Deploy your own L3 rollup now available at a monthly cost of $50

Conduit, a blockchain infrastructure firm, has introduced a new platform that allows users to easily build and deploy a layer-3 rollup on Ethereum or other networks. The company claims that these layer-3 solutions will significantly reduce transaction costs. The platform can be set up in as little as 15 minutes and costs as low as $50 per month. Conduit’s deployment app offers different plans, including a $3,000 monthly plan that enables deployment on the mainnet. Users can choose between Optimism’s OP Stack or Arbitrum Orbit as the rollup framework and select Ethereum, Base, Zora, or Mode as the settlement layer. They can also choose to have rollup transaction data posted to either Ethereum or Celestia. The new features come just a week after Conduit announced a similar solution for layer-2 rollups. While some experts are excited about the ease of launching rollups, others express concerns about potential issues if users fail to pay the monthly bill or request to cancel. Conduit will also take a 7.5% cut of revenue from the layer-3 rollup. The company believes that these solutions will make Ethereum and layer-2 transaction fees significantly cheaper and increase block space availability.
