One of the super powers of ZK is the ability to create fully private and permissioned L2s that use Ethereum as the settlement layer while still being able to interact with the rest of the ZKsync ecosystem once interop is live. Can’t do anything like this with optimistic roll up

Wallets selling distribution as a service is extremely based. Those who control order flow and thus, end user relationships, will continue to rise in market share, mindshare, revenue and overall brand. Great piece here.

Ethereum is the sum of the L1 and all of the L2's built on top of it. Scaling Ethereum blockspace is also scaling ETH the asset as a commodity money. While not all blockspace is created equal, we should work to scale all of it as much as possible.

A friend wants to pivot his startup (no demand), but one of his VCs is pressuring him not to. My advice: you're the CEO. Absorb as much data as you can, including VC advice, then decide. But it's ok to disagree with a VC. They can start

There'll be one global backbone - Ethereum Ethereum is the backbone of the new global financial system of L2s and L1 apps. No other chain will come close. Mert suggested that Sol can pivot to being the backbone. But Solana will never be the backbone. Here's 5 reasons why.

There are now over 5 million active $ETH addresses across the Ethereum mainnet and leading L2 networks, outpacing any other Layer 1 asset by a significant margin.

This makes absolutely no sense at all - by this logic, all of the worlds largest tech companies are extremely decentralized since they have the most users. Though I guess you probably know this isn't true and you have no issues with lying (as everyone is well aware of now).

The price of gold has hit all time highs. Since 2000 the people who invested in gold have done very well. I am one of those investors. I own physical gold…. No paper gold ETFs.

One of these is not like the others... Open source, open standards, and decentralization are all relatively easy to define objectively. "Positive-sum" is an incredibly subjective morass of individual value judgements and politics. To the extent that Ethereum alignment has

As the crypto sector imploded in December 2022, Silvergate — a financial entity specializing in crypto — experienced a dramatic run on the bank. By March of the following year, company leadership announced it would voluntarily liquidate, marking the downfall of one of the biggest

After going through the Breakpoint keynote, it's clear that Solana places a higher emphasis on consumer-facing apps when compared to Ethereum. The majority of the speakers at Breakpoint were app builders, not infra/zk/scaling researchers. This culture of being app-first is why
