Based Rollups: A Promising Solution
- Based rollups promise to solve Ethereum's fragmentation and value accrual issues.
- They aim to unify liquidity and secure greater fees for ETH validators.
Rollup Progress and Challenges
- Rollups have successfully reduced fees and improved security through fraud and validity proofs.
- However, they've introduced fragmentation, impacting composability and network effects.
Ethereum's Order of Operations
- Creating the fragmentation problem with multiple rollups was a necessary step.
- Now, Ethereum is in the interoperability phase, filling the gaps and enhancing network effects.
