How do people feel about "strong L2" vs "light L2" as umbrella terms for things with unconditional security (rollups, plasma, channels) vs things with partial security (validiums, pre-confirmations...) that's still better than a multisig?

Copying over this diagram from a few months ago:

Proposing to rename "security-favoring" and "scale-favoring" to "strong" vs "light", to be more succinct.

strong vs fast maybe?

light simply sounds... worse than strong.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Currently: WhatsABI

They're both anchored though.

And to me "loose" feels worse than "light"?

How about "anchored" vs "floating"?

Or "strict" vs "loose".

let s let security for the base layer, ethereum and let the l2 s be more scalable 🐵
