Announcing Conduit’s Newest Rollup Framework: Agglayer CDK by Polygon Labs

We’re excited to introduce Conduit’s third rollup framework alongside the OP Stack and Arbitrum Orbit: Agglayer CDK by Polygon Labs. Developers can now run their own CDK rollup on Conduit, with ZK security and native cross-chain interoperability via the Agglayer.

We’ve worked with Polygon Labs over the last several months to build a new Agglayer CDK implementation called CDK-opgeth. CDK-opgeth adds ZK technology to the OP Stack, giving developers maximum performance, security, and interoperability. And, as the first rollup framework we’ve co-developed, CDK-opgeth is natively optimized to leverage Conduit infrastructure, enabling faster launches, seamless upgrades, and best-in-class performance through enhancements like our G2 sequencer.

Performance, security, liquidity: Why developers are excited about Conduit + Polygon Labs

Agglayer CDK has several unique benefits that help rollups grow faster and perform better for users, especially when deployed with Conduit. 

Agglayer liquidity and interoperability supercharge growth

Rollups deployed with CDK natively connect to the Agglayer, which is unifying web3 by creating an interoperability layer any chain can plug into. As part of the Agglayer, your rollup gets seamless cross-chain UX with other Agglayer chains out of the box. That means you can draw on the ecosystem’s existing user base and liquidity to kickstart your rollup’s growth from day one. 

ZK proofs for speed and security

We’ve long believed that ZK proving is the endgame for Ethereum, due to the enhancements it provides on security, time to finality, and interoperability. Ultimately, deploying a CDK-opgeth rollup on Conduit will be the easiest, fastest way to launch a ZK rollup.

CDK-opgeth makes ZK accessible to more rollup builders with its use of the OP Stack and Succinct’s SP1 zkVM. Full ZK proving will arrive in the coming months. In its initial release, rollups built with CDK-opgeth can implement pessimistic proofs, which provide cost-effective security and immediate Agglayer connectivity. Polygon Lab’s validium implementation is also coming to CDK-opgeth soon. Developers can choose the ideal solution for their project’s security and budget needs – a perfect example of CDK’s flexibility.

Built for Conduit infrastructure like G2

We were thrilled when Polygon Labs approached us to help them build CDK-opgeth – not just because Polygon Labs is a leader in the space, but also because it was a chance to build the first rollup framework natively optimized for Conduit infrastructure. This means Conduit can deploy your Agglayer CDK rollup faster, integrate advanced tooling effortlessly, and deliver unparalleled performance improvements.

What would this look like in practice? Imagine your rollup hits hypergrowth and has to quickly scale its infrastructure – a nice problem to have, but one that can be difficult if not managed properly. If your rollup is on Conduit, we’d be able to upgrade it to our G2 sequencer immediately, giving you the highest throughput possible on Ethereum at 100 Mgas/s, with more improvements to come. 

It’s all possible because CDK-opgeth is optimized for G2 and other Conduit tooling.
