RT ALEX | ZKsync ∎ (@gluk64)Nature is healing. Long-term success requires real value creation.This makes L2 a strictly better infra choice over L1 if you need a chain:1. Faster start2. Lower cost with higher security (no block rewards)3. Direct access to Ethereum liquidity (with @zksync Atlas stack) ...

fuel network processing parallel transactions on mainnet with o2's orderbook hitting sub-10ms confirmations. no token yet, $81.5m raised, john adler who invented optimistic rollups running it. arbitrum worth $2.9b, its apps combined worth $800m. infrastructure captures 3.6x the value of applications built on it. fuel is the first l2 delivering cex performance without token farming ...

I've been thinking about this:If you had to guess, how many new chains (L1s + L2s) were launched this year? ...

"We see a lot of demand for L2s from banks, fintechs and enterprises but most can't built on a public chain due to privacy and compliance reasons"@gluk64, at the recent @EFDevcon, commenting on Ethereum's L2 roadmap and the PMF signs of specialized chains. https://t.co/IKmFYcJS4z ...

succinct sp1 just collapsed l2 withdrawal times from 7 days to hours. katana l2 already integrated it. conduit partnered to solve the withdrawal lockup problem. 99.7% real-time ethereum block verification with 16 gpus instead of 160. the infrastructure blocking $100b+ of institutional l2 adoption just got solved. ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)The transactions have gone from L1 to the L2s, because of the success of the L2s, which haven't needed legible-sized data buckets on L1 to be so remarkably successful.To people putting legible data on Bitcoin, and to those who have lobbied for legible-sized buckets in which to do this, and against fixing the bugs that allow them to more readily do this, and have thereby made operating Bitcoin nodes riskier, I say quite the opposite of thank you. I say GET THE FUCK OFF BITCOIN.Rug ...
