2/ “A rollup is said to be based, or L1-sequenced, when its sequencing is driven by the base L1. More concretely, a based rollup is one where the next L1 proposer may, in collaboration with L1 searchers and builders, permissionlessly include the next rollup block as part of the next L1 block.” – Justin Drake
3/ Based Sequencing allows for
- liveness and decentralization of the Ethereum network, ensuring reliability without relying on a single point of failure.
- no need to operate a dedicated sequencer.
- 100ms execution due to preconfirmations
- Economic alignment with the L1, creating new revenue opportunities for existing validators through non-extractive MEV
$ARB has had a great rally but is still fundamentally undervalued
Trades at a fraction of Sui, Avax, Tron, etc but has them beat on volume and TVL by multiples (even excluding HL activity)
There is a large segment of allocators (institutions) that don't invest in memes and pay attention to these metrics
Stylus which allows devs to build using Rust/C++, gaming deployments/Animechain and ongoing interop research look to be the biggest drivers of growth going forward
Also, Robinhood has partnered with Arbitrum for swaps so I don’t think a listing would be unlikely
It’s counterintuitive, but the best tokenomic design for a project (and retail) is to not have investor lock ups and have as much tokens to be as circulating as possible on Day 1 (except team, treasury)
One year cliff and 3-4 year vests are a poor standard that came about from a misunderstanding of capital markets and lazy copy pasting from prior projects
In reality, long vests have little impact on investor contribution post TGE. Good investors will be supportive whether tokens are vesting or not. Opposite for passive investors
The standard needs to change
I wrote about why low float high FDV was bad in 2021. Back then projects started to copy the Serum model of 1% circulating - I pushed that projects should have at very minimum 15-20% circulating on TGE. Now I believe even that is too low. The standard should be 65-75%+
We've given a lot of this advice to new founders, but its tough because you are fighting against bad tokenomics advice from lawyers that misinterpret securities law and other VCs that try to push the status quo
But talk to any past founder and most will tell you that vesting + low float designs are a mistake and result in major headaches down the line
No knowledge of anything actually happening but combination of the below leading me to bet that there’s some interesting developments upcoming for $SUI
1. Raoul pal shill thread while he sits on advisory board 2. Large OTC bids 3. Relatively strong holdership through big unlocks 4. Aggressive price action with no pullback 5. Big recent performance upgrade with Mysiceti potentially allowing for interesting new apps
Many people commenting that they are giving grants to people to shill. If true, this is bullish
Potential speculation into Korea blockchain week announcement
$PEPE is extremely bullish from a Holderbase perspective since they went through a handful of serious FUD events to leave only Diamond hands.
Insider sniping FUD, Multisig dump, Pepe fork. The combined efforts of these events was the definition of bullish selling. Anyone left is just not really selling
