Introducing OP Enterprise: The Complete OP Stack Infrastructure Suite for Enterprises

TL;DR: OP Enterprise is production-grade, managed blockchain infrastructure from the team that built the OP Stack. We handle operations, security, scaling, and partner coordination so enterprises can focus on shipping products, not running blockchains.

Three tiers, live in 6-8 weeks (or days on OP Mainnet):

• 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)

What Is OP Enterprise?

OP Enterprise is a suite of infrastructure and support products for enterprises launching and operating OP Stack-based chains. Enterprises can deploy on OP Mainnet, operate their own OP Stack infrastructure with direct engineering support, or have OP Labs host and operate a dedicated chain end-to-end.

Fully Managed and Self Managed can be upgraded with the Mission Critical add-on. Depending on the tier, OP Enterprise includes architecture guidance, security and performance assessments, monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, upgrades, vendor coordination, and access to the engineers who built the OP Stack.

Focus on Your Business, Not Your Blockchain

Today we’re announcing OP Enterprise: a suite of products for enterprises that need blockchain infrastructure with direct support from the team behind the OP Stack.

Your blockchain. Your revenue. Enterprise guarantees.

OP Enterprise exists to let partners and institutions focus on what matters most: their products and their customers.

Our code is MIT licensed and open source. If you ever want to shift to a self-managed model, you can.

Who OP Enterprise Is For

OP Enterprise is for companies that would rather run their business than 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 Enterprises Use 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. No platform takes a cut of everything that moves.

Fee savings are a side benefit. The prize is owning the infrastructure layer where financial value is created.

Revenue control is only half of it. The slowest part of a blockchain launch is 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 compress partner integrations that typically take months of individual negotiation into weeks.

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 Enterprises Are Launching Now

Enterprise blockchain strategy has stopped being an “if” question.

Regulatory frameworks are moving into implementation. The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation is in application, while the January 2025 US executive order on Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology established a federal policy framework for digital assets. 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 market is consolidating. Some providers have struggled to scale. Others have pivoted away from enterprise. Buyers have added a second question beyond “which technology”: which partner will still be here in five years?

Every major platform now sells enterprise services.

What differentiates Optimism:

• Enterprise track record. We’ve designed and launched 50+ chains for enterprise customers, 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. At the time of this announcement, the OP Stack powers 50+ chains with $6.1 billion in TVL.
• 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.
• Ethereum foundation credibility. Before the OP Stack, our team helped build Ethereum itself. We’ve worked on Ethereum’s core protocol, defined its scaling roadmap, and helped pioneer the Layer 2 architecture that powers the entire industry.

OP Enterprise Tiers: OP Mainnet, Self Managed, and Fully Managed

OP Enterprise is a suite of three products + support, each designed for different stages and needs:

OP Enterprise: OP Mainnet

Deploy on OP Mainnet, the OP Stack’s flagship public network, with enterprise support. Deploy here, validate your model with real users and liquidity, then graduate to your own chain when ready. You keep the same codebase and tooling when you migrate.

What you get:

• Free to deploy, live in days
• Access to established liquidity and user base from day one
• Enterprise-grade support on a proven public network
• Defined migration path to your own chain when ready
• Same codebase and tooling across all OP Stack chains
• Priority access to new features and upgrades

Proof in production: ether.fi migrated $220M in live consumer payments to OP Mainnet and kept serving users the whole time.

OP Enterprise: Self Managed

You run your own chain on your own infrastructure with OP Labs expertise behind you. You control the sequencer and all node infrastructure. We provide architecture guidance, security assessments, performance optimization, and priority access to upgrades and patches.

What you get:

• Quarterly business reviews
• OP engineer presence in your war room for critical incidents and major launch events

How OP Enterprise Supports Chain Launch and Operations

Launching an OP Enterprise chain follows a pragmatic process:

1. Discovery: Align on your use case, throughput and latency requirements, and compliance constraints.
2. Design: Define the architecture together, covering data availability strategy, settlement approach, access model, and observability integrations.
3. Pilot: Deploy a production-like environment. Run performance and integration testing.
4. Production Rollout: Transition to live operations with defined SLOs, clear support paths, and operational handoffs.
5. Ongoing Operations: Continuous monitoring, upgrades, and capacity management on your timelines.

We work with your engineering, security, and legal teams throughout to ensure smooth operational handoffs and the right compliance posture.

Operational Support

OP Enterprise replaces the headcount, tooling, and coordination burden you’d otherwise need internally:

• 24/7 infrastructure monitoring and incident response, so you don’t need your own around-the-clock ops team
• Capacity planning, scaling, and performance tuning that keep your engineers on product
• Lifecycle management, with OP Labs orchestrating upgrades and managing one-time events
• One support team across technical and non-technical areas instead of juggling dozens of vendors
• Onboarding and rollout assistance for faster time to market

Vendor and Partner Support

We manage the ecosystem so you don’t have to:

• Pre-vetted infrastructure partners: wallets, stablecoin issuers, indexers, oracles, bridges, and explorers already integrated and negotiated
• Pre-negotiated discounts that use our scale for better rates on essential services
• Integration coordination, where we handle the onboarding and you get the benefits
• Compliance partners for sanctions screening and audit-ready tooling
• DeFi and liquidity partnerships without individual negotiations

You maintain policy controls. We handle operations. Your team ships products instead of becoming infrastructure operators.

OP Stack Features for Enterprise Chains

Proven Infrastructure

• It’s the most battle-tested blockchain infrastructure in production. At the time of this announcement, the OP Stack powers 50+ chains, with $6.1 billion in total value locked.
• Built by the people who shaped Ethereum scaling. Our engineers did early, foundational work on the concepts that power the Layer 2 industry: optimistic rollups, sequencer architecture, fraud proof systems. Then they carried those ideas from research into production. We built the infrastructure standards that everyone else is now adopting.
• Proven at scale. Our customers routinely process more transactions than most other L2s and serve millions of users globally. They’re production systems handling real money for real users.

Enterprise Performance

• Enterprise-grade performance. Throughput scaling from 10 Mgas/sec baseline to 100+ Mgas/sec for high-volume applications. 200-250ms transaction preconfirmations via Flashblocks on a 2-second block time, 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

• 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. OP Mainnet’s current rollup-stage assessment can be reviewed through L2BEAT.

Chain Customization

• 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 and Infrastructure 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.

Ownership and Long-Term Operations

• Future-proof. Interoperability is the current development focus: when the upgrade ships, any two OP Stack chains will exchange assets and messages natively, without a bridge, starting with OP Mainnet and Unichain. Continued protocol upgrades and automatic feature rollouts follow as the stack evolves.
• Engineering quality. Built by the engineers who helped pioneer optimistic rollups and defined Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling architecture. Our founders helped create 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 own.

Working with the Source: Proof Points

OP Enterprise is a direct line to the people who build and maintain 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.

OP Enterprise 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, and together with OP Mainnet it is the initial target for native OP Stack interoperability when the upgrade ships. Uniswap Labs operates Unichain with the OP Enterprise Mission Critical add-on: priority response for high-stakes moments where minutes matter.
• Celo: Celo migrated to the OP Stack to build on proven infrastructure for mobile-first payments around the world. Celo serves millions of users and operates its network with the OP Enterprise Mission Critical add-on: enterprise-grade backing for consumer-facing applications across Latin America, Africa, and other emerging markets.
