Some steps toward rollup interoperability
As a rollup-centric ecosystem enthusiast, I’ve always been interested in solutions that improve rollup interoperability. Moreover, the sole reason I created this blog was to promote a message of the importance of interoperability in this area. Then, I realized that writing articles is an excellent way to consolidate my understanding of a certain topic and help people understand it, and now I’m here. As every day in crypto is learning new things, it should seem obvious that today, I see the vi...

What did the blobs change?
This article was initially written as a run-up for the upcoming Dencun upgrade, but I didn’t have time to finish it before the upgrade. I decided that this article contains a lot of helpful information about how blobs work and what exactly they change in the rollup workflow, so I modified it a little and published post factum. To understand the material below, it’s helpful to have a basic understanding of Merkle trees, Ethereum, and its rollup-centric scaling roadmap. My article “Dr. Dankshar...

Dr. Dankshard or How I learned to stop worrying and love rollups
UPD 2024/08/28: Two months ago, I authored a series of articles for Etherpedia, an initiative by the 2077 Collective aimed at providing beginner-friendly content on various Ethereum technologies and roadmap elements. This series included an article titled “The Roadmap: Rollup Scaling,” which draws heavily from the article you're reading right now. Even though it doesn't include as much detail regarding calculations and comparisons with alternative scaling designs, I consider it an e...

Foundations and orders of rollup-centric Ethereum
In this article I want to tell about current state of Ethereum scaling, demystify some of false points about rollup-centric Ethereum and explain how to navigate in all of this if you’re a developer or just interested in this topic. To my surprise, there are no guides of Ethereum scaling angle for developers. Yeah, you can find articles that explain what is a rollup, what are their differences, how to develop on rollups, etc. But all this looks like building on top of another chains and pretty...
