πŸš€βœ¨ Layer 2 Landscape #52 βœ¨πŸš€
----------------------------------------

(1/29) Its been a pretty *based* week for Layer 2, if you catch my drift! With the @coinbase announcement, debate around prover latency, & sequencer drama, & more, we've had our hands full! πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
(2/29) Can you settle a rollup on two chains? πŸ€” Consensus is no, based on how we likely define "settlement". What do you think?
(3/29) @stonecoldpat0 released "Tiers of Transaction Finality for Rollups." Rollups separate the process of ordering txs from execution to provide tiers of finality, & there's confusion about what we mean when we say "finality." Let's clear things up! πŸ‘€
(4/29) @aeyakovenko posits sequential state deps mean that inevitably a zk prover falls further & further behind, even w/ parallelization. 🀯 This discounts various ways we can use parallelization & batching, & is too pessimistic. What do you think?
(5/29) @toghrulmaharram argues that the prover delay argument made by @aeyakovenko misses the beauty of how provers can be architected within a rollup system. There are many optimizations that can address the prover delay concern. πŸ‘€
(6/29) @jbaylina jumped in to clarify that the prover is not a bottleneck to #zkrollup scalability! Just spin up more provers in parallel as needed! ✨
(7/29) @EclipseFND released a handy explanation of "sovereign rollups." There are truly tradeoffs everywhere, but there definitely could be situations where a sovereign rollup meets the needs of devs and users alike! πŸ‘€ What do you think?
(8/29) The @eigenlayer whitepaper came out this week and we've got lots of discussion around what it means for Rollups! Here's @0xdoug asking if EigenLayer will make Rollups irrelevant (spoiler: it will not!).
(9/29) Ethereum core devs agreed to ban blobless 4844 transactions to start, which will simplify clients' initial implementation. ✨
(10/29) I've always been impressed with the progress and openness around the development of @Scroll_ZKP.

@yezhang1998 released a πŸ”₯ thread that really helps to explain why this is one of the most exciting and responsible projects in the rollup space!
(11/29) @bobanetwork continues to grow its ecosystem! πŸš€ @Layer2_Master shared a rundown of interesting projects worth checking out.
(12/29) @CelestiaOrg announced RollKit, which allows devs to customize rollups & plug in arbitrary data availability and execution layers. 🀯 Long-term vision to provide devs w/ variety of options so they can easily plug-in, switch, & replace features. ✨
(13/29) @MetaMask Bridges now supports @arbitrum πŸ”΅ and @optimismFND πŸ”΄! MetaMask Bridges provide a seamless bridge aggregator experience right from your wallet. Love seeing ecosystem support for our growing Layer 2 world! πŸ’•
(14/29) @ClassLambda shared their progress on Lambdaworks, a library for people interested in learning how to do SNARKs and other cryptographic stuff! πŸ‘€βœ¨
(15/29) @coinbase announced @BuildOnBase, a Layer 2 Rollup that is a fork of Optimism! πŸŽ‰ Base will be the onchain home for Coinbase, giving the company entry into the DeFi world similar to BSC's impact on Binance. A major boost to the L2 narrative! πŸš€
(16/29) @optimismFND announced it's Superchain plans, toward a unified network of Layer 2s! πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€
(17/29) Need a TL;DR on @optimismFND's Superchain? I wrote a little 🧡 for you! 😍
(18/29) @gelatonetwork released a guide to @optimismFND's Bedrock! πŸ”₯ This modular approach to Rollups is a big deal and if you haven't heard of it before, here is a chance to get caught up!
(19/29) @liamihorne broke down some key aspects of why the core principles of @optimismFND are supported by @BuildOnBase.

Commitment to open source, to collaboration, to decentralization, and to Ethereum are the key pillars to consider! LFG!!! πŸ”΅
(20/29) @henrlihenrli shared some previously unshared videos about StarkNet! There is some serious alpha in these. Highly recommend checking out this 🧡 and getting Stark-pilled! ❀️
(21/29) @nethermindeth wants to teach you how to audit #Starknet smart contracts! πŸ€“ Check out their introduction to Horus, their open-source formal verification tool!
(22/29) @gluk64 dives into the rollup security trilemma & how @ZKync approaches the very real set of rollup security considerations. My favorite nugget of wisdom is "Security requires redundant multi-layered fault-tolerance. Defense in depth." πŸ€”
(23/29) @camiinthisthang asked when and how L2 <> L2 bridging might work, leading to lots of interesting opinions! The tl;dr is that there are several solutions in progress, but each comes with its own technical considerations and security assumptions.
(24/29) The ConsenSys zk-EVM is now integrated into @HopProtocol's testnet site ! πŸŽ‰ Bridge away to try out the newest zkEVM competitor on the scene! 😍
(25/29) @0xDinoEggs shared his vision that proofs (zk or optimistic) will simply be implementation details in the future. I wonder how far out this exciting future is based on the current state of things. πŸ€” What do you think?
(26/29) @0xcuriousapple's question about MEV extraction in Layer 2 turned out to be quite prescient! See my next couple of tweets for the tea! 🍡
(27/29)🍿 Drama unfolding in the @arbitrum & @FlashBots discords! Arbitrum devs proposed PoW mechanism to disincentivize sybil attacks by MEV searchers on the sequencer relay. Concerns: wasteful & won't accrue value to the protocol/ecosystem.
(28/29) @snoopy_mev dives into the Arbitrum flashbots drama 🍿 and shares the tea 🍡 so you can be in the know! πŸ‘€

πŸš€βœ¨ Layer 2 Landscape #24 βœ¨πŸš€
----------------------------------------

(1/14) Hi there! I've been busy thinking through ways I can fight the patriarchy, but we just can't ignore the #Layer2 siren call, can we? Here's your weekly πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡!
(2/14) @MetaMask announced they'll soon be rolling out a #Layer2 onramp for buying crypto on @Arbitrum and @OptimismPBC. Fantastic development for people who want an on-ramp that doesn't require a centralized exchange or a bridge!
(3/14) #Norway is embracing the #Ethereum #Layer2, @arbitrum to build a cap tables platform for unlisted companies. Amazing!

(2/22) @argentHQ did some research on ZK rollups so you don't have to. Check out this 🧡with some ZK rollup basics!
(3/22) There's a bit of a disagreement going on about whether Celestiums are similar to Layer 2 rollups. I agree with @dankrad that the security guarantees of Celestiums are not comparable. What do you think?
