Lumio is the first optimistic rollup to bring together the ecosystems of Ethereum and Aptos. It is EVM-compatible, built using the OP Stack, and settles on Ethereum – all the while leveraging the safety and efficiency of Move VM, Aptos’ virtual machine.
Lumio makes it easy to migrate dApps from Ethereum to Aptos, to experience EVM at the speed of Move VM. and even to enable cross-VM calls. Our vision is to interconnect liquidity across multiple chains – at top speed and at the lowest cost possible.
Lumio is designed to be both execution and settlement layer agnostic, so it can support many virtual machines and L1/L2 networks: Ethereum, Aptos, Optimism, Avalanche, zkSync, etc.
The best of both worlds: familiar Ethereum tools supercharged with the speed and security of Move VM. Deploy on any of the two networks easily using Aptos CLI or any EVM-compatible CLI.
Lumio is live in Pontem Wallet, MetaMask (EVM only), and Petra (Move VM only). Try the L2 with Pontem Wallet and Liquidswap, bridge ETH, or check out the docs and deploy your code!
Deploy your project on the EVM part of Lumio with Hardhat and MetaMask – or on Move VM with our easy-to-use IDE plugin.

Lumio is one of the few L2s to include a Cross VM contract in its genesis block: developers can use smart contracts to enable VM calls between EVM and Move VM. The default gas coin for both VMs is ETH. This opens up possibilities for building multichain dApps that combine the best of Solidity and Move.
Pontem L2 leverages Move – a smart contract language that overcomes the security limitations of Solidity and Rust. Thanks to the implementation of MoveVM, Lumio offers unprecedented resistance to hacks, formal verification, and fast performance.
Lumio leverages the best of Optimism and its Rust implementation – the most technologically advanced among optimistic rollups. In the next phase, we plan to upgrade Pontem L2 to our own stack while also integrating it with Superchain.
