This guide introduces a structured framework for comparing L2 and rollup environments through the lens of operational risk, custody integration, uptime guarantees, and compliance alignment. It supports infrastructure leads, protocol operators, and custody teams tasked with making long-term platform decisions.
A framework built for institutional DeFi infrastructure evaluations.
This guide helps your organisation:
Assess rollup architectures and proof systems
Understand data availability and offchain assumptions
Map withdrawal delays and recovery paths
Evaluate sequencer design and failover strategies
Benchmark uptime, compliance posture, and custody readiness
Not all L2s meet the same operational or regulatory expectations. Institutions need more than throughput metrics—they need assurance around data retrievability, fund recovery, and service stability. This guide helps your team identify the criteria that matter before committing capital or engineering resources.
This guide is designed for:
Cantina delivers structured security audits and operational resilience assessments for high-value protocols and infrastructure. We support institutions preparing for integrations, risk reviews, and governance exposure across L2 and rollup environments.
Our work includes evaluating not just code, but the ability to operate securely under stress—assessing data availability, withdrawal mechanisms, sequencer design, and compliance posture to help institutions make informed platform decisions.
If your organization is preparing for due diligence, integration, or regulated engagement, we can help apply this framework to your architecture and operations. Cantina scopes institutional reviews that cover both code and resilience.
