SNARKs vs STARKs: A Deep Dive Behind Layer-2 Rollups
by Romain TrefaultPhoto: Moralis, all right reserved. The infamous blockchain scalability issue might be permanently solved by zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which are described in great length in my recent publication. They can offload the main layer-1 network and increase transaction throughput. Using ZKP encryption, some businesses are already developing scalability solutions. You may be familiar with zkSync, Loopring, or Starknet; their teams recently revealed their milestones, sparking a ...

Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP): Proving It Without Revealing It
Web3 developers have a wide range of alternatives when it comes to Ethereum scaling solutions. You have layer 1 enhancements, such as Ethereum 2.0, layer 2 chains, such as Optimism and Arbitrum, and sidechains, like Polygon or xDai. I wrote another Medium post about the types of layer 2 that you can find here. Web3 developers have the choice between state channels, optimistic rollups, or zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups under the category of layer 2 Ethereum scaling options. ZK-rollups are becomin...

Layer 2: One Step Closer to the Mass Adoption of Blockchain
by Romain TrefaultLayer 1: The Base Network of BlockchainThe blockchain ecosystem is expanding at never-before-seen speeds for any technology. There were just a few dozen cryptocurrencies almost a decade ago, but there are now a plethora of cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks. However, the scalability of blockchain networks is critical to their growth and utilization. This is where layer 1 (L1) blockchain solutions are required. So, what exactly do L1 blockchain solutions entail? In this...

IPFS — Distributed, Content Addressed, Versioned, Peer-to-Peer File Protocol
By Romain TrefaultIPFS: The Decentralized Storing ProtocolIn the realm of information technology, decentralization has never been more important than it is now. We are approaching an era of decentralization, defined by more powerful distributed computing, ubiquitous network connectivity, and decentralized storage resources, while mobile computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) expand the ways that data collecting and processing are used. Decentralization in computing is now nearly synonymou...
