Episode notes
L1 Precompile for Security
- Instead of individual fraud proofs, native rollups utilize a Layer 1 precompile for verification.
- This allows rollups like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base to leverage L1 security.
Native Rollups as a Solution
- Native rollups aim to solve the problem of non-homogeneous rollups.
- They integrate rollup security directly into Layer 1, enhancing trust and composability.
L2s Not Ethereum
- Different rollups have different security assumptions and create competing standards.
- This has led to the perception that layer-2 solutions aren't truly Ethereum.
