View company profile

Through groundbreaking technology, Gelato Network is revolutionizing the Web3 space by providing a decentralized backend infrastructure that empowers developers to build advanced, automated, and user-friendly decentralized applications (dApps). At its core, Gelato Network addresses critical limitations in traditional blockchain applications, such as the inability of smart contracts to self-execute, the burden of high gas fees, and restricted interaction with off-chain data. By offering a suite of innovative solutions, Gelato enables developers to overcome these hurdles and unlock new possibilities in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and gaming. The platform's key offerings include smart contract automation, a robust relay network for gasless transactions, and Web3 Functions that connect smart contracts to real-world data and computation.

Gelato Network's Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform is a cornerstone of its innovation, allowing developers to easily deploy and manage their own Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) chains using both Zero-Knowledge (ZK) and Optimistic rollup technologies. This service is designed to be super-fast, incredibly secure, and infinitely scalable, providing a production-ready Web3 development environment from the genesis block. Gelato's infrastructure seamlessly integrates with popular Web3 tools and services like Etherscan, The Graph, Pyth, and Layer Zero, further streamlining the development process. By abstracting away the complexities of infrastructure management, Gelato empowers development teams to focus on building innovative onchain products and experiences. The platform's commitment to a decentralized architecture, built upon a network of node operators, ensures redundancy, mitigates risks of centralized points of failure, and enhances overall system security and robustness. This distributed approach is crucial for the daily operations in Web3, with top projects relying on Gelato to facilitate millions of transactions.
