What is Quarry?

Quarry augments EVM chains to run worlds in their ideal environment.

It runs a custom-built software stack, from block builder to ERC-4337 bundler, that enables latency as low as 7ms, with one-click account creation, paymaster gas sponsoring, and more.

It is currently available in early alpha on the Rhodolite devnet, and is scheduled to release on the Garnet Testnet and on Redstone Mainnet in early 2025. Beyond Redstone, Lattice can also deploy custom Quarry chains for applications that can take advantage of its benefits.

How it started

At Lattice, we believe the Ethereum Virtual Machine can one day be the World Computer, not just the world’s financial computer — an open, accessible network that plays host to emergent behavior and eventually Autonomous Worlds (opens in a new tab). The software we build reflects this belief. With MUD (opens in a new tab), we built an operating system for applications on the EVM that enables developers to build with a familiar data model and automatic indexer, greatly simplifying the development process, encouraging third-party development, and leaning into the EVM’s natural support of composability. With Redstone (opens in a new tab), we built a super-low cost Layer Two, which uses an Alt-DA protocol (opens in a new tab) built by Lattice and upstreamed to the OP Stack (opens in a new tab). Teams like CCP Games (EVE Frontier (opens in a new tab)), Biomes (opens in a new tab), and more use Redstone and MUD to build Autonomous Worlds and push the frontier of EVM applications.

However, we need to go further in realizing this vision of Autonomous Worlds. While MUD and Redstone go far in pushing the limits of the EVM, we know there are more ways to equip your application with superior latency, onboarding, scalability, and affordability.
