Introducing OP Enterprise
TL;DR: OP Enterprise is production-grade, managed blockchain infrastructure from the team that built the OP Stack. We handle operations, security, and scaling so enterprises can focus on shipping products, not running blockchains.
Three tiers, ready in 8-12 weeks:
Fully Managed (we take care of the chain so you don't have to)
Self Managed (you operate it, we support it)
OP Mainnet (start on a proven public network, graduate to your own chain when ready)
Your blockchain.
Your revenue.
Enterprise guarantees.
Focus on Your Business, Not Your Blockchain
Today we're announcing OP Enterprise—a suite of products for enterprises that need blockchain infrastructure with world-class support from the team that built the OP Stack.
Your blockchain. Your revenue. Enterprise guarantees.
OP Enterprise seeks to refocus partners and institutions on what's most important for their businesses: delivering differentiated products and business outcomes.
Our code is MIT licensed and open source. If you ever want to shift to a self-managed model, you can. Most teams discover they'd rather work with us—but the choice is always yours. This isn't vendor lock-in. This is a partnership.
Who This Is For
OP Enterprise is for companies that want to build transformative businesses not become blockchain experts. Whether you're a fintech building next-generation financial services, a centralized exchange launching tokenized products, a payments company building cross-border rails, or a financial institution exploring tokenization and digital assets—if you need infrastructure that performs without the operational burden, OP Enterprise is for you.
Why OP Enterprise
Enterprises today are building on infrastructure where the incentives don't align with their own—and learning the hard way that their best interests aren't the priority. They're competing for mindshare, fighting to keep users, chasing the next hot thing, and working against the platform's own incentive structures.
Most blockchains extract a percentage of every transaction. Your revenue becomes their revenue. You're building on rented rails where the economics work against you.
OP Enterprise is different. When you own your chain, your infrastructure becomes a revenue-generating asset—not a cost center. DeFi protocols deploy on your infrastructure. Liquidity pools operate on your rails. The economic activity you enable accrues to you—not to a platform extracting a cut of everything that moves.
This isn't about saving on fees. It's about owning the infrastructure layer where financial value is created.
But revenue control is only half the story.
The real bottleneck in blockchain launches isn't the infrastructure—it's onboarding the ecosystem partners you need to go live. Each negotiation can take months and costs hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars—and this is before the technical onboarding work even starts. These vendors pick off blockchain teams one by one with custom pricing and lengthy contracting processes.
We solve this with vendor and partner management at scale. We've onboarded the tier-one partners—they're already integrated, contracted, and ready to deploy on your chain. We negotiate standard terms, manage costs down, and fast-track partnerships that would otherwise delay your launch by 6-12 months.
This matters because your customers want better financial services—faster settlements, lower costs, programmable assets, 24/7 availability. Blockchain enables all of this, but only if you own the rails. When you own your infrastructure, you can offer your customers DeFi solutions, tokenization services, and programmable finance without a middleman taking a cut.
We handle the operations and vendor coordination. You focus on maximizing revenue and delivering value to your customers.
Why Now
The window for enterprise blockchain strategy has shifted from "if" to "how fast."
Regulatory clarity has arrived. MiCA is live in Europe. US policy is stabilizing. The enterprises that spent 2023-2024 in exploratory mode are now greenlighting production builds—and the ones that move first will lock in ecosystem advantages that compound over time.
Meanwhile, the infrastructure landscape is consolidating. Some providers have struggled to scale. Others have pivoted away from enterprise. The question buyers are asking isn't just "which technology"—it's "which partner will still be here in five years."
Every major platform is now offering enterprise services to meet the needs of enterprise customers.
What differentiates Optimism:
Enterprise track record: We've successfully designed and launched 50+ chains for enterprise customers—not pilots, but production systems serving millions of users. No other stack has this combination of foundational protocol experience and proven enterprise delivery.
Innovation velocity: We get new features and optimizations to production chains faster than anyone else because we control the entire stack. When we discover vulnerabilities, our customers get patches within hours, not weeks.
Proven infrastructure: The OP Stack powers 50+ chains with $6.1 billion in TVL. This isn't theoretical—it's battle-tested at scale.
Direct access to the source: When you work with us, you're working directly with the team that built and maintains the OP Stack. Questions go to the engineers who wrote the code. Feature requests go to the people who can actually implement them. There's no translation layer.
Ethereum foundation credibility: Our team didn't just build the OP Stack—we helped build Ethereum itself. We've worked on Ethereum's core protocol, defined its scaling roadmap, and invented the Layer 2 architecture that powers the entire industry.

How It Works
Launching an OP Enterprise chain follows a pragmatic, enterprise-grade process:
Discovery — Align on your use case, throughput and latency requirements, and compliance constraints.
Design — Define architecture together: data availability strategy, settlement approach, access model, observability integrations.
Pilot — Deploy a production-like environment. Run performance and integration testing.
