Offchain Labs, Inc.

To enable developers, businesses, and individuals to harness the full potential of Ethereum technology through high-performance, scalable infrastructure.

Built as the original developer of Arbitrum, Offchain Labs has become a key player in Ethereum scaling infrastructure. The company develops layer-two solutions that help Ethereum handle global demand while maintaining security. Arbitrum One, their flagship product, is widely used by enterprises, developers, and users for faster, cheaper transactions. Beyond scaling, Offchain Labs builds enterprise blockchain infrastructure and provides strategic advisory services for organizations moving onchain. The team operates with a research-first approach, bridging academic innovation with production-grade systems for the programmable economy.

Products

Arbitrum One handles the majority of Ethereum layer-two transaction volume through optimistic rollup technology. Arbitrum Nova focuses on high-volume, low-cost transactions using AnyTrust technology. Arbitrum Orbit lets teams launch custom chains with their own scaling parameters. Stylus enables smart contract development in Rust, C, and C++ beyond just Solidity. The company also maintains Prysm, which powers a significant portion of Ethereum consensus nodes, and recently acquired ZeroDev for advanced smart account infrastructure.

The company has raised approximately $124-145 million across multiple rounds since 2018. After a $3.8 million seed round in January 2019, Offchain Labs closed a $20 million Series A in April 2021, followed by a $100 million Series B in August 2021 led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.
