Proof of Gameplay
Update: August 5, 2024 The mentioned issues had been “somewhat” fixed by the concerned team. The game is still not on-chain.Disclaimer: This piece is meant to be a fun and spicy callout on the current situation and does not mean any harm, the devs in Stackr team are actually coinbase fanboys and would infact love to work with them on fixing the issues highlighted here to onboard users to crypto “properly”.A few weeks ago, Coinbase (Base) announced a partnership with Atari, the gaming giant, b...

A case study for Ephemeral Rollups: Avail Unification Cup
During the EthCC 2024 week in Brussels, the Avail team hosted the Unification Cup, bringing together many people from the ecosystem to participate in a football tournament. We, at Stackr Labs, partnered with the Avail team to develop an application-specific ephemeral rollup on top of Avail DA for the tournament. This blog post serves as a case study introducing the concept of ephemeral rollups, exploring their use cases across Web2 and Web3, detailing the user experience and engineering of th...

Micro-Rollups for Keystores
If you’ve been deep in the trenches of Account Abstraction (AA) and Rollup scaling, you’ve probably come across the term “Keystore Rollup”. Since this concept sits at the intersection of two of "The Three Transitions", it represent a significant step towards a more global-scale and user-friendly Ethereum ecosystem.The Three TransitionsThe aim of this blogpost is to provide a high-level yet detailed deep dive into the concept of a Keystore Rollup, what problems does it solve, an example implem...

Introducing the Playground 🧸
Micro-Rollups are an evolution of how app-specific rollups, or single-app rollups, should be built. It was only fair that we reimagined what the developer tooling should look like to significantly enhance the process of building a micro-rollup. And, that’s how the Micro-Rollup Playground was birthed! The Playground is primarily a dev tool, which provides a full-featured interface to interact with your MRU, view actions processed, blocks formed, granular finality of each action, and enables ac...
