In early 2025, Quicknode partnered with Fuse to launch Ember L2, a new business-focused Layer-2 blockchain built using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK) and powered by Quicknode’s Rollups-as-a-Service. This strategic collaboration combined Fuse’s user-centric Web3 payments platform with Quicknode’s enterprise-grade infrastructure, resulting in a highly scalable L2 tailored for real-world payments. The Ember network is designed to enable seamless payment processing, enhanced scalability, and optimized access to DeFi solutions for businesses.
Challenges
Extreme performance & reliability
Ember L2 needed instant finality (no waiting on confirmations), ultra-low fees, and near-perfect uptime to support real-world payment use cases from day one.
Massive throughput demands
Achieving 10× faster transaction finality and handling high TPS without bottlenecks required infrastructure that could scale linearly under peak load.
Global low-latency access
Businesses and end-users worldwide demanded sub-100 ms response times even during traffic spikes.
Seamless integration
Fuse needed REST/WebSocket RPC plus first-class SDK support to minimize onboarding friction for developers.
Enterprise-grade SLAs & support
Real-world business adoption required “always-on” availability, rapid incident response, and clear service guarantees.
Solutions
Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS)
Quicknode provided a custom zkEVM rollup architecture (built on Polygon’s CDK), offloading Fuse’s infrastructure to a fully managed platform.
Dedicated, globally distributed RPC endpoints
Optimized Ember L2 nodes were spun up in multiple regions with automatic request routing to the nearest healthy endpoint for lowest latency.
Auto-scaling, multi-cloud infrastructure
Traffic-driven scaling with built-in failover ensured seamless capacity growth and maintained 99.99% uptime SLAs.
Comprehensive SDKs & docs
Out-of-the-box code examples (cURL, JS, Python, Ruby, Web3-libs) and guides enabled teams to integrate Ember L2 RPC in minutes.
Enterprise support & SLAs
24/7 global support with sub-15 min critical-issue response and custom SLAs guaranteed rapid issue resolution.
