πŸš€βœ¨ Layer 2 Landscape #53 βœ¨πŸš€
----------------------------------------

(1/35)πŸ‘‹ What a crazy couple weeks, let alone this weekend's SVB and $USDC madness! Here's a 🧡 on the Layer 2 space that might help distract you with how optimistic and exciting the Ethereum space is! πŸ‘‡ (2/35) For those of us out there without math PhDs, it's so important for the giga-🧠 folks to hold cryptographic primitives to account and assess their security. Thanks for pointing out the differences between PlonK and StarkWare proofs!

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?

----------------------------------------

(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!

(1/12) Hi there! πŸ‘‹ We've all been a bit distracted by the $UST & $LUNA implosion and the overall bearishness in the market, but the #Layer2 #Ethereum space never sleeps! Here's are some highlights from this week! πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ (2/12) @epolynya made a plea to "remove plutocracies from even the first line of defence, and replace them with more democratic systems" in blockchain architecture:

(1/16) It's Friday! You know that means I have a 🧡 for you on this week's #Ethereum #Layer2 happenings! #L222 is truly flourishing. Enjoy! πŸ‘‡ (2/16) The bridge πŸŒ‰ design space is heating up! Bridges are necessary but also a potentially lucrative attack vector. Take a look at @bkiepuszewski's excellent 🧡on risk frameworks for considering #Layer2 bridges:

(1/14) Your weekly thread on #l222 is here! The #Ethereum #Layer2 space is growing at a breakneck speed, so you'll find that my threads will focus on educational materials and protocol updates primarily, to provide the best signal to noise ratio. Here we go! πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ (2/14) @BanklessHQ killing it with the #Layer2 content! Want to read more about the coming Layer 2 token landscape, from token economics to how L2 tokens could affect the price of #Ethereum? Check out the writeup here:

1/ What a week! #L222 is in full swing and this thread is long! Buckle up for a ride through the #Layer2 #Ethereum happenings this week! πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅ 2/ @l2beatcom wants to launch a #Layer2 index token, and is seeking community feedback. No question in my mind that L2 tokens will be big this year, so this is one to watch. Pretty cool! gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-launch-t…

1/ Feeling whiplash as #L222 gets started with a rush of news about and from various #Ethereum #Layer2 protocols? Here's a helpful thread about what's happened this week: 🧡 2/ This week, the Polygon network struggled under the weight of the @sunflowerfarmz game, with Polygon users & devs complaining about high gas fees & intermittent issues accessing the network. Cute game, but can the devs make their code more efficient?

1/ Had an interesting chat with @DavidAKillen today and I think we concluded that a new web3 dev career track is emerging -- the Layer 2 Developer.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ 2/ While Optimistic #rollups are similar enough to #Ethereum that special expertise is unnecessary,#ZKRollups and hybrid solutions will change that!
