one super impressive stat about @base is that they post tx batches more frequently than @taikoxyz even though they are not based. 26s vs 49s avg intervals. onchain per tx cost is also 19x lower

0.31 gwei basefee is crazy. rollups should consider taking this opportunity to post data and proofs more often to offer a better ux to their users, especially @zksync @Starknet @LineaBuild @Scroll_ZKP @inkonchain @soneium @modenetwork

blob occupancy at 75% for the first time since pectra src:

Ethereum has reached the new 45M gas limit! 🎉 Can't wait to see it scale even more, with PeerDAS coming later to supercharge blob availability for L2s, allowing them to dramatically scale even further as well!

vibe-coded a simple website that shows a live feed of ethereum's gas limit changes to track the progress towards 45M (link in comments)

With upgraded Security Council setups approved by OP governance, @Optimism, @base, @inkonchain & @unichain will stay Stage 1 rollups - great to see them step up. 🫡 Last two Stage 1s affected: @Scroll_ZKP & @KintoXYZ. We hope to see them address it soon!

Stress-test ePBS (EIP-7732) vs. Electra on 1 GigaGas L1 (avg 200 MGas blocks ~4 s exec) w/ @potuz_eth over 4 epochs: Electra: 28 orphaned blocks (lost rewards) ePBS: 0 orphaned blocks EIP-7732 is a game-changer for Ethereum L1 scaling! 🔥

happy to announce that i’ve started deeply researching native rollups to make them a reality, and that i’ll be speaking about it at the next @BanklessHQ Summit II in Buenos Aires, alongside other amazing speakers :) if you wanna chat about native rollups, DMs are open!

new @l2beat risk framework proposal for trusted setups just dropped, please share any feedback! some projects might lose their green “state validation” risk pizza slice because of it

The best way to build an L2 is to lean into the L1's offerings (security, censorship resistance, proofs, data avail...) more, and reduce your logic to just being a sequencer and a prover (if based, just a prover) over the core execution. This is the combination of trust minimization and efficiency that the 2010s enterprise blockchain crew wanted, but was never able to achieve. Now, with Ethereum L2s, you can achieve it. And we've already seen successful examples of the L1's features protecting users' rights if something on the L2 goes wrong.
