What Conduit does
Conduit (legal entity Conduit XYZ, Inc.) is a San Francisco-based, remote-first blockchain infrastructure company that operates a full-stack rollup-as-a-service platform across the Ethereum ecosystem. Founded in 2023 by CEO Andrew Huang, the company deploys and operates production-grade L2 and L3 rollups for institutions, payments providers, and DeFi teams using the OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and Agglayer CDK frameworks, with modular data availability (Ethereum, Celestia, EigenDA, Arbitrum AnyTrust, OP Plasma) and pluggable proving systems (OP Succinct, Boundless, OP Cannon). The platform also runs high-performance RPC infrastructure (Conduit Hypernode) across more than 100 networks and serves as the official node provider for 150+ chains. Conduit's proprietary technology stack includes the G1, G2, and G3 sequencers, with the G3 delivering up to 3 Ggas/s throughput (approximately 60x off-the-shelf sequencers), a Privacy Suite for confidential workloads, Flashblocks sub-block confirmations, an ERC-4337 bundler, a VRF oracle, and a managed indexing service. The company wraps these modules in a one-click Marketplace of 100+ integrations (Privy, Chainlink, LayerZero, Wormhole, Pyth, thirdweb, etc.) and a Conduit Enterprise Suite bundled with Professional Services and SOC 2 Type I certification.
Conduit's business model combines recurring chain subscriptions (Trial Testnet at $250/month, Growth at $60,000/year, Pro and Enterprise tiers custom-priced, all including a +5% sequencer profit share), usage-based RPC node pricing measured in Compute Units (Free Starter with 400M CUs/month, Pro at $50/month with 1B CUs, Enterprise custom), indexing subscriptions ($250–$500/month), and Professional Services revenue from forward-deployed engineering engagements. Distribution is hybrid: enterprise direct sales with multi-year SLAs and dedicated Slack channels for chains, plus self-serve sign-up for RPC nodes and Trial Testnet deployments at app.conduit.xyz. Named customers include Polygon Labs (co-built Katana, $540M+ TVL), Sky Mavis (Ronin migration to Ethereum L2), Stripe and Paradigm (Tempo stablecoin payments chain), Plume (RWA chain, 280K+ holders), Zora, Mode, Orderly, Aevo, Lyra, Ethena, Coinbase Wallet, Chainlink, OpenSea, LayerZero, Dune, and TRM Labs. Total disclosed funding is $44M, comprising a $7M Seed (March 2023, led by Paradigm alongside the Optimism Foundation partnership) and a $37M Series A (June 2024, led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures, with Coinbase Ventures and Bankless Ventures).
