L2 Rollup-as-a-Service

​

The Rollup Challenge

Modern Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) providers like Conduit and Caldera extend rollup toolkits (Optimism OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, ZKSync ZK Stack) by adding precompiles and custom functionality. However, these platforms face significant challenges:

• Pricing Complexity: No native support for efficiently pricing new types of computation added via precompiles
• Limited Expressiveness: Restricted ability to add heterogeneous compute without significant modifications
• Execution Overhead: All nodes must execute all computation, limiting scalability
• Feature Gaps: No support for advanced features like scheduled transactions

​

Ritual + RaaS

Ritual’s architecture introduces six key capabilities that enhance L2 RaaS platforms:

​

Efficient Precompile Pricing

Resonance enables:

• Dynamic pricing for any new precompile computation
• Demand-driven resource allocation
• Automatic price discovery through broker competition

​

Heterogeneous Compute

Native support for diverse computation:

• Custom precompiles for specialized workloads (AI Inference, ZK Proving & Verification, TEE Execution, Chain Abstraction, and more)
• Optimized execution with specialized hardware nodes

​

Minimized Re-execution

Symphony’s EOVMT protocol provides:

• Node specialization for different computation types
• Reduced replicated execution overhead
• Parallel processing of independent computations
• Enhanced scalability through distributed verification

​

Scheduled Transactions

Built-in support for scheduled transactions:

• Conditional computation triggers
• Enshrined top-of-block inclusion

​

EIP Extensions

Via EVM++ EIP Extensions:

• Continual support and inclusion of in-demand EIPs that improve UX + DX
• Day-0 support for EIP-665, EIP-5027, EIP-5920, and EIP-7212

​

Robust Blob Pricing

Resonance enables:

• Efficient pricing of EIP-4844 blob data
• Dynamic adjustments based on network conditions
