Should You Build Your Own Rollup?
summary
Gelato offers rollup-as-a-service that lets projects spin up an L2 with one-click deploy on common stacks (op stack, AUM orbit stack) and bundles native modules, bridges, wallets and block explorers. Real costs aren’t $40M — rough infra math lands around $20K per month today with predictions to $10K and $5K; some live rollups report ~25k/month profit from sequencing fees. Major use cases are high-throughput games (games as the biggest sector), bespoke sequencing, custom bridging and reclaiming fee revenue versus renting Base or Ethereum.
