Conduit's 2024 Recap: Features We Shipped And Rollups We Helped Launch

2024 is over and we'd like to reflect on what was a truly momentous year – not just for Conduit, but for rollups as a whole.

At this time last year, launching a rollup was difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. Now, anyone can do it in a few clicks for as little as $3,000 a month ($50 on testnet!), and instantly deploy with the right modules for their use case – framework, DA, proving mechanism, account abstraction, bridge, and more. We're proud to say that Conduit has led the charge in breaking down these barriers and democratizing rollups.

At the same time, 2024 was a year of enormous growth for Conduit. We went from six mainnets at the start of the year to over 40 today, with many more to come. Our customers are scaling Ethereum to infinity, and we're helping them every step of the way.

Keep reading for a recap of everything we shipped on the Conduit platform and all the rollups that launched with us in 2024.
