Conduit
01Description

Rollup-as-a-Service platform for deploying OP Stack Superchain and Arbitrum Orbit (incl. Stylus) rollups with managed RPC, sequencer, explorer, and observability.

  • 01Superchain OP Stack chains
  • 02Arbitrum Orbit + Stylus L3s
  • 03managed infra and monitoring
  • 04production rollups with SLA
  • 05fast spin-up (~15 min)
04Environment variables
VariableScopeDescription
CONDUIT_CHAIN_RPC_URLClientRPC endpoint for your Conduit-managed rollup (issued from the dashboard).
CONDUIT_API_KEYServerConduit API key for chain configuration, alerting, and admin endpoints.
05Prompt snippet
Use the Conduit dashboard to deploy a rollup. Select OP Stack (Superchain) or Arbitrum Orbit (with optional Stylus support for Rust/C++ contracts), choose a DA layer (Ethereum blobs, Celestia, EigenDA, or Avail), and Conduit will provision the sequencer, batcher, proposer, RPC, Blockscout explorer, and Grafana monitoring. Use the issued RPC URL and chain ID from the app; trigger ops (pausing sequencer, gas config) via the dashboard or Conduit API.
06Gotchas
  • Superchain interop requires opting in at deploy and tracking Optimism upgrade cadence — missed hard forks halt the sequencer.
  • Arbitrum Orbit + Stylus contracts use a different gas accounting model (ink) — fee estimation libraries built for pure EVM may misprice them.
  • DA inclusion latency depends on the chosen layer (Celestia ~12s blocks, EigenDA seconds, Ethereum blobs ~12s but rate-limited) — design UX accordingly.
  • Mainnet runs ~$3k+/mo plus DA pass-through; testnet starts around $50/mo — budget before deploying.
  • Sequencer is centralized by default; decentralized sequencing (e.g., Espresso) is an opt-in addon.
