OP Labs, founded in 2019 by Jinglan Wang, Karl Floersch, Ben Jones and Kevin Ho in New York as Optimism PBC, builds core engineering for the Optimism ecosystem. Its products include the OP Stack modular rollup framework, OP Mainnet optimistic rollup and tooling for DAOs launching Superchain networks that share sequencing, bridges and governance via RetroFunding. The stack emphasizes EVM equivalence, low fees and simple migration while maintaining fraud-proof security inherited from Ethereum. Headquartered in New York with a globally distributed collective, OP Labs collaborates with Base, Zora and other Superchain teams on upgrades and standards. The organization operates as a public goods lab rather than a centralized vendor. Expect a values-driven culture centered on open collaboration, protocol correctness and scaling Ethereum with long-term optimism and shared governance.
