About Rome Protocol

Rome Protocol is building set of services on Solana for L2s. One of the services is shared sequencer on Solana for L2s amongst others. Shared sequencers and these services solve the biggest problems for Ethereum’s rollup-centric future. Solana provides a well-tested, secure, decentralized and high throughput network to solve these problems

We work in person from our Westlake Village (CA) office and are remote friendly.
