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...

The Rollup Coaster is a bi-weekly newsletter that dives into the fascinating world of Ethereum, exploring the latest in rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, based sequencing/preconfirmations, TEEs, MEV/PBS and much more.
This edition is written by Taiko’s Researcher Jünger.

Yet another SGX vulnerability
Last week, a new invulnerability was discovered that allows you to extract the Intel SGX Fuse Key0 aka Root Provisioning Key. FK0 is unique to each chip but the key to encrypt FK0 is not unique to each chip. If attacker found the fuse encryption key (GWK, can decrpyt FK0), they can use it on every chip, as Sylvain said. Also Pratyush wrote an in-depth analysis of the breach.
Vitalik touched on the fact that modern computing increasingly divides tasks between flexible but less efficient ‘glue’ components and highly specialised, efficient ‘coprocessor’ components, offering advantages in terms of performance, security and accessibility.
L2Beat shared a detailed post on fraud proofs.
Starknet Bolt update introduced parallel execution and block packing to Starknet.
Nil Foundation shared an article on sharding as parallel execution.
Ed Felten shared his views on fraud proofs.
150 days after Dencun. GalaxyHQ shared an in-depth report on blobs.
Intro to zkVMs by Pi Squared Labs.
Delphi shared an article that comparing of SVM and EVM.
Coinbase shared a post on the rise of L2s.
Offchain Labs shared the roadmap of Arbitrum.
Risc Zero open-sourced the zkVM.
Scroll Darwin Upgrade, reduction of gas fees.
Wenfeng from Phala, shared the first ever SGX attester based on Risc Zero’ zkVM.
Bolt’s alpha release.
cyberFund shared a post explaining the reasons for investing in Bolt.
