Ethereum isn't just a blockchain - it's where everything happens. The stage where the onchain future unfolds.

Although there's been some uncertainty and doubt about its trajectory, the Shape team aren't phased. We're unrelenting Ethereum maxis, and it's clear the fundamentals are up only.

Shape is here to help scale Ethereum's vision of an open meritocracy, to be where builders experiment, and to make onchain fun again. Shape isn't just another L2 - it's a home for dreamers, an answer to corporate overstep, and a catalyst for decentralization.

Built different

Many protocols claim their priority is scaling Ethereum, but more often than not they get lost in pursuit of profit. That is not Shape; we will not sacrifice integrity for revenue. We will stick to our belief in a future where innovation, decentralization, and community triumph over short-term business interests and opportunistic gains.

Shape is a public good. A transparent network where the rewards generated by innovation are awarded back to the innovators.

Rewarding Shapers

Shape uses "Gasback" to give 80% of the L2 fees directly back to builders, guaranteeing success is rewarded at the network level. You can get an idea of how much you could earn here.

For the remaining 20%, 15% goes to the Optimism Collective to fund other public goods. The final 5% goes to help cover the network's infra and development costs, but the plan is to reduce this to 0 so we can give even more back to the space.

Gasback is Shape's promise that community will always come first. We chose principles over profit from day 1, as our drive is the unparalleled success of crypto, of Ethereum, and of every onchain human.
