This week in Conduit

Introducing Conduit Account Abstraction 

On Monday, we announced Conduit Account Abstraction: The easiest way to get seamless UX on your rollup. Launched in partnership with our partners at ZeroDev, Conduit Account Abstraction is the most cost-effective account abstraction solution on the market for rollups at $500/mo. Best of all, any rollup can use it — not just rollups operating on the Conduit platform. Read the full announcement here.

Now possible: OP Succinct with Celestia underneath

Last month, we announced fast finality for Conduit rollups through our partnership with Succinct Labs. Now, we’re excited to share that Conduit rollups can utilize their OP Succinct implementation in conjunction with Celestia DA. We’re really starting to see the benefits of modularity in rollup development: It’s now easy to launch a chain with high performance from G2, ultra efficient DA from Celestia SuperBlobs, and fast finality via zero-knowledge proofs from OP Succinct — something that would have been impossible mere months ago.

Congratulations to Conduit’s own Emiliano Bonassi on joining the Arbitrum Security Council 

Our partners at Arbitrum announced the results of their Security Council elections, and we’re excited to share that our Rollup Product Lead Emiliano Bonassi was chosen as one of six new members. Emiliano has provided critical security support to several Arbitrum Orbit chains and other projects throughout the DeFi ecosystem – no one is better equipped for this job. Congratulations to Emiliano and the other new council members!

The Ethena Hackathon is underway

We’re honored to be supporting the Ethena Hackathon happening this week in conjunction with Encode Club. Fresh off his Arbitrum Security Council election, our very own Emiliano will be on the judging panel, and our Rollup Engineer Drew also led a workshop on VRF oracles to help kick things off. Participants have until December 1 to ship, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with!

Devcon is almost here. See you in Bangkok!

Reminder: If you’re going to be at Devcon, be sure to book time with our Head of BD Forrest Norwood! You can also join us and our partners at Proof of Play and Privy for a night of drinks and discussion at 6pm local time, Thursday November 14. Register here!
