A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

If owning a network token like ETH (n1) is validated relative to its genesis block (g1), then call mainnet ETH g1n1. If “ETH” is on another network like base with a different genesis block (g2) then how can ETH g1n1 == ETH g2n1? It can’t be… yet we claim it is. How?

In fact, it's not. We optimistically claim it is equal when the Base sequencer posts it to L1, but it only becomes equal when the fraud proof window expires (7 days)
