msfew(Almost) Everything about Rollup
This post focuses on the Layer2 Rollup universe of Ethereum (only including Secured Rollup), and will explore the good and bad of the current Rollups from the core concepts and mechanism design in an easy-to-understand way, and think about the potential routes and advantages and disadvantages of each of their future solutions in terms of decentralization, further scaling, composability, and additional features such as privacy. A Secured Rollup is a Rollup model like Arbitrum or Optimism, wher...

0. Rollup’s BottleneckIf you read the previous post on Rollup I wrote, then you probably noticed that there was an intentional bug in the endgame comparison between Optimistic and zk Rollup. The conclusion was that Optimistic Rollup would outperform zk Rollup in the long run because there is no proving overhead. But in fact, Optimistic and zk Rollup actually take turns to take the lead in performance over time:Different types of Secured Rollups have different bottlenecks at different stages, ...

“wen flashbots mev-bitcoin fork?” It’s here.
Explore Bitcoin MEV and @RebarLabs, the project that came out of stealth to build MEV-aware products and infrastructure for Bitcoin.
MEV & Bitcoin?
You might wonder shouldn't MEVs only exist on networks with smart contracts that can run DeFi or DEX?
MEVs have always existed on Bitcoin (like intentional empty blocks by miners), and the emergence of Ordinals and Bitcoin L2 has created new MEVs.
Bitcoin L2 → MEV
Ordinals add programmability to Bitcoin, but this also creates opportunities for MEV, eg. miners front-run transactions to mint BRC-20.
MEVs like these will grow as these ecosystems develop. More research and coordination are needed.
When Flashbots for Bitcoin?
People like @eawosikaa, @Data_Always, and myself (@msfew_eth) have been asking when Flashbots for Bitcoin to handle MEV.
@0xTaker whetted my appetite, and finally, @RebarLabs came out of stealth to be the first to work on it.
@RebarLabs, MEV-aware products and infrastructure for Bitcoin
Rebar Labs is building infrastructure (alt mempool with private tx), products (data and dashboards), and providing research.
These products will ensure Bitcoin's core principles.
Rebar Labs empowers Bitcoin's ecosystem to address MEV, ensuring fair and transparent markets for users and miners.
Looking forward to what Rebar has in store for us!
Here are some more Bitcoin MEV stuffs:
