1/ Created to scale throughput, rollups continue to settle on monolithic L1s like @ethereum — however, as usage increases, will rollups remain cheap to use?

Let’s explore Rollups: Execution Through the Modular Lens in this report from @eshita. #ModularDesignSeries 🧵
2/ Rollups allow for scalability on the L1 by batching transactions from the L1 and executing them on an L2, output is sent back to the L1.

The type of rollup can be classified by how transactions are validated and where data availability (DA) takes place.
3/ Top-down, rollups can be separated by whether they post validated proofs on a smart contract settlement layer or not.

Settlement provides objective finality that the processed transactions are valid and ordered correctly.
4/ There are two main categories: validity and fraud proofs.

+Validity Proof Rollups
+Fraud Proof Rollups

Rollups share @ethereum for gas and are at risk of experiencing the same fate as congested L1s, however a single system can have more than one rollup.
5/ Modular rollups make settlement optional.

Sovereign rollups were conceptualized when @CelestiaOrg was introduced, which is a modular data availability and consensus layer.

Sovereign rollups do not use a monolithic L1 to settle on; rather, they settle on their own.
6/ Recently, @arbitrum saw a spike in gas fees due to its rollout of the Odyssey program.

At one point, the price of a single swap reached $6.19 compared to $5.36 on @ethereum.

This event questioned the ability of Arbitrum to cheaply scale throughput.
7/ Specialized settlement layers and more VM variety will be developed as we approach @ethereum's upgrade.

Learn more about Rollups: Execution Through the Modular Lens in the full Pro report from @eshita and continue to follow the #ModularDesignSeries.

1/ Gaming guilds may uncover growth opportunities for different ecosystems during the current down market.

In this thread, we will analyze the @MeritCircle_IO guild to develop a framework for analyzing other gaming guilds and their potential impact. Image
2/ Crypto games are evolving to have a wide range of gameplay and economic models.

As the scope of Web3 gaming grows in complexity, guilds will evolve to do more than simply fronting startup resources — they will play an active role in both player and game development.
3/ @MeritCircle_IO exemplifies this new guild structure.

It employs a range of for-profit strategies that include player and game development, direct game investments, active consulting roles for games, and more. Image

1/ This report dives deep into @Filecoin's Q2 presenting a performance analysis, qualitative analysis and Filecoin's roadmap moving forward.

Let’s explore the State of @Filecoin's Q2 2022 in this report from @tech_metrics & @Old_Samster. 🧵 Image
2/ Relying on centralized data storage has a major shortcoming: it’s hard to verify data integrity.

@Filecoin is a peer-to-peer version of @awscloud that verifies the storage of data on a regular basis.

To achieve this, Filecoin uses storage deals on an open marketplace.
3/ The @Filecoin network experienced a 264% growth in protocol revenue QoQ.

It was the first positive quarter in protocol revenue growth in five quarters.

However, it’s still a whopping 74% lower on a year-over-year basis. Image

1/ On Jul. 7, 2022, @AaveAave protocol introduced $GHO to the Aave community.

$GHO is an Aave native multi-collateral backed stablecoin, pegged to USD.

Let’s explore @AaveAave's Stablecoin: $GHO in this Governor Note from @raholloway & @___TomasM. 🧵 Image
2/ To mint $GHO, users must supply collateral on @AaveAave.

Whenever the user repays their $GHO loan, the $GHO paid is burned, and the user’s asset is returned.

Two strategic mechanisms have been introduced along with $GHO:

+stkAAVE Discount Strategy
+Facilitators
3/ The Discount Strategy mechanism allows users contributing to the Safety Staking Module (stkAAVE holders) to borrow GHO at a discounted rate.

The initial discounted rate will be set to 2% but may be adjusted via Aave governance.
