NodeReal's RaaS: A One-Stop Solution for Large-Scale Decentralized Applications

Author: NodeReal

Introduction

Roll-up-as-Service (RaaS) leverages Optimistic Rollup and zero-knowledge proof technologies to enhance the scalability and efficiency of blockchain networks. Major industry players like Arbitrum (Orbit), Optimism (OP Stack), zkSync (Hyperchains), and Polygon (CDK) have launched a variety of solutions to help developers build new rollups. RaaS providers offer diverse solutions, ranging from comprehensive management to no-code one-click options. Let's delve into the diverse components of RaaS solutions:

• Scalable and customizable Rollups: As the core of RaaS, Rollups reduce the data burden on the main chain (Layer 1) by bundling multiple transactions into one, enhancing scalability.
• Infrastructure and tools: Successful blockchains rely on a diverse infrastructure, including basic cross-chain bridges and node services, as well as advanced data indexing and multi-signature systems.
• Security and DevOps: Providing security management for all critical components and ensuring high availability of key infrastructure such as key management, performance monitoring, and alerts.

In this blog post, we will share:

1. The business case for RaaS solutions.
2. NodeReal's one-stop solution, covering everything from Rollup blockchain technology to a complete set of infrastructure and tools.
3. NodeReal's comprehensive services, including customization, deployment, and operational services, along with industry-validated SLA support.

Potential Business Cases

RaaS has potential business use cases in the blockchain space, especially for projects seeking to improve scalability and efficiency. However, not every project is suitable for RaaS. Projects need to comprehensively assess their needs from various angles before choosing RaaS:

• Customization flexibility: Custom Gas tokens can ensure the flexibility of the chain.
• High transaction volume and frequency: RaaS is most beneficial for projects with high transaction volumes and user activity, ideally with over 500,000 active users weekly. It will effectively reduce network congestion and transaction costs.
• Scalability requirements: Projects focused on rapid scalability, managing a growing user base, and handling business during peak times without degrading performance are ideal candidates for RaaS.
• Security assessment: It is crucial for projects to evaluate their security needs and confirm that their RaaS provider can meet these requirements.

Given these criteria, projects such as large-scale GameFi (e.g., Hooked's potential AppChain), fully on-chain games, NFT platforms (Blur's Blast), high-frequency DeFi (dYdX Chain), advanced game engines, and supply chain systems are increasingly inclined to deploy their Rollups.

NodeReal's RaaS - One-Stop Solution

NodeReal's Semita is based on the powerful OPStack and designed as a modular solution. This innovative approach allows for independent development and refinement of different components of the blockchain. It also promotes agile and efficient development, ensuring smooth integration of various components.

Combining OP Stack's modular design, our solution optimizes the infrastructure stack through several key technologies.

• Provides over 4K TPS.
• Effectively establishes a data availability (DA) interface and stores Layer 2 transaction data on a separate DA layer like Greenfield.
• Low Gas costs.
• Battle-tested RPC services, scalable to 1 million queries per second (QPS).
• High-performance blockchain explorer, including support for statistics, contract verification, and more.
• Integrated account abstraction (AA) to simplify user login, provide account recovery, and manage ERC20 token Gas fees.
• Implements high availability (HA) solutions and includes multiple component instances (such as sequencers and batch processors) to achieve high availability (HA).

With a one-stop infrastructure stack and built-in components, Semita has already attracted several significant clients:

NodeReal's Full Lifecycle Services

The RaaS process from design to launch typically includes several key stages to ensure a smooth transition and effective implementation:

• Consultation: This initial phase mainly involves understanding the specific needs and challenges of the client.
• Design: Based on insights gained during the consultation, design a tailored RaaS solution.
• Development: In this phase, the actual rollup solution is developed, including writing necessary smart contracts, setting up rollup infrastructure, and integrating APIs and other tools.
• Operation: After development is complete, the rollup solution is deployed to the mainnet, and subsequent operations begin. This phase includes monitoring the rollup's performance, ensuring data integrity, and providing ongoing support.

Throughout these stages, continuous communication, unwavering transparency, and adaptability are key to overcoming challenges and ensuring that the RaaS solution meets client needs. NodeReal has the capability to formulate and complete this full cycle in just one month.

The mainnet launch is not the end but the beginning of our service. NodeReal is committed to maintaining your blockchain with the latest technology, optimal performance, and appropriate infrastructure.

Conclusion

We believe that RaaS is the future of blockchain technology. By developing the first rollup chain based on OP Stack, we aim to provide developers with intuitive tools, high performance, low Gas, and highly scalable solutions. At the same time, we continuously optimize our technology stack, including implementing multi-proof strategies and supporting diverse clients. High performance remains our ultimate goal, and we are dedicated to leveraging innovative technologies to further enhance the performance of the chain.
