Conduit Newsletter, March 2025: State of Rollups, Marketplace partners, Blackbird and more new chains

The Conduit newsletter is back! After a brief hiatus, we’re back and shifting to a monthly model where we’ll focus on the biggest, most important developments in the Conduit ecosystem. 

New Conduit rollups

Three new rollups launched on Conduit in the last month! Allow us to introduce Blackbird Flynet, Perennial, and G7 Network.

Blackbird Flynet

Flynet is the rollup powering Blackbird, the only restaurant loyalty app that pays you to eat. Blackbird is as slick as any web2 restaurant app, but under the hood, it uses the blockchain to save restaurants money by cutting out expensive middlemen, reward users in $FLY that they can spend on meals, and give users control of their restaurant data. Learn more about Flynet here.

Perennial

Perennial is the new intents-powered perps rollup for the Base ecosystem. The team has already rolled out perp.fun, a perps DEX on Base that routes trades through the Perennial rollup to give users low fees, deep liquidity, and tight spreads. Learn more about Perennial here.

G7 Network

G7 Network is the rollup built to power the next generation of onchain games. G7 Network is built by the Game7 DAO – the team is currently in the process of migrating more than 600,000 gamer IDs to the new chain. Learn more about G7 Network here. 

Partnership announcements

19 new integration partners in Conduit Marketplace

We announced 19 new Conduit Marketplace partners, including teams like OKX, Nansen, Across, and more. That brings us to 75 tools available on Conduit Marketplace that rollups can integrate seamlessly – and more are on the way.

Unichain validator node

Unichain mainnet is now live, and we’re proud to share that Conduit is running a validator node to help secure the network. 

ZK fraud proofs with Succinct

We announced day one support for Succinct’s new OP-Succinct Lite offering, which lets rollups dip their toes into ZK proving without going all the way. How? ZK fraud proofs. ZK fraud proofs allow the rollup to act as an optimistic rollup until a challenger disputes a transaction, at which point the proposer submits a ZK proof defending their claim. ZK fraud proofs bring finality from seven days to as little as one day, with cheaper proving costs than full ZK. Learn more here.

Conduit Blog stories: 2025 State of Rollups and more

We released our first ever State of Rollups report! Read it now for the latest data on the most popular tech stack components for rollups, DA cost comparisons, rollup predictions for 2025, and more.

That’s not all though. We also published:

• A case study on how we've helped Derive build Ethereum’s premier derivatives DEX.
• The roadmap for how ZK proving on rollups will enable Ethereum to realize its world computer vision.
• A breakdown of total cost of operations for rollups, with a focus on how making the right infra choices is key to saving not just money, but time and opportunity cost as well.

Conduit product updates

We’ve also launched a few key product updates in the last month.

• Nodes API key access controls. Manage your API key access by configuring permissions across different security dimensions, including domains, addresses, and IPs. To manage these settings, go to Nodes Dashboard → select the API key you want to configure → click Settings in the left sidebar.
• Viewer roles. We've added a new user role with view-only permissions. Manage team roles from the Settings page in the Conduit app.
• Organization and account renaming. You can now rename your Conduit organization and your user account display name from Organization Settings and Account Settings respectively.
• Team invitation improvements. New user accounts will be able to accept an organization invite from the creation screen should there be any outstanding.

That’s it until next month! If you want to learn more about Conduit, you can:
