Ethereum

An Ethereum whale acquired over $19 million ETH after Consensys said that the SEC was closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.

Who else is buying?

The one missing piece is a rollup that has higher throughput than any & all monolithic L1s. By elementary logic, it's inevitable, as a rollup can run faster hardware with the same software, but it hasn't happened yet in prod. Hope to see a rollup/validium do thousands of TPS by itself - even if it's mostly spam.

It's really underrated how 4 years ago the worst ethereum UX problem was that transactions would often take like 10 min to confirm if you get unlucky with the gasprice, and that problem just completely went away with EIP-1559. Today transactions reliably confirm in 5-20 seconds.

Running

They are both runners. But they do different sports. 

Would be interesting to see them racing the mile one against the other.

genuinely impressed someone made this so quickly, didnt rollups.wtf only launch a few days ago?https://warpcast.com/mikedemarais.eth/0x693404ba

IMHO, L2Beat's/Vitalik's Stages are incomplete. For Stage 2, in addition, 

- Alternate sequencing triggered within 1 epoch (i.e. 6.4 minutes). Currently, Optimism is 12 hours, which is not acceptable (preferably, there's real-time distributed sequencing) 
- Security council has pause rights only; upgrades even for onchain provable bugs must go through governance, emergency path with >X% approval

Then, there should be an optional Stage 3, or Stage X, where:

- Based or based-like sequencing is mandated
- Security council is dissolved
- Smart contracts upgrades require >Y% (80%?) approval from the protocol's full governance, in addition to >30d delay

For big-tent high-value L2s like Arbitrum One, Stage 3 should be the target. For most, Stage 2 should be perfectly fine, and even Stage 1 enough for many lower-value app-specific L2s.

Interest seems to be high on preconfs lately
Happy to start a channel and mod if people are interested

SIWE, SIWF, SIWSW (Coinbase Smart Wallet)

to support logging into apps as a contract:

can we get more adoption of ERC-1271 this time around? or find a simpler standard?

or is sending a tx to auth with every app sufficiently realistic on L2s and L3s? (probably not)

or does CB SW already have this solved somehow?
