OP Mainnet: The Enterprise Launch Pad
•
At Optimism, our success is measured by our partners' success. Whether they’re just beginning to explore onchain infrastructure or ready to launch their own network, we're here to help them move onchain and scale.
There is growing evidence and countless examples that suggest that any enterprise with sufficient distribution will benefit from launching their own chain; our mission is to ensure that the OP Stack is the fastest, most configurable, and most scalable way to do so. Coinbase, Kraken, Sony, Uniswap, and World have all joined the growing Superchain ecosystem, validating the OP Stack’s enterprise credibility.
As enterprises discover how easily they can scale, differentiate, and capture economic benefits with a dedicated chain, the decision to accelerate with Optimism becomes more clear. For many companies, their onchain journey begins with a first product or use case that initiates a larger transformation.
The Journey Starts on OP Mainnet
OP Mainnet serves as the infrastructure backbone for the Superchain, featuring credibly neutral, high-performance blockspace for enterprises and developers. Its true differentiator is that when enterprises are ready, there’s no obligation to stay on OP Mainnet – we'll help them migrate to their own chain so they can capture a large share of the value their activity creates. This unfolds as follows:
Integrate with 'Earn' products on OP Mainnet to validate product-market fit, leaning on existing liquidity and battle-tested infrastructure.
Build customer traction, iterate on products quickly, and prove economics.
When ready, graduate to a dedicated OP Stack chain for full customization and control.
OP Mainnet serves as a flagship model for the OP Stack, stewarding many of the most cutting edge features, running on durable infrastructure, and maintaining extremely low transaction costs. It combines efficiency with performance:
20Mgas per second max throughput, with active efforts underway to continue scaling to 100MGas/sec and beyond
$0.00001 median transaction fee — enabling cost-effective operations at scale
$3.2B in Total Value Secured, including $700M in stablecoins
250ms transactions via Flashblocks — performance that matches familiar web2 applications
100% uptime year to date — Reliable infrastructure
Flashblocks delivers web2-like responsiveness to onchain applications by streaming transactions every 250 milliseconds (configurable down to 200ms). Users receive near-instant feedback without sacrificing security or decentralization, eliminating the UX friction that has historically limited blockchain adoption. For fintechs building customer-facing products, this means offering user experiences that rival traditional applications while maintaining the transparency and security of onchain infrastructure.
To ensure companies can confidently and securely launch hyper-scalable products on OP Mainnet, we're focusing on strengthening core DeFi primitives including lending markets, vaults, and overall liquidity. The integrations we’re announcing today represent the first step in establishing OP Mainnet as a leader in comprehensive enterprise-focused yield infrastructure to power 'Earn' products and more.
Morpho, Gauntlet, and Utila: The Enterprise Yield Stack on OP Mainnet
Morpho’s decentralized lending infrastructure is now fully supported on OP Mainnet, with Gauntlet’s USDC Prime Vault as the first institutional-grade yield product. This vault optimizes for risk-adjusted yield across large market cap, high liquidity collateral markets.
"OP Mainnet has proven itself as a production-ready environment for high-performance, onchain finance. Its stability, scalability, and low transaction costs make it the ideal foundation for deploying lending and yield infrastructure that meets enterprise standards."
Kirk Hutchison, Governance and Multichain Expansion Lead, Morpho
Utila, an enterprise-grade digital asset operations platform, integrated the USDC Prime Vault, opening up access to over 100 institutional clients globally. Processing $10B+ monthly and having secured $60B+ in cumulative transactions, Utila's MPC wallet infrastructure bridges the gap enabling direct institutional capital flows into DeFi protocols while maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
This integration represents a complete enterprise yield stack in action with each component working seamlessly together to make DeFi: accessible, secure, and operationally efficient. There are many possible variations to the stack across protocols, risk managers, and access interfaces:
Settlement Layer: OP Mainnet — neutral, performant network with Ethereum security
Protocol Layer: Morpho — programmable, risk-isolated lending markets and vault infrastructure
Risk Layer: Gauntlet USDC Prime Vault — professional risk management and dynamic optimization
Access Layer: Utila — MPC custody infrastructure bridging institutional requirements with onchain execution.
Optimism is investing in OP Mainnet to accelerate the growth of a robust DeFi ecosystem with the integrations, security, and performance enterprises require.
