Amazing to see so many major L2s now at stage 1.The next goal we should shoot for is, in my view, fast (<1h) withdrawal times, enabled by validity (aka ZK) proof systems.I consider this even more important than stage 2.Fast withdrawal times are important because waiting a week to withdraw is simply far too long for people, and even for intent-based bridging (eg. ERC-7683), the cost of capital becomes too high if the liquidity provider has to wait a week. This creates large incentives to instead use solution ...

RT itamar (@itamarl)We've come a long way as an industry.And I'm excited to bring back free transactions, knowing that this time, I'll sleep like a baby.We're getting close to a fully onchain bank, but this time, on a scalable and cheap L2. https://t.co/zCaztH0a6G ...

RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)MAKE L2 TOKENS GREAT AGAIN!L2 tokens are non-investible: low fee generation, no fee sharing, and governance is overvalued.Layer 2s should acquire as much $ETH as possible.It's the true Ethereum x L2 alignment:- L2 tokens act like speculative assets akin to TradFi Crypto Treasury Company stocks- They manage $ETH treasury, making governance meaningful- L2 tokens trade with $ETH price, aligning incentives but can trade at ETH reserve's premium.Current Layer 2 reserves are abysmal: A ...

Technology & Infrastructure - The rise of CLOB-specific L2s indicates a trend towards <100ms block times, verifiable execution, and privacy by default in crypto infrastructure [1] - The @zksync stack is equipped with Airbender for sub-second proofs, Prividium for private matching, and Elastic Network for custom chains and shared liquidity [1] - Several CLOB-specific L2s, including @bulletxyz_, @hibachi_xyz, and @Lighter_xyz, utilize ZK technology [1] - A new class of applications is emerging, characterized by <100ms blocktimes and nearly unlimited throughput with ZK [1] - ZK technology enables nearly unlimited throughput, mitigating congestion [1]

Surprised (and also impressed?) to see 2 Polkadot parachains in the top 10 for 365d fee generation among L2’s (yes I know the DOT maxis will say parachains aren’t technically L2’s)Mythos at #4 is looking really strong. I think the majority of that is likely powered by the CSGO skins market, but it’s hard to look at that number and the recent success of FIFA Rivals and not put them in the conversation for top gaming chain.Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas):What's the upside for L2 tokens?Fee sharing?Even if they turn ...
