I like crypto nerd snipes, please forgive me in advance.

the native and “custom” rollup naming is good, very memeable. 

bonthesponge1 lays out why based sequencing is the best approach for shared sequencing. couldn’t agree more.

they argue that we need shared sequencing and real-time proving to get us universal synchronous composability. 

unified L2 liquidity that can compose with itself and L1 within block times iiuc.

see the shared sequencing desiderata below. 

1. credible neutrality. 
2. security
3. preconfirmations 
4. L1 compatible.

one question i thought of is. why is the gas limit important to increase now if most economic activity is moving to rollups anyways?

if increase the block gas limit you are increasing the load on the network which is not scalability by definition. 

scalability = TPS / cost to validate all transactions.

to me increasing the gas limit signals to some people. should just keep using L1. 

i think there are benefits to being able to pack more call data or proofs into a block.  but i’m not sure the former is being considered anymore. its not necessary when we have big blobs after prague/electra iiuc.

i think in the long run evm blocks are filled only with proofs.  its possible blocksize decreases more. 

i have no insights or technical knowledge just guessing. okay time to log off.

i also really liked the explanation of economic security and security budget. very helpful to clear up some naive misconceptions i had. 

thanks to the ef for this awesome ama.
