# Rome Protocol

> All roads lead to Rome. Compose with Solana, scale with Solana.

Rome helps L2s and dApps use Solana’s speed by offering enshrined services for interoperability, shared sequencing, and EVM deployment on Solana.

Rome Protocol helps developers scale L2s and build cross-chain apps by modularizing Solana into enshrined services. It offers Rome L2s to deploy EVM apps on Solana, an interop SDK for Ethereum–Solana composability, and Nexus for shared/based sequencing. Users can launch L2s, deploy contracts on an EVM environment backed by Solana, and compose transactions across chains with fast finality.

## Products

- [Rome Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Rome_Protocol): Rome Protocol is a system that deploys Ethereum rollups as separate Neon EVM instances on Solana, using Solana as an execution layer and shared sequencer for rollup transactions. (Shared Sequencer, In Development, Main Product)
- [Rome L2 Stack](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Rome_Protocol): Rome L2s is a stack for deploying EVM Layer 2s and EVM dApps on Solana, giving users Solana’s speed and costs while enabling interaction with SPL and ERC‑20 assets. It lets teams choose EVM implementations and run familiar Ethereum tooling to launch customizable environments and access multi‑chain liquidity. (L2, Open Beta, Main Product)
- [Rome SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Rome_Protocol): Rome SDK provides developers with tools for building cross-chain applications with atomic composability between Ethereum and Solana, featuring Remus for cross-rollup atomicity and Romulus for cross-chain atomic transactions. (Developer Tooling, Open Beta)
- [Rome Interop](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Rome_Protocol): Rome Interop is an SDK and finality layer that enables cross‑chain interoperability and atomic transaction composability between Solana and Ethereum. It helps developers build multi‑chain apps that coordinate actions across networks while keeping speed and security. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Open Beta)
- [Nexus](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Rome_Protocol): Nexus is a based sequencing architecture that uses Solana to sequence transactions for Ethereum L2s. It adds fast ordering and atomic composability for Rome L2s and standard composability for non‑Rome L2s while maintaining Ethereum as the settlement layer. (Shared Sequencer, Open Beta)
