OP Stack protocol
Overview
The OP Stack is an open-source, modular framework for building and deploying Optimistic Rollups on Ethereum. It serves as the foundation for the Optimism network and other OP Stack-based chains, enabling scalable, low-cost transactions while inheriting Ethereum's security. The framework standardizes rollup infrastructure components.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, OP Stack connects to 43 tracked entities; it was launched by OP Labs and powers Base, Optimism, and other OP Stack chains.

Frequently asked questions
What is OP Stack?
The OP Stack is a collection of open-source software components that collectively form the architecture for Optimistic Rollups on Ethereum. It is developed by the Optimism team and used to launch and maintain scalable Layer 2 networks.
How does OP Stack differ from other rollup frameworks?
OP Stack is specifically designed for Optimistic Rollups, employing fraud proofs to ensure security, and offers a modular architecture that allows operators to customize components like sequencers, data availability, and governance.
What chains are built with OP Stack?
Several Layer 2 networks, including OP Mainnet (Optimism), Base, and Zora, use the OP Stack to power their rollup infrastructure, benefiting from shared standards and interoperability.
What is OP Stack connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, OP Stack is linked to 43 other tracked entities; it was launched by OP Labs and powers Base, Optimism, and other OP Stack chains.
