Overview

gitchain-l2 is an optimistic rollup built on Ethereum, purpose-built for the GitNull developer ecosystem. It provides:

• Low gas costs — developer transactions (merge proofs, bounty settlements) cost a fraction of Ethereum mainnet
• Fast finality — 2-second block times, 7-day fraud proof window
• Full EVM compatibility — deploy any Solidity contract without modifications
• Native $GNULL integration — the protocol token is the native gas token on L2

Connect via ethers.js

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.gitchain-l2.xyz');
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log(network.chainId); // 7472n

// Connect ContribLedger
const contribLedger = new ethers.Contract(
  '0x5e6f7a8b9c0d1e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2d3e4f',
  CONTRIB_LEDGER_ABI,

Connect via viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';
import { defineChain } from 'viem';

export const gitchainL2 = defineChain({
  id: 7472,
  name: 'gitchain-l2',
  nativeCurrency: { decimals: 18, name: 'GNULL', symbol: 'GNULL' },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: { http: ['https://rpc.gitchain-l2.xyz'] },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: { name: 'gitchain explorer', url: 'https://explorer.gitchain-l2.xyz' },
  },
});

const client = createPublicClient({ chain: gitchainL2, transport: http() });

Architecture

gitchain-l2 uses the OP Stack (Optimism) with custom modifications for developer-workflow primitives:

• Sequencer: GitNull Protocol Labs (decentralizing Q3 2026)
• Proposer: Posts state roots to Ethereum L1 every 4 hours
• Challenger: Anyone can submit fraud proofs during the 7-day window
• Bridge: Standard OP Stack bridge — deposit/withdraw via gitnull.xyz/network
