Ankr will provide the necessary engineering and infrastructure, making it easier than ever to deploy new OP Chains. The collaboration between Ankr and Optimism was officially announced during OP Labs’ Onchain Summit at Devconnect in Istanbul.
Ankr’s Rollup as a Service allows users to set up an independent OP Stack-based L2 that exclusively serves the needs of their applications or projects. The Optimism Foundation has appointed Ankr as an official implementation partner to deliver OP Chains to potential customers.
Josh Neuroth, Ankr’s Head of Product, commented on the importance of this partnership, saying, “The combination of benefits of the OP Stack and Ankr’s Rollup as a Service will be a game changer for Web3 developers.”
“The scalability it introduces, coupled with the simplicity of deploying a new L2 solution for any enterprise or dApp, brings us closer to realizing the promises of the industry’s early days.”

“This marks the maturation needed to make the next generation of use cases a reality,” Josh added.
Tess Rinearson, Head of Product at OP Labs, expressed her excitement about working with Ankr to improve the onboarding of new users into the thriving Superchain ecosystem. She said: “Ankr is already a trusted partner providing Optimism with node infrastructure, so offering high-quality Rollup as a Service is a natural extension of our partnership.”
Ankr’s Rollup as a Service is an extension of their Scaling Services suite, which already allows developers to launch custom sidechains on various blockchain ecosystems. This offering expands the range of scaling solutions available to developers and addresses the industry’s growing demand for highly scalable projects that can leverage Ethereum’s security and token model.
