OP Labs is the core development team behind the OP Stack, the open-source framework powering Optimism, one of the leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions. The company focuses on building infrastructure that makes blockchain transactions faster and cheaper, contributing significantly to the Ethereum ecosystem's scalability. With a global team of engineers and researchers, OP Labs is at the forefront of the 'Superchain' vision, a network of interoperable Layer 2 chains.
OP Labs was founded in 2020 by a team including Ben Jones and Karl Floersch, who were early contributors to the Ethereum ecosystem. The company developed the Optimism mainnet, which launched in 2021, and has since become a major player in the Layer 2 scaling space. In 2023, they introduced the OP Stack, a modular framework for building custom Layer 2 chains, and have been instrumental in the growth of the Superchain ecosystem.
