General-purpose zk-Rollup is the most promising scaling solution for Ethereum today, and we consider the “zkEVM” approach supporting native bytecode verification to be the holy grail. In our 1st post of the series, we will attempt to explain why. Article:

A true zkEVM should respect the EVM specification as defined in the Ethereum yellow paper. The term "zkEVM" shouldn't be abused. Compiler+zkVM falls into another category -- language compatible with efficient prover Amazing work from the Consensys team👇

My slightly controversial prediction about 4844: 1) Blob will be 3-5x cheaper than calldata (the number comes from Goerli testnet), Polymarket doesn’t have big enough counter party. Hopefully, there won’t be blob-inscription to further compete with Rollups 😂 2) It’s super

Polymarket is predicting that blobs (~125 kB) will cost ~0.001 ETH. Today, 125 kB calldata costs ~30 gwei per gas * 16 gas per byte * 125000 gas ~= 0.06 ETH And if you think polymarket's guess that blobs will be 60x cheaper is over-optimistic, you can use the market to hedge!

Some unpopular facts: Rollup scalability is still bottlenecked by DA, it hasn't been solved unless we have some DAS (real Danksharding) to scale the bandwidth. 4844 can make transactions cheaper but it can't really improve the throughput. Imagine 0.0001$ tx but still 1000 TPS

@pcaversaccio Tbf, it’s only delaying finality to see if it’s related to the security of the protocol, not halting the chain, the chain always function as normal. Even with the delay, the finality is within a very normal range (~30min). If you look at any other layer 2s, Scroll is the only

Come and become earlier builders on Scroll! It’s super cool! 🤩🤩🤩 Different from the traditional NFT, it’s not an image stored off chain, it’s fully on-chain (similar to uniswap v3, but it’s all from polynomials). BUILD!!! 🤓

Fully agree, everyone has a long way to go and needs multiple iterations of zkEVM. Many fundamental problems haven't been really solved regardless of how aggressively one chooses to approach the mainnet. Learn from others, be transparent, and keep building 🫡

In all seriousness we are all still small. Polygon has consistently pushed the boundaries on both what their zk teams achieved in the form of product, and the marketing team achieved in terms of gaining popular mindshare. We have a lot to learn across the board.

@davidsrz @0xPolygonID We don't have an "identity effort" 😆 Your failure to get it illustrates a profound difference between us. @zksync is based on Ethereum's philosophy of subtraction. We're doing one thing only: solving scalability, and welcome all projects as equal partners to build other stuff.

In my opinion as an observer, one of the reasons why Arbitrum has been successful to date is that the ecosystem did not pick a favourite and remained credibly neutral. Without favourites, it allows anyone to feel like they can deploy on the chain and compete as an equal.
