what's conduit?
Conduit is a blockchain infrastructure platform designed to enable developers to deploy, customize, and scale application-specific chains, such as rollups, appchains, and gaming ecosystems, directly on Ethereum. It supports popular tech stacks like the OP Stack and Arbitrum Orbit, allowing for seamless integration with settlement layers like Base, Optimism, or Arbitrum One. Key features include no-code deployment, custom gas tokens, and modular data availability options via partnerships with Celestia, enabling high-throughput L3s and L5s for DeFi, DEXs, and onchain games. The platform emphasizes production-grade reliability, with tools for upgrades, fast finality using ZK proofs, and dedicated sequencers for enhanced performance. Conduit's G2 sequencer offers 10x higher throughput while maintaining compatibility with existing rollup ecosystems. It powers major Ethereum rollups by handling launches, migrations, and optimizations, reducing deployment complexity and enabling chains to settle efficiently without long withdrawal delays.
Conduit opened new go-to-market roles on Jan 8, 2026.