Production Rollout — Transition to live operations with defined SLOs, clear support paths, and operational handoffs.
Ongoing Operations — Continuous monitoring, upgrades, and capacity management — coordinated with your timelines, not ours.
We work with your engineering, security, and legal teams throughout to ensure smooth operational handoffs and the right compliance posture. Most customers go from first conversation to production in 8-12 weeks.
OP Enterprise replaces the headcount, tooling, and coordination burden you'd otherwise need internally:
24/7 infrastructure monitoring and incident response — Eliminating the need for your own 24/7 ops team
Capacity planning, scaling, and performance tuning — So your engineers focus on product, not infrastructure
Lifecycle management — Optimism orchestrates upgrades and manages one-time events
Dedicated support across technical and non-technical areas — One team instead of juggling dozens of vendors
Onboarding and rollout assistance — Faster time to market, fewer delays
Vendor & Partner Support
We manage the ecosystem so you don't have to:
Pre-vetted infrastructure partners — Wallets, indexers, oracles, bridges, and explorers already integrated and negotiated
Pre-negotiated vendor discounts — Leverage our scale for better rates on essential services
Integration coordination — We handle onboarding, you get the benefits
Compliance partners — sanctions screening and audit-ready tooling through trusted providers
DeFi and liquidity partnerships — Access to ecosystem applications and liquidity infrastructure without individual negotiations
You maintain policy controls. We handle operations. Your team ships products instead of becoming infrastructure operators.
Why the OP Stack Wins
Proven Infrastructure
It's the most battle-tested blockchain infrastructure in production. The OP Stack powers 50+ chains, with $6.1 billion in total value locked.
Built by the team that invented Ethereum scaling. Our engineers didn't just build the OP Stack—they invented the foundational concepts that power the entire Layer 2 industry. Optimistic rollups, sequencer architecture, fraud proof systems—these are innovations that came from our team. We built the infrastructure standards that everyone else is now adopting.
Proven at scale. Our customers routinely process more transactions than most other L2s, serving millions of users globally. These aren't pilots—they're production systems handling real money and real users.
Enterprise Capabilities
Enterprise-grade performance. Throughput scaling from 10 Mgas/sec baseline to 100+ Mgas/sec for high-volume applications. Sub-200ms block times with burst capacity support. Auto-scaling infrastructure that adjusts to your growth. Multi-provider RPC redundancy with up to 20k requests-per-second burst capacity.
Security and compliance. Permissionless fault proofs with Stage 1 security status. Optional ZK fault proofs for faster finality. Built-in support for custom compliance requirements.
Customization without complexity. Custom gas token support (ETH or any ERC-20). Modular data availability (Ethereum-native or alternative DA layers). Programmable block building and transaction ordering. Pre-deployed smart contract tooling.
Ecosystem & Partners
Partner Network. The OP Stack has one of the largest networks of vendors, infrastructure, and ecosystem partners of any blockchain stack in crypto. Our established relationships become your advantage — faster onboarding, better pricing, and partners who already know how to deliver on OP Stack chains.
Ecosystem integration. Pre-negotiated vendor discounts across RPC providers, indexers, oracles, and compliance tools. One-click integrations with wallets, bridges, and developer services. Most infrastructure teams are already familiar with the OP Stack.
Built to Last
Future-proof. Native interoperability (scheduled for 2026), continued protocol upgrades, and automatic feature rollouts as the stack evolves.
Engineering quality. Built by the engineers who invented optimistic rollups and defined Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling architecture. Our founders and team aren't just implementing blockchain — they created the standards the industry is built on.
No vendor lock-in. The code is MIT licensed. Fork if you want. Most teams discover they'd rather work with us because maintaining blockchain infrastructure is hard and we're really good at it. But the choice is always yours. This is infrastructure you truly own.
Working with the Source — Proof Points
OP Enterprise offers a direct path to the team that built and maintains the OP Stack.
When you work with us, you get features first. We see production issues before they're public. When we discover vulnerabilities, our customers receive patches within hours. Updates, optimizations, and new capabilities ship to OP Enterprise customers as they're developed.
There's no translation layer. Questions go directly to the engineers who wrote the code. Architecture decisions involve the people who designed the system. When something needs to be customized, you're working with the team that can actually change it.
Launch Partners
We're launching OP Enterprise with two customers: Unichain and Celo.
Unichain — When Uniswap — the largest decentralized exchange — needed its own chain, they chose the OP Stack. Unichain is built for high-performance DeFi with native interoperability across OP Stack chains. Uniswap Labs operates Unichain with OP Enterprise Mission-Critical Support — priority response for high-stakes moments where downtime isn't an option.
Celo — Celo migrated to the OP Stack to leverage proven infrastructure for mobile-first payments around the world. Serving millions of users, Celo operates their network with OP Enterprise Mission-Critical Support, ensuring enterprise-grade backing for consumer-facing applications in emerging markets from Latin America to Africa.
