This blog series explores the evolution of Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) within Ethereum and how Radius brings a new perspective to PBS in the Layer 2 (L2) ecosystem through its Blockspace Network. PBS has become a key concept for improving block production efficiency and decentralization in Ethereum. The article first looks at PBS’s development in Layer 1 (L1) Ethereum, then shifts focus to how Radius aims to optimize L2 revenue through the Blockspace Network, contributing to the broader...

Understand the importance of pursuing a user-centric model in rollups and the role of Radius in that vision.IntroductionThe basics of growth for any successful product or service are long-term users. In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to worry about users churning away. The reality. Today’s users might not be your users tomorrow. This challenge extends to rollups and decentralized applications within blockchain ecosystems, particularly in environments where users have the ease and flexibili...
