6. Top 10 Ethereum & L1 trends

While #L222 season is behind us, don't fade mother nature and its cousins !

Copyrights @MessariCrypto #crypto theses 2023!

In 2022 the #ethereum blockain saw a major milestone: #themerge: move from POW to POS

And together with the implementation of EIP 1559 (burn mechanism), $ETH supply shrinked significantly & even went deflationist

If you are here for the Tech only, you can be amazed by the #ethereum #blockchain roadmap provided by @VitalikButerin

Interested in a summary of the above diagram ? Just check this 👇

But now everyone is waiting on the #Shanghai upgrade planned in mar-23 that will allow withdrawal of staked $ETH

What are the niches @VitalikButerin is bullish about ?
- #RWA backed stablecoin
- #defi prediction markets (futures, betting, parimutual)
- Decentralized Identity
- #DAO
- Dapps using that are both off & on-chain

#bridges: Resulted in more than $1.3 billion stolen in 2022
=> cross-chain bridges is not safe
=> Security shall be done on the base layer such as:
- EVM: Ethereum provides security layer to Rollups
- App Chain: Cosmos is the security layer

Interesting take on @solana on this these,the blockchain keeps improving :
- speed & node decentralization
- Mobile accessibility with a dedicated smartphone called "SAGA" where one can run Solana softwares

Saga plans to use @helium, he decentralized phone network focused on 5G

On the @cosmos blockchain side, ATOM 2.0 is on all mouths, despite gov rejected this proposal. If you want more info about it, check this thread done by @TheDeFinvestor

Here are few L1 blockchains launching on #cosmos:
- @SeiNetwork : specific for #defi
- @CantoPublic : Integrated #defi dapps
- @dYdX moving to its own app chain
- @berachain : specific to #defi with new consenus called proof of liquidity

Now, will the layer 2 season will gi towards a new #L223 or will alternative Layer 1 grab market shares ?

Future will tell, but in the coming two years there will be a tremendous choices of blockchains and only few will win to become the NEW standards !
