AI Agent Platform Phala Network Launches New L2 Rollup on Ethereum
Phala Network’s Op-Succinct rollup boosts Ethereum scalability, combining ZK proofs and Optimistic Rollups for optimized Web3 and AI applications.
Phala Network said on January 8 that it launched the first-ever Op-Succinct Layer 2 rollup on Ethereum. This initiative is the result of a partnership with Succinct Labs and Conduit.
The new rollup aims to improve Ethereum’s scalability and performance by using the Op-Succinct technology to optimize transaction speed, cost, and security.
Phala Network Debuts Op-Succinct Rollup, Boosting Ethereum Scalability
The Op-Succinct integrates two technologies: Optimistic Rollups (Op) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK). Optimistic Rollups help improve the scalability of blockchain networks, while ZK proofs offer cryptographic guarantees that verify transaction validity.
By combining both, Op-Succinct boosts Ethereum’s ability to process transactions faster and cheaper while maintaining high security.
“Developed through Succinct’s ZK expertise, this system enhances Ethereum scalability by delivering low-cost, fast-finality, and highly secure rollups,” Phala explained.
However, despite the announcement, there has been no positive impact on the PHA token. In fact, in the past 24 hours, the token is down by nearly 6%.

Phala Network operates as a parachain in Polkadot. By moving to Ethereum, Phala offers developers a more secure and affordable way to run cryptographic computations.
Its infrastructure allows for privacy-preserving, verifiable computations, making it easier for developers to transition from Web2 to Web3.
Phala also launched Phala Cloud on January 8, a secure platform designed for AI applications. Phala Cloud supports both CPU and GPU TEEs (Trusted Execution Environment), offering flexible billing and easy deployment. This breakthrough sets the stage for decentralized AI agents.
Phala Network is widely known as the execution layer for Web3 AI, enabling artificial intelligence to understand and interact with blockchains. Its multi-proof system addresses the challenges of AI execution, providing a platform where developers can easily create tamper-proof, unstoppable AI agents.
These agents are seamlessly integrated with on-chain smart contracts through the AI-Agent Contract, ensuring secure and reliable interactions.
Moreover, ai16z built its open-source AI Agent framework, Eliza, based on Phala’s TEE network. The latest announcement from Phala comes as there is growing hype around AI Agents in the web3 space.
