Episode notes
Ethereum's L2 Services
- Ethereum offers L2s four services: settlement (required), data availability, sequencing, and execution (optional).
- Native rollups integrate with Ethereum for simpler operations and better security using based sequencing.
Native Rollup Advantages
- Native rollups aim to fix EVM incompatibility issues, security council reliance, single threading, and gas limits.
- This offers true EVM equivalence, enhanced security, parallelization, and computation limited only by data availability.
Ancillary Benefits of Native Rollups
- Native rollups offer post-quantum security by inheriting L1's security and simplify synchronous composability.
- This requires only next-slot real-time proving (12 seconds), unlike the more demanding 100ms timeframe.
