The chapter discusses the decision to use Ethereum for gas instead of a native token and explores the concept of data availability in relation to Ethereum. Celestia is presented as a scalable solution for making transactions available, and the race between Celestia and full dang sharding is discussed. The chapter also delves into the tradeoff between security and optimization in Ethereum roll-ups and compares the transaction fees on Eclipse and Solana.
Solana on Ethereum? Solana has a virtual machine called the SVM. Proponents say it’s much better than the Ethereum EVM…multi-threaded execution…now it’s coming to Ethereum in the form of an L2.
Today on the show, we brought on CEO & Co-Founder of Eclipse, Neel Somani. Eclipse is not only a new L2 on the scene, it’s also an L2 framework, kind of like the OP Stack. It’s a superchain contender.
This poses some very interesting questions….who wins? Does this kill Solana?
