L2 MEV wat
Special thanks to Nikete Della Penna, RJ, Matthew Finestone, and Brecht Devos for review and valuable insights.TLDRIn this article, we “map” the current landscape of L2 MEV, thinking about different MEV consequences for different L2 designs. We also briefly overview different ways of L2s decentralization and how it might impact L2 MEV.Wat is MEVDisclaimer: feel free to skip if you are familiar with MEV. For a detailed MEV explanation, check the article “Ethereum is a dark forest” by Paradigm ...

Wrapping Up Season 6, Trailblazer Role and the Road Ahead

Eldfell L3 (alpha-4) is live!
Taiko’s fourth testnet has arrived! Eldfell L3 (alpha-4) is our first experiment with inception layers and a new staking based proving design. We are launching this testnet in order to test two things:Deploying Taiko on Taiko as an L3 inception layer (a rollup on a rollup 😏)Testing a new staking based prover economicsOur alpha-N releases are always experiments to test our hypothesis on the protocol and build a more robust system. So let's dive in!Inception layersInception layers are a n...

Blobs have arrived on Ethereum! Transacting on rollups has become cheaper thanks to the successful EIP-4844 implementation.

Vitalik proposed a contingency plan for an Ethereum hard fork to secure user assets in case of a quantum computing breach. He emphasized the need to shift to quantum-resistant wallets.
Based sequencing is starting to sprout in the Ethereum ecosystem. Espresso introduced the based sequencing marketplace: Based Espresso.
Ingonyama published Sumcheck 201. The paper examines sum-check protocols in terms of parallelizable computing on devices such as GPUs.
Eli Ben-Sasson shared his views on Circle STARKs.
Modulus completed the first on-chain LLM (1.5 billion parameter GPT2-XL model) proof on Ethereum.
The article by Aztec discussed the differences between proof generation for privacy-preserving ZK rollups and general-purpose rollups. It emphasized the importance of maintaining confidentiality of specific transaction data and explored client-side proof generation for private functions.
Scroll team published a new paper: Parallel Zero Knowledge Virtual Machine.
Dencun upgrade on Polygon.
The Bell Curve episode in which Uma Roy explains the ZK ecosystem and Succinct's position.
New update on Succinct’s SP1.
DelphiniusLabs shared the current performance status of ZKWASM.
Bertcmiller touched on the effects of EIP-4844 on block building.
Building private batch swaps on SUAVE and increased privacy by settling on Aztec: Private Batch Swaps using Aztec and SUAVE.
Anoma Resource Machine: the part of Anoma that is responsible for creation, composition, and verification of transactions.
zkML for Proof Markets by Nil Foundation on Mar 18, 5pm GMT.
An introduction to the Elliptic Curve prerequisites.
Deep dive to resources of STARKs math.
