There has been a lot of talk about high gas fees on Ethereum, but not enough about layer 2.

These are some crazy platforms that have the ability to scale ETH 100-1000x.

& the best part about all of this? 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.

Here are some of my favorite… (1/x)
1. Optimistic Ethereum

Optimism is a rollup which can greatly reduce transaction times & fees on ETH by a magnitude of 100x+

It does so by running computations off-chain, bundling tx data in batches then writing to the main chain in the form of calldata

Check it out:
2. Arbitrum One

Arbitrum is also an optimistic rollup, minimizing computation and batching txs on the main chain to reduce gas costs.

The network can scale up to 40 thousand transactions per second, while offering the same security as Ethereum.
3. zkSync

zkSync is an EVM-compatible zero knowledge proof rollup that may be the 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 for ETH scaling.

zk rollups utilize powerful cryptographic proofs to verify txs in batches on ETH.

This is useful, as proofs can be submitted by anyone to withdraw to L1 instantly
4. Loopring

Loopring features a unique layer two ecosystem for trading various tokens, making payments, and more with very little fees.

It is built for enterprises, utilizing zkproof technology.

They are building counterfactual wallets to help onboard users to L2 without gas!
5. Hop

My personal favorite on this list, Hop Protocol allows for simple and quick swapping of ETH across any Optimistic rollup.

You can even avoid the wait period for optimistic bridges by using Hop instead!

It has a Uniswap-esque interface to make this all possible.
Here are the top layer two scaling networks for Ethereum visualized in detail…

Let’s move some of that demand for block space to L2 - what do you say? 🥐

Donald Trump is coming for crypto in a very big way.

I looked at all of his most recent statements on crypto & found some eye-opening things.

Let’s discuss… 👀 Image
Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, began his venture into crypto with Ethereum back in December of 2022.

Here, he launched a digital trading card collection with 45,000 NFTs on Polygon.

The NFTs offered exclusive access to a variety of amenities.
The 45,000 NFTs quickly sold out, giving President Trump’s wallet over $4M in crypto.

Donald Trump would later go on to host a handful of events with those who hold the NFT.

Dinner with Trump, golfing at Mar-A-Lago, etc. Image

are you following the breadcrumbs from coinbase?

many millionaires will be made on base this cycle.

if you don’t quite get it yet, you will soon…
the number one crypto exchange in the United States is Coinbase, with no debate.

it consistently ranks top 25 in the app store for finance, with 50M+ registered users.

but this isn’t what makes base so interesting… Image
there are a combination of factors paving the way for base to become a leader in the L2 ecosystem.

to start, eip-4844.

eip-4844 has tremendously lowered tx fees. tx fees on base are now just a fraction of what they were before thanks to the upgrade.

hello frens.

if you’re reading this, you just made it through one of the longest crypto bear markets in history.

are you prepared to see something we’ve never seen before?

let’s compare to 2021.
a popular top signal is when coinbase hits #1 on the app store charts.

this has only happened twice in history:

first on December 7th, 2017 - when btc was $17,249

then on May 10th, 2021 - when btc was $58,213

Today, btc is $54,575 and coinbase sits all the way at rank #422.
okay, cool. how about crypto activity on reddit?

some analysis can show just how far we are from peak hype:

in 2021, r/cryptocurrency averaged hundreds of thousands of posts a day.

in 2024, r/cryptocurrency averages just a couple thousand of posts a day.

big difference.
