Blockchain infrastructure firm Conduit has launched a new platform allowing users to build and deploy a layer-3 rollup on Ethereum or other networks for as cheap as $50 a month and as little as 15 minutes.
Conduit <a href="https://twitter.com/conduitxyz/status/1760353539304419770?s=207" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">announced</a> the launch in a Feb. 21 X post, making its case that “ultra high-throughput“ layer 3s will make transactions even cheaper.
“Base and OP Mainnet are examples of general-purpose L2 networks. They’re cheap, fast, and power hundreds of different applications,” explained Conduit in a Feb. 21 blog.&nbsp;
“But some applications need even cheaper compute and dedicated blockspace. L3s allow apps to stop competing with others for blockspace and scale into their demand,” it added.&nbsp;
The new features came just a week after Conduit&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/conduitxyz/status/1757812032756224399" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">announced</a> a similar solution for layer 2 rollups on Feb. 15.
The cheapest $50 monthly plan allows a rollup to be built on Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet, though the heftier $3,000 a month plan allows users to deploy on mainnet, <a href="https://app.conduit.xyz/deploy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to Conduit’s deployment app.

The Conduit app allows users to choose either Optimism’s OP Stack or Arbitrum Orbit as a rollup framework, then Ethereum, Base, Zora, or Mode as the settlement layer where the rollup transactions are verified.&nbsp;Users can also have rollup transaction data posted to either Ethereum or Celestia.
The L3 additions were&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/TrustlessState/status/1757832425424486490" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">described</a> as a “big day for the +1M rollups believers” by David Hoffman, a host on Ethereum show Bankless, while Paradigm’s head of market development, Nick Martitsch, <a href="https://x.com/nickmartitsch/status/1757821093229006930" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> there’s never been an easier way to launch a rollup to date.

“Don’t think people appreciate what is going on under the hood here,” Paradigm research partner Georgios Konstantopoulos <a href="https://x.com/gakonst/status/1760359272603689006" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> of Conduit’s development.
Conduit advertises that these rollups can be deployed “in just a few clicks” with “no code required.”
Some observers on X however, shared concerns about the new ease of launching rollups. Psuedononmous DeFiLlama developer 0xngmi&nbsp;

While there isn’t a deployment cost for the testnet plan, those signing up for the mainnet plan must pay a gas fee for deployment, which is $8,150, worth 2.79 Ether <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">(ETH)</a> at the time of writing. It takes approximately 15 minutes for the rollup to be deployed.
Conduit will also pocket 7.5% of revenue from the layer 3 rollup.
The company <a href="https://x.com/conduitxyz/status/1757812042033922346?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">claims</a> these layer 3 solutions will make Ethereum and layer 2 transaction fees more than 100 and 10 times cheaper as it makes block space more “abundant.”
Cointelegraph reached out to Conduit for comment but didn’t receive an immediate response.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin previously argued that <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-shares-vision-for-layer-3-protocols">layer 3s</a> could provide “customized functionality” to users’ on-chain needs in a September 2022 post.
However, he wasn’t a fan of simply stacking the same scaling scheme on top of itself.
But, “a three-layer architecture where the second layer and third layer have different purposes, however, can work,” Buterin said.
