Realizing the Rollup Centric Roadmap with Rollup-Boost

Duration: 00:25:14

Speaker: Daniel Marzec

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

L2s are the future, but they're also the past. At this point it's clear that your phone is most likely an L6. Let's examine the feedback loops between L1, L2, and beyond and form community standards around multiprovers, distributed block building, inclusion guarantees and more that feed back into L1.

The Age Of AGGREGATION

Aggregation plays a critical role in enhancing the usability and scalability of blockchain technology. In this session, we will explore the fundamental concepts of aggregation, debunk common myths, and discuss the necessity of aggregated blockchain systems for achieving real-world usage. Current scalability boundaries limit blockchain's potential, but through aggregation, we can optimize performance and usability, making blockchain technology accessible to a broader audience

Keynote: Unifying Ethereum Through Intents and ERC-7683

Ethereum has scaled with a diverse ecosystem of L2s—but this created a new challenge: how can this fragmented landscape of potentially millions of rollups feel like a **unified Ethereum**? In this talk, I’ll discuss how intent-based architectures—and new standards like ERC-7683—can help unify Ethereum while maintaining the benefits of Ethereum’s rollup centric architecture.

Ethereum needs native L2 preview

Ethereum needs native L2

Right now, L2beat tracks 116 L2s. However, they represent a wide range of trust assumptions, which makes assets—or more abstractly, messages—from these L2s non-fungible and thus significantly hampers interoperability. We are advocating for Ethereum to deploy a large number of native L2s, developed and governed by Ethereum's open-source developers. These L2s would be highly interoperable with L1, fulfilling Ethereum's early promise to provide sharding using L2 technology.

Decentralize your sequencer -- A guide for L2’s

This talk will act as a river guide exploring the design space for L2 sequencer decentralization. It will cover: 1. Should L2’s care about decentralizing a sequencer? 2. What does it mean for UX? 3. Forced Inclusion ≠ Decentralised sequencing 4. ELI5 the approaches being taken by L2's 5. Based rollups to the rescue? 6. What are for optimistic / zk and / privacy rollups 7. L2 Consensus networks are not the solution 8. Decentralisation is not just about sequencing rights

The rise of Appchains: from L2s to Rollup Clusters

Ethereum's rollup-centric approach has led to the emergence of L2 Rollup Clusters reducing fees but creating fragmented liquidity and a less seamless user experience. Third-party bridges, though helpful, are cumbersome, vulnerable to hacks ($2B losses to date), and costly, leading to high fees. In this keynote, Alex will discuss how native interoperability, with ZK at its core, can resolve fragmentation, enabling Clusters to collaborate instead of competing for users and liquidity, ultimately dr

Keynote: The REAL state of L2s

The evolution of Layer 2 solutions has been pivotal in scaling blockchain technologies. This talk, led by L2BEAT founder Bartek Kiepuszewski, delves into the current landscape, recent advancements, and future potential of L2 ecosystems. It will try to address some myths and current challenges of the space. Some important changes to L2BEAT risk framework will also be announced.

Defragmenting Ethereum - Interoperability and the Superchain

With the proliferation of L2s and Dencun (4844), Ethereum has scaled. However, we have a new challenge -- fragmentation. Now we're introducing various interoperability standards across Ethereum and Superchain ecosystem from intents to low latency cross chain bridging primitives. What are these standards and what will enable? How can we create scalable and composable blockspace which enables application developers to onboard the rest of the internet?

Why ERC 7683 is broken and how to fix it

While I appreciate the authors spending time on this problem statement and thinking about standardising flows, ERC 7683 is deeply flawed it still forces offchain agents to understand the order they are trying to fulfill and it doesnt give users any guarantees of execution or understanding of whats happening under the hood, I think its because its standardising things on the "intent" layer where instead we need to standardise more downstream so information like security can be better presented

L2 EVM Common Core: A Path Beyond EVM Equivalence

Network effects of the EVM have locked many of the L2s into equivalence with the L1 EVM. L1 is optimized for moderate throughput and maximal decentralization, but L2s need higher throughput and can rely on heavier full nodes. The talk will present a vision for an L2 EVM Common Core as a new base VM for participating L2s. It aims to offer a way to ship more ambitious EVM changes without increasing L2 fragmentation. It is a result of our work as leads of the RollCall L2 coordination process.

RIP-7755: Empowering Cross-Chain Interactions

Cross-chain interactions are becoming essential as Ethereum Layer 2 solutions multiply. RIP-7755 changes the game by trustlessly bridging the gap between L2 chains, allowing new use cases that rely solely on Ethereum and its rollups. In this workshop, we’ll explore RIP-7755 by building a cross-chain NFT minting app, focusing on nested storage proof implementation details to eliminate trust assumptions.
