Paradex Takes the Wheel: How a Karnot-Run App-Chain Supercharges the SuperDEX

Paradex is moving its sequencer to a Karnot-run open-source stack, a shift built on two years of shipping the SuperDEX. This custom infrastructure stack lets Paradex deliver a bespoke trading UX not possible on today’s L1s or L2s, all while retaining Ethereum security. This piece unpacks why the move matters, how it works under the hood, and what it unlocks next. https://x.com/tradeparadex/status/1938570326990008443TL;DRParadex is partnering with Karnot to run its own Madara sequencer on an e...

The Evolution of Blockchain State Architectures
Special thanks to the Kasar Labs team for discussion and review. Blockchains represent a significant advancement in decentralised, permissionless databases, built to be trustless and scalable. Ethereum, as a prime example is a global database operating with over six thousand nodes that constantly read and write to the blockchain. A distributed system of such proportions demands a state architecture that meets three key criteria: it must be immutably verifiable, enable lightning-fast lookups, ...

The Starknet-Appchain Paradigm
The Rollup Ecosystem TodayThe Ethereum scaling landscape has expanded rapidly in recent years; introducing rollups that repurpose the L1 as a settlement layer. Traditionally featuring Optimistic L2s including Arbitrum and Optimism, and zkEVMs such as Scroll and Taiko; rollups today have enabled a surge in economic and network activity across the Ethereum landscape. While L2s enable complete modularity on all elements of the stack, most rollups operate as near-identical-EVMs. This approach doe...

Bringing Madara support to Avail's Clash of Nodes
In 2024, rollups have already established themselves as the quintessential scaling solution for Ethereum. However, primitive methods such as posting data on L1 can account for up to 95% of the average transaction cost. Solving this issue of scalable data availability is critical to building scalable rollups and user experiences. EIP 4844 proposes to resolve this by introducing blob transactions and reducing costs for DA on Ethereum itself. While 4844 is promising, given Ethereum's scale ...
