infrastructure, the most boring part of any stack, is not immune to drama

1/9 GM Degens, after careful consideration—because it affects you most of all—we’ve decided to share with the community the difficulties we’ve been facing in migrating DEGEN L3 to a new service provider, which has delayed some exciting features. https://paragraph.xyz/@degentokenbase/a-frustrated-migration
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…

My hot take re "too much investment in infra": there's too much investment in *some kinds of infra* and not enough in others, and what's actually going on is, people want to invest in "the casino" but still feel good about themselves, so they invest in the subset of infra that gets spillover profits from the casino.
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

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

Rollups are the new appchains

Development frameworks: /arbitrum Orbit, /optimism OP Stack, /polygon CDK, /zksync ZK Stack

RaaS providers: @conduit, @calderaxyz, @gelatonetwork, AltLayer, Lumoz, Snapchain

Ethereum for all
A few years ago, many said L2s were pointless

Today, people are saying the same thing about L3s

Give it some time – L3s are going to go mainstream
People always talk about the “L2 wars,” but EIP-4844 is a great example of the actual underlying alignment and collaborative spirit among Ethereum L2 teams

Let’s keep scaling Ethereum, together 🤝
great presentation about decentralized infrastructure (gateways on /arweave)

The blobs are bubbling .oO

Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade is officially here, dramatically lowering transaction fees on L2 rollups that use Ethereum Mainnet for data availability

Huge milestone today – congrats to everyone involved!

Congrats to @gnosischain on the successful Dencun upgrade! 🐡

Gnosis can adopt Ethereum hard forks because it runs the same dual-layer stack with a “Beacon chain” consensus layer that supports all the major Ethereum clients

Next stop: Dencun on Ethereum Mainnet this Wednesday!
