🥧 Lots of noise around the new TPS ATH!
But how can a ZK rollup sustain 5,000+ TPS -
while posting <100 MB/day to Ethereum blobs?
For context: Base does ~150 TPS and posts ~2 GB/day.
@Lighter_xyz's trick? App chain + state diffs.
🔹 Their custom app chain architecture (optimized for trading) lets them minimize what data hits Ethereum.
Many txs are order opens/cancels - they don’t touch state, so no need to post them on L1.
🔸 And what about withdrawals if the chain goes down?
You’re covered. All necessary state diffs and ZK proofs are still available for regular exits or through the escape hatches in case
