TL;DR

  • Gelato Turbo is a high-performance sequencer built for rollups that require high throughput, low latency, and production-grade reliability at scale.

  • Turbo delivers up to 400+ Mgas/s on OP and Arbitrum Stacks, and 1+ Ggas/s on ABC, exceeding default rollup throughput by up to 100x.

  • Turbo supports sub-second block times, as low as 5 ms with Flashblocks and Gattaca support.

  • Proven in production with Kraken Ink, Reya, and Camp, with 99.99% uptime and multi-regional node deployments.

Web3’s infrastructure gap

Web3 is reaching an inflection point.

Stablecoins are moving real economic value at global scale. Embedded wallets are removing onboarding friction. Fintech platforms like Stripe and Robinhood are integrating crypto primitives directly into consumer products.

But while application demand is scaling rapidly, much of the underlying execution infrastructure has not kept pace.

Most rollups today still operate at single-digit Mgas/s throughput, with block times and latency profiles that were acceptable for early DeFi but break down under sustained load. As usage increases, the impact is immediate: latency spikes, execution slows, and user experience degrades precisely when reliability matters most.

For the first time, rollups are expected to operate at internet scale. That means:

  • Near-instant execution

  • Predictable performance under global demand

  • Infrastructure that can handle billions in daily volume without collapsing under stress

This is the environment modern rollup teams are building for.

That’s why we built Turbo: the sequencer designed to power financial applications that demand fast, predictable, and uncompromising performance,  even under global loads.


What is Gelato Turbo

Gelato Turbo is a custom sequencer purpose-built for high-performance rollups.

It is designed for teams building applications where execution quality directly impacts the product: financial markets, consumer apps, payments, and enterprise systems operating onchain.

Turbo is fully compatible with all major rollup frameworks, including the OP Stack, Arbitrum Stack, and ABC, allowing teams to deploy high-performance rollups without sacrificing ecosystem compatibility or composability.


What Turbo unlocks

Turbo turns rollups into high-performance application platforms capable of operating at global scale.

High sustained throughput

Turbo delivers sustained throughput that holds under real production load.

  • Turbo supports throughput over 400+ Mgas/s on OP Stack and Arbitrum Stack, with sustained throughput comfortably above 100 Mgas/s.

This allows applications to remain responsive during periods of peak demand, rather than degrading when activity is highest.

Gigagas execution on ABC

For applications that demand global scale and near-instant finality, Turbo also supports 1+ Ggas/s sustained throughput on ABC.

This unlocks entirely new classes of onchain applications, including real-time data markets, high-frequency trading, and IP licensing systems that are not viable on default rollup infrastructure.

Near-zero latency

Turbo is optimized for low-latency execution paths.

  • Turbo supports sub-second block times across all major rollup frameworks

  • As low as 5 ms block times with Flashblocks and Gattaca support.

This enables user experiences that feel instantaneous, even in latency-sensitive environments like perpetuals trading.

Global production reliability

Performance only matters if it is reliable.

Turbo is deployed with:

  • 99.99% uptime

  • Multi-regional node deployments for low-latency global access

With Turbo, teams are not just scaling throughput. They are building infrastructure that remains stable under real-world conditions.

Proven in production across stacks

Turbo is not a theoretical benchmark. It is production infrastructure powering some of the most demanding rollups in the ecosystem today.

Kraken Ink (OP Stack)

Kraken selected Gelato to deploy Ink, its high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, with the goal of achieving sub-second execution while remaining fully composable with the Optimism ecosystem.

By leveraging Turbo as its sequencer, Ink is able to push OP Stack performance well beyond default limits, with throughput and latency that comfortably support concurrent perps, payments, and lending workloads that can meet the global scale of their user base.

Ink demonstrates what is possible when OP-based rollups are paired with sequencing infrastructure designed for performance.

Reya (Arbitrum Stack)

Turbo powers ReyaChain, a custom Arbitrum Stack rollup built specifically for high-performance perpetual trading.

Perpetual exchanges are among the most demanding applications in crypto. Execution latency, oracle update cadence, and throughput directly affect pricing quality, user experience, and risk management.

With Turbo, Reya operates at performance levels well beyond standard Arbitrum configurations:

  • Sub-100 ms block times, delivering execution comparable to centralized venues

  • Near real-time oracle updates, reducing stale pricing and limiting MEV leakage

  • High sustained throughput that remains stable during periods of extreme volatility

  • Proven under stress, including the largest liquidation event in crypto history on Oct 10, 2025, when $19B in leveraged positions were unwound while Turbo maintained smooth block production at 355+ Mgas/s

Quote from Reya Chain CEO, Simon Jones, on the performance of Gelato Turbo, delivering sub-100 ms block times and 400 Mgas/s throughput.


Camp (ABC Stack)

With Turbo running on ABC, Camp became the first chain to achieve and sustain gigagas throughput in production.

Combined with ≤100 ms block times, Turbo enables Camp to deliver real-time IP licensing, provenance, and royalty settlement fully onchain.

This allows Camp’s network to scale reliably as users mint, license, and trade IP, delivering real-time execution with 100x the throughput of most L2s.

Quote from Camp Network founder, Nirav Murthy, on the performance of Gelato Turbo - delivering 50,000 TPS and Gigagas throughput for Camp chain.


Who Turbo is for

Turbo is designed for teams building applications where execution quality is non-negotiable:

  • High-performance chains and rollup ecosystems

  • Perpetuals, spot DEXs, and high-frequency trading environments

  • Wallets and payment products requiring low-latency settlement

  • Fintech and stablecoin platforms targeting Web2-grade performance

  • Consumer applications serving millions of users

  • Enterprises migrating real-world systems onchain

Future-proof your rollup

Do not let execution be your bottleneck.

As crypto adoption accelerates, the margin for error shrinks. Users do not care why a system slowed down. They only notice that it did.

Turbo is built by one of crypto’s most experienced infrastructure teams, operating since 2019 and powering applications like Kraken Ink, Gemini Wallet, Infinex, Avantis, and Safe.

For teams building high-performance rollups, Turbo ensures throughput and latency are not the limiting factors.
