Launching your own chain? That’s step one.
The real question is—what kind of chain should it be?
Monolithic L1s or Modular Rollup L1s and L2s?
Use the “Pick-Your-Chain” framework to decide on the right architecture for your chain↓
This framework guides you to the ideal blockchain stack for your project by aligning technical and operational priorities like decentralization, cost, performance/speed, bridging, and UX.
See below for the "Pick-Your-Chain" framework ↓
Choosing a blockchain stack means juggling decentralization, performance/speed, and cost.
Ethereum L2s like Arbitrum Orbit & OP Stack offer strong trust guarantees — but that 7-day fraud window? A huge destroyer of capital efficiency and UX.
ZK Rollup frameworks such as @SuccinctLabs are shifting that dynamic.
With near-instant finality and no dispute period, they slash bridging latency and improve cross-chain UX — a huge leap for decentralized apps.
Adoption’s early, but momentum is building.
Looking for an Ethereum-aligned rollup stack?
• Use @optimism OP Stack if you need an open-source client
• Prioritize interoperability? The OP Stack is built for it
• Join the Superchain for a shared standard across L2s
A good fit for teams aligning with Ethereum-standardization efforts.
Prioritizing performance and custom execution?
• @arbitrum Orbit supports enshrined Ethereum bridging
• Offers flexibility for custom execution environments
• Can integrate with altDA like Celestia for scalability
Arbitrum AnyTrust DAC and Orbit with @celestia DA have traction with high-speed, low-cost use cases where centralization is acceptable.
Looking beyond L2 rollups? How about Rollup L1s?
• Sovereign Rollup L1s on @celestia use modular DA and consensus
• No enshrined bridge—integrate with @Layerzero_Core, @Hyperlane, @circle CCTP, or opt out entirely
• Retain rollup benefits without L2 dependencies
→ @abundance_xyz ABC is the middle ground for teams seeking L1 sovereignty without rolling their own consensus network.
Optimizing for performance and UX in trusted institutional settings?
• @avax Avalanche L1s offer architectural flexibility
• Ideal for compliance-oriented CeDeFi, gaming, and consortium chains
• Start permissioned (PoA), migrate to their own PoS network if/when needed
A flexible option for high-speed apps with known participants.
The “Pick-Your-Chain” framework is evolving:
• ZK Rollups (like OP Succinct) aren’t fully integrated yet, but promise faster bridging + lower capital cost
• Native Rollups tap Ethereum’s execution directly via precompiles
• Based Rollups use Ethereum validators for sequencing—no extra tokens or governance
→ All signal a shift toward simpler, more decentralized designs.
