Discussions about blockchain infrastructure and tooling

Hey just would like to ask if you want to angel in my parallelised slot machine on the 2nd floor

It’s revolutionary infrastructure, let’s lots of people use it at the same time to
 ya know

In the future, no user will ever need to touch Ethereum L1 to enter the onchain cryptoeconomy

There will be hundreds of generalized L2s with direct CEX integrations and thousands of specialized L3s that are world-class consumer experiences
Rollups are not a point-in-time snapshot of a framework, they require continuous maintenance, hardening, and improvements

@conduit successfully upgraded the first Orbit L2 to post blobs on Ethereum
The first to become a Stage 1 rollup with fraud proofs and now almost the first to become a Stage 2 rollup with permissionless validation

Completely decentralized and permissionless rollups will be a reality soon via /arbitrum https://docs.arbitrum.io/bold/bold-gentle-introduction
Custom opcodes, instructions, and gas tokens for the EVM

Incredible work from the Reth team

L2s/L3s make a lot of sense if apps/brands completely abstract away wallets with embedded tech

Users sign up with email → onramp directly to the L2/L3 → wallet magically appears

We have to make it so that users do not know or care what an L2/L3 is

The second users have to bridge from L1 to L2 to L3, it’s over
The impact of EIP-4844 has been huge

4844 reduced L1 data availability costs drastically

L2 execution is now the bottleneck, and fees on @base are rising because of that, not because of blobs getting saturated

Now we are going to scale L2 execution by many orders of magnitude

One step at a time, young padawan
The growing L3 landscape

/arbitrum: Xai, Syndr, Song Protocol, RARI Chain, Meliora, Sanko Chain, Treasure Infinity Chains, Muster Network, Polychain, Deri Protocol, OwnChain, NavyAI

/base: Syndicate Frame Chain, Gold, Stack, Gotchichain

Multirollup: zkLink Nova
Not a controversial take from the founder of @drip

The freedom to modify your own chain to match business needs and the flexibility to customize it in whatever way you see fit is a huge unlock for applications that achieve scale

Rollups are eating the world
