RaaS (Rollup as a Service) was once hailed as the track with the most development potential in Rollup. But what kind of RaaS can finally win the favor of the market? Is it OP Stack, which has taken the lead and is beginning to take shape, or ZK Stack, which has been developing rapidly in recent times? It remains to be tested by the market.
As one of the builders of the ZK track, Opside has also received some good news recently.
On August 14, the decentralized ZK-RaaS platform Opside officially announced its ZK-Rollup LaunchBaseA major update has been made to support developers to build customized and exclusive zkEVM application chains. The five core ZK-Rollup components of Layer 1, zkEVM, Gas, DA (Data Availability) and Sequencer have also been opened for customization. Not only that, this version of ZK-Rollup LaunchBase also supports adding a variety of Infra as a Service options for project parties to make initial choices.
This move marks Opsides initial achievements in Rollup modularization and customization, which means that it can satisfy more developers and project parties and build customized zkEVM application chains in a more flexible way, thereby expanding together with developers. and empower the entire ZK ecosystem.
Highlight 1: Supports ETH/BSC/Polygon and more L1 options
As the basis for Layer 2 network construction, the choice of Layer 1 is crucial. After all, all user transactions will eventually return to Layer 1. In the early design of Opside, how to meet developers needs for different EVM-compatible basic networks has also become a top priority in development.
At present, Opsides latest LaunchBase has added support for ETH/BSC/Polygon and other test network options. When creating L2, developers can choose ETH Goerli, Polygon Mumbai, BNB Testnet Opside and Opside as the basic network according to the projects own needs. It is expected that after a series of stress tests on the test network, support for main networks such as ETH/BNB Chain/Polygon will be implemented in early September.

Obviously, modularity not only allows developers to choose different Layer 1 more flexibly, but also provides diversification and flexibility for the selection of other components such as zkEVM, Gas Fee Token, etc. Such as zkEVM type, Opside now fully supports Polygon zkEVM, and is implementing further support for zkSync, Scroll, StartNet, and other zkEVMs such as Linea, Taiko and other zkEVMs. In addition, the choice of Gas Fee Token is also more diverse. In addition to the L1 Gas Fee Token, the project party or developer can also choose a custom Token as the Gas Fee Token of ZK-Rollup.
Prior to this, more than 12 industry leading projects have generated exclusive zkEVM application chains through Opside LaunchBase, most of which are Defi, Socialfi and Gamefi applications.
For example, ReadOn, as an excellent content distribution platform in the industry, generated its own ZK-Rollup, bridge and browser within 10 minutes through Opside Rollup Launchbase, and used its own Native Token as the Gas Fee Token of ZK-Rollup.
In addition, there are still more than 20 project parties who are actively communicating and advancing with the Opside team. The Opside team also hopes to see more project parties use ZK-Rollup technology to reduce operating costs and improve user experience while ensuring security.
Highlight 2: Provides a variety of DA and Shared Sequencer components
DA and shared sequencers are also important components of ZK-Rollup customization.
As far as DA is concerned, ZK-Rollup can upload the data status of each transaction processed off-chain to Layer 1. With this data, individual developers/projects can reproduce the status of these Rollups and verify the chain itself. In this version, Opside can provide more DA components for developers to choose from. In the future, Opside ZK-RaaS LaunchBase will provide three DA options: Base Layer (already supported), Opside DA (PoS), and many third-party DAs (such as Celestia, Eigenlayer, etc.). Project parties and developers can also choose based on the project requirements. Need to make different choices.
The shared sorter is essentially a set of sorters that are compatible with Rollups and can provide services for different Rollups. However, currently all second-layer Rollups on Ethereum use centralized sorters. In Opsides vision, there are three sequencer options that Opside ZK-RaaS can provide in the future: centralized (already supported), Opsides decentralized Sequencer (PoS), and third-party decentralized Sequencer (Espresso, Radius, etc.) ). In this way, developers can enjoy flexibility and convenience while ensuring the security of the entire application chain.
Highlight 3: Supports multiple Infra as a Service, including Dex, Oracle, NFTmarket, DID, Wallet, etc.
In addition to adding various customized functions, the ZK-Rollup LaunchBase launched by Opside this time also supports the addition of a variety of Infra as a Service options for project parties to make initial choices. After the dedicated zkEVM application chain is generated, there will be certain requirements for the infrastructure on the chain.
For example, Defi applications will have great demand for infrastructure such as oracles. Taking this into account, Opside has also reached cooperation with a number of well-known infrastructure providers and project parties in the industry, and also provides various types of Infra as a Service in the LaunchBase options for developers to choose from, including but not limited to Wallet as a Service. Service, Dex as a Service, Oracle as a Service, NFT Market as a Service, DID as a Service, etc. The options include OKX Web3 Wallet, iZUMi, Star protocol, Space ID, Supraoracle, etc., and more cooperation is still in progress In negotiation, waiting for access.
We also welcome more project parties who are interested in the Opside ZK ecosystem and Infra as a Service to have more in-depth communication with the Opside team:Contact@opsi.de 。
About Opside
Opside is a decentralized ZK-RaaS (ZK-Rollup as a Service) platform and the industrys leading ZKP (zero-knowledge proof) mining network. Opside uses PoS PoW hybrid consensus to provide Web3 developers with the function of generating zkEVM application chains with one click. At the same time, the ZKP computing tasks brought by these large numbers of ZK-Rollups also generate huge computing power requirements, thus providing a meaningful mining scenario for global miners.
