Quick Reads and Hot Links Covering the People and Projects Who Are Scaling Ethereum
Dear Frens,
In the ongoing quest for blockchain scalability and efficiency, Layer 2 solutions continue to demonstrate their potential, with notable developments such as Polygon Nightfall, zkSync, Optimistic Rollups, and sidechains like Polygon PoS and XDai/Gnosis. However, these solutions have also introduced new security challenges, which are being addressed through rigorous audits, testnets, and the adoption of best practices like multi-audit firms and transparent governance.
In this week's editorial, we continue from where we left off in the previous issue, shedding more light on Vitalik Buterin's proposed milestones for rollup maturity, which he categorized into three stages: full training wheels, limited training wheels, and no training wheels. This framework serves as a valuable tool for evaluating the decentralization progress of rollups.
As the Layer 2 ecosystem continues to evolve, it's essential to stay informed about the latest developments, proposals, and projects to better understand the future of Ethereum's scalability and efficiency. Read on as we bring to you the latest stats, proposals, project watch, ecosystem updates, and more from around the world of Ethereum’s Layer 2s.
