At #DevCon2024, "based rollups" were a hot topic. In his talk, Conor McMenamin (@ctrain) discussed the ¨Revenue Model for Based Rollups¨, which explores the financial dynamics surrounding rollups and the complexities involved in achieving sustainable operations. Let's discuss this talk and highlight how Intmax positions itself on this topic. https://app.devcon.org/schedule/LEFXQV Running a based rollup comes with upfront costs: zk/op provers: Expensive computational operations for cryptographic proofs. L1 fees: Costs for submitting rollup transactions to Ethereum's base layer. These substantial initial investments are barriers for smaller or new projects, making participation challenging without significant capital and an experienced team. The challenge is aligning the revenue streams to cover substantial costs while remaining competitive. Some examples in the rollup solutions industry have not succeeded so far. 1/4

Here at #Intmax, we are achieving the balance between a sustainable ecosystem and keeping fees significantly low. Even with a large user base, transaction fees can remain as low as 0.50 cent in a highly predictable and stable way. Conor highlights that the ecosystem comprises the participants with their unique roles and costs: Users: Pay fees for transactions. Proposers: Submit blocks and earn proposer fees. ZK-provers: Bear significant computational costs to validate blocks. DAOs: Oversee rollup governance and often manage the treasury. 2/4
