Layer 2 scaling solutions are a way to increase the scalability and throughput of blockchain networks like Ethereum, by processing transactions off-chain.

🧵👇
#layer2 #scaling #blockchain #OptimisticRollup #ZK-Rollups #Sidechains #Validium
1/ One popular Layer 2 scaling solution is #OptimisticRollup, which allows for multiple transactions to be bundled and processed together off-chain and then only the final result is posted to the main chain.

@arbitrum @optimismFND @bobanetwork @MetisDAO 2/ Another solution is ZK-Rollups, which uses zero-knowledge proof to bundle multiple transactions together while maintaining the privacy of the transaction data.

DA is a main bottleneck of blockchain scaling

off-chain DA & #Celestia's DA layer address this, while (proto-)danksharding aims to scale $ETH DA

but what if I told you danksharding could already be implemented as middleware secured by $ETH validators?!

ALPHA 🧵 on @eigenlayer Image
1/ first of all, let's quickly recap the whole DA (= data availability) issue

you can find an introduction to the DA problem and an overview of the current DA landscape here (which also covers off-chain DA):

2/ secondly, if you're not familiar with @CelestiaOrg's DA layer, check out the thread below:

2/22. zkSync Overview
@zksync is a zkRollup Layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum developed by @the_matter_labs. It offers low gas and fast transactions, without compromising on security. Image
3/22. Features
- Ultra-low tx fees
- 2k TPS (20k TPS w/ zkPorter)
- Based on Eth security
- Users control of their funds
- No requirement for operational activity to keep the funds safe
- Withdrawals to mainnet in ~10 minutes
- Multisig support
- Permissionless smart contracts Image

0/ Polygon #Avail is a chain-agnostic, modular data availability blockchain built by @0xPolygon. Like @CelestiaOrg, it aims to provide rollups & L1s with a highly scalable DA & consensus layer ✨

A 🧵 on how #Polygon's specialized DA layer works & compares to Celestia (0/34) 👇 Image
@0xPolygon @CelestiaOrg 1/ @0xPolygon has been stealth building Avail since 2020 & has announced the testnet for Q2 2022 in April:

@0xPolygon @CelestiaOrg 2/ Unlike @CelestiaOrg, Polygon #Avail is not built on the #Cosmos SDK and not using Tendermint BFT. However, Avail is also a PoS network, using a nominated Proof of Stake consensus algorithm

0/ Data availability is the primary scaling bottleneck for $ETH-based rollup L2s and a hot topic at the frontier of blockchain scaling. But what is the data availability problem and how is it addressed?

A 🧵 about the DA problem and the current DA landscape (0/XX) Image
1/ The data availability problem refers to the question how peers in a blockchain network can be sure that all the data of a newly proposed block is available
2/ If part of the data is not available, the block might contain malicious transactions which are being hidden by the block producer

【Cipholio Opinions】零知识证明

1/12 ZK目前的热度非常高,在@cipholio@devoteEndlessly 共同举办的活动上分享了下目前 #ZK 的认识和看法。 Image
2/12 零知识证明具有三个重要特性。

1. 完备性:只要证明者拥有相应的知识,那么就能通过验证者的验证。
2. 可靠性:如果证明者没有相应的知识,则无法通过验证者的验证。
3. 零知识性:证明者不会泄露任何有效信息。 Image
3/12 #ZK 并不是近几年才提出的新技术,只是由于效率不高和适合的应用场景不多等因素,ZK在很长一段时间内都停留在理论阶段。区块链的兴起为ZK带来新的发展契机。

#Layer2 Scaling is a concept that is used in the #Ethereum communities with some believing it represents $ETH future.

What does this truly imply? 🤌🏼

How does it operate and why do we need it? 🧐

Today we will deep dive into non-custodial solutions ⬇️
1/ Over the past years, #Ethereum popularity has resulted in a massive rise in transactions and, therefore, #network traffic.

With several users competing for faster #transaction processing, a bidding war occurs, resulting in very expensive gas fees for each user.
Once new scaling solutions arise in the #blockchain space, it is always necessary to consider:

- how much they inherit #Layer1 #security and network characteristics

- if they impose stricter user requirements compared to the underlying #Layer1

1/ Yesterday, I highlighted zkSync.

So it only makes sense that I do the same for @StarkWareLtd and their #Ethereum rollup solutions #L222 #StarkEx and #StarkNet

Another deep-dive thread into one of the projects changing the scaling world 🧵...
2/ First, again, some high-level Pros and Cons
Pros with using Starkware products

- Increased TPS compared to ORs (~9,000+ TPS on Ropsten testnet)
- Faster withdrawals (no challenge period), enabling better capital efficiency and liquidity
- #Validiums (discussed below)
3/ Cons

- Developer UX and porting of dApps from L1 to #L2 is more challenging than OR options
- #Cairo language less popular among developers = less talent pool to build on Starkware
- With Starkware's #Validium option, there's a technical challenge in solving DA problem.
