gas costs, faster deposit finality, and enhanced EVM compatibility, making the OP Stack more efficient and robust. It also laid the groundwork for the Superchain vision.
Ongoing efforts aim to decentralize Optimism's sequencer, which is crucial for censorship resistance and long-term security. The Superchain vision will eventually include shared sequencing across chains.
The OP Stack has been designed to be 'ZKready,' meaning it can integrate zero knowledge proofs in the future, offering a path to even greater security and efficiency for optimistic rollups. This is a significant long-term upgrade that can combine the benefits of both optimistic and ZK rollup technologies.
