Pivotal is an Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain, built on the Optimism Stack and part of the Superchain collective. Pivotal aims to mainstream Web3 adoption through immersive streaming and entertainment.
Pivotal's infrastructure consists of a low-latency streaming engine, TV distribution, and a decentralised cloud delivery network.
Pivotal is seeded from BoltOS.ai, and functions as an independent protocol.
Pivotal uses ETH as its default gas token, and will launch a value accrual token (PLUS) for staking, liquidity concentration, and incentives for the community
Our L2 infrastructure includes a low latency streaming engine, a global network of relay servers, a decentralised cloud delivery network, and global distribution across millions of TVs.
Ethereum Layer 2 Blockchain powered by Optimism's OP Stack - low transaction fees, interoperable, and scalable.
10 million TVs, powered by Hisense Group and the VIDAA Operating System
1s low-latency streaming engine, battle-tested even in minimal bandwidth environments
380,000 streaming minutes/month
10+ relay servers, strategically placed worldwide for optimal content delivery and user experience
Decentralised cloud delivery network by nes.tech (Coming Soon)
Pivotal is incubated by BoltOS, which gives developers and creators on Pivotal access to a wider distribution network of TVs, blue chip partners, and battle-tested streaming technology from Day 1
Rather than launch a standalone blockchain, Pivotal is using Optimism’s modular & open-source blueprint for creating an interoperable and scalable blockchain.
$0.06 to send ETH, $0.11 to swap ETH - one of the lowest fee L2 chains
The goal of Pivotal is to function as an open ecosystem where developers & enterprises globally can build incredible new onchain tools & products.
Featured Pivotal Tools
Pivotal runs its settlement layer on top of Optimism's OP Stack, with an eventual goal to fit into Optimism's vision of being a key part of Optimism Superchain.

AMM - PivotalSwap
Staking - PivotalStake
Pivotal uses its value accrual token PLUS in 3 key roles:
As a settlement asset to concentrate liquidity
Provide security (as a means for driving economic security and governance)
Incentives (for rewards, fees and gas)
Pivotal's infrastructure was created via the BoltOS orbit of technology and business partnerships. Pivotal makes it easy to build decentralised apps with access to BoltOS technology, users, and tools, with added scalability and bridging with the wider crypto economy.
