L2s are the onboarding vehicles to Ethereum's onchain economy, so today we're highlighting some of the biggest L2 updates from the past few weeks.

🧵👇 1/ L2 protocols are scaling solutions that are designed to make transacting on Ethereum super fast, and ultra low-cost for users all over the world.

Most importantly, L2s have the ability to leverage the industry-leading security properties of the Ethereum blockchain.

Here are the 4 steps to get started building in Ethereum, a guest thread by @PatrickAlphaC

1. Understand why
2. Take a course, learn the tools
3. Apply your knowledge
4. Continue to learn & build

Let's unpack this so you can become a monster developer or security researcher 👇 1. Understand why

When things get tough, this is what you'll fall back on to keep going. Be brutally honest, why do you want this?
- "To build the future of finance"
- "A more fair, decentralized, accountable world"
- "I want a better life, and want to be paid well"

Be honest.

Let’s get into it 🧵👇 2/ @Uniswap v4 has begun rolling out across the ecosystem!

v4 brings many new features to Uniswap including 'hooks' which bring modularity and customization to Uniswap that allow for features such as limit orders, custom oracles, dynamic fees and more!
