Base Rollups: An Exciting Opportunity
Base rollups offer a significant opportunity by leveraging Ethereum's existing validator network.
This approach eliminates the need for new rollups to choose between different scaling solutions.

Base Rollup Cost vs. Benefit
Tyco's high gas costs on Ethereum are due to prioritizing speed and security over cost optimization, not solely Ethereum alignment.
The base rollup ecosystem benefits from symbiotic relationships, similar to Visa's network effect.

Bank of America Card Analogy
The Bank of America card’s initial struggles with adoption mirror the current rollup landscape.
Visa's success stemmed from allowing all banks to participate, creating a symbiotic relationship.

For today's episode, were taking a deep dive into based rollups to answer the following question:
Could the next breakthrough in Ethereum scaling come from working with the network rather than around it?
While most rollup solutions build separate consensus layers, an intriguing new approach called based rollups takes a different path – leveraging Ethereum's existing validator network to sequence blocks.
Rather than creating parallel consensus mechanisms, based rollups tap directly into Ethereum's established validator set. This creates a more cohesive ecosystem where rollups share both infrastructure and security.
The Rise team is pioneering this approach with innovations like parallel EVM engines and versioned Merkle trees. Their solution becomes particularly compelling as more based rollups join the ecosystem, and better composability properties are unlocked.
The benefits compound naturally – each new participant contributes to shared security costs and improves liquidity efficiency. This network effect, combined with the emergence of the "GigaGas era," could enable entirely new categories of blockchain applications.
Enjoy.
