Founded by Princeton researchers, they pioneered optimistic rollups through Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2 network that enables high-throughput, low-cost transactions while inheriting Ethereum's security. Their technology stack includes Arbitrum Nitro for optimized performance, Orbit for customizable chains, and Stylus for multi-language smart contracts, empowering developers to build scalable dApps without compromising decentralization. The company continues to innovate with acquisitions like Prysmatic Labs for Ethereum consensus clients and ZeroDev for smart accounts, alongside ventures through Tandem studio. Offchain Labs maintains strong ties to the Ethereum ecosystem, contributing to shared sequencing, ZK proofs, and horizontal scaling initiatives to support the growth of onchain businesses.
