Arbitrum Throws Hat In Ring for Celo's Migration to Layer-2 Blockchain
Celo originally planned to build its Ethereum layer-2 network with Optimism's OP Stack. Then Polygon and Matter Labs pitched their stacks. Now, Arbitrum, the biggest layer-2, wants in on the bake-off.
Blockchain Developer Lattice Unveils 'Alternative Data Availability' Network for Optimism
The new "Redstone" network, currently operating as a test network, is rooted in an effort to make blockchains cheaper for gaming and decentralized applications – relying on off-chain "data availability" providers as part of the broader setup.
Nil Foundation Plans New Ethereum Rollup With Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Sharding
The foundation claims that this will be the first ZK rollup that enables sharding, combining two popular scaling technologies.
Kraken Said to Seek Partner to Help Build It a Layer 2 Blockchain Network
The crypto exchange is still considering which blockchain developer should build its network, with Polygon, Matter Labs and the Nil Foundation in the mix, according to people familiar with the situation. Rival crypto exchange Coinbase blazed the trail with Base.
Scroll Confirms Mainnet Live, as Co-Founder Predicts Speed Gains Over Ethereum
Blockchain data showed that Scroll’s smart contract was deployed on Oct. 8, but the team held off making its official announcement until this week.
Manta's Layer-2 Blockchain Already Plans to Ditch OP Stack for Polygon
The network, which just went live a couple weeks ago as a so-called optimistic rollup – the core underpinning of OP Stack – will now become a “ZK-rollup,” which is what Polygon’s software kit provides.
At Last, Blockchain Developer OP Labs Delivers ‘Fault Proofs’ Missing From Core Design
The developer’s OP Stack software, the blueprint for Coinbase’s new Base blockchain, had been criticized for the lack of a crucial security feature – likened to driving a fast car without airbags.
Buenos Aires Releases Blockchain Digital Identity Solution Powered by zkSync's ZK Proofs
Citizens of Buenos Aires can access the identity solution, the QuarkID wallet, where they can store their birth and marriage certificates, according to the city government.
Coinbase’s Chosen Blockchain Brand Sees Zero Threat from Zero Knowledge
Many Ethereum aficionados have predicted that the most promising layer-2 blockchains would be built not using the OP Stack’s “optimistic rollup” technology – favored by the U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase – but with a different setup known as “ZK rollups,” reliant on "zero-knowledge" cryptography.
What Is Ethereum’s ‘Data Availability' Problem, and Why Does It Matter?
Separate “data availability” layers could reduce congestion on the Ethereum network by making it easier for ancillary “rollup” networks to verify that transactional details exist and are available to download if needed — without actually downloading them. The concept might offer an alternative to Ethereum’s own proposed solution, seen as years away.
