Vitalik proposes solution to link certain layer-two scaling projects
L2 DeFi protocols currently cannot communicate with each other, so Vitalik has proposed a fix. In an ongoing effort to battle escalating transaction fees while creating a unified ecosystem, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a solution for a particular type of cross-rollup scaling.The proposal outlines how two protocols using rollups can communicate with each other while maintaining interconnectivity and composability.Rollups are layer-two solutions that are essentially smart contract networks that process and store transaction data off the main chain. However, there are a....

While layer-2 protocols have been focused on “scalability,” layer-3 protocols would serve a much different purpose, says Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. While Ethereum-based layer-2 solutions have been focused on hyperscaling the network, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin believes layer 3s will serve a far different purpose — providing “customized functionality.” Buterin shared his thoughts in a Saturday post, providing three “visions” of what layer 3s will be used for in the future. The Ethereum co-founder said a third layer on the blockchain makes sense only if it provides a....
Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer-2 (L2) scaling solution, announced it would launch its mainnet for users this August. The tool, which allows Ethereum users to transact with very low fees, had launched in beta version last June, with support from some key projects in the Ethereum sphere, like Uniswap, who received a community vote to integrate it. The project will also launch Arbitrum One, which will have up-to-date information about the projects using its network. Arbitrum To Launch This August Arbitrum, the Ethereum L2 rollup, has announced it will launch in mainnet beta this month, opening....
There are currently 38 projects deployed on the Ethereum layer-2 network. More are expected as attention shifts to scalability. Automated market maker and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Balancer has officially deployed on Optimism, the highly touted Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, in a move designed to enhance user functionality by increasing scalability and reducing fees. Balancer’s Optimism deployment was carried out in conjunction with Beethoven X, a decentralized investment platform on the Fantom Network that forked from Balancer v2. Together, both teams are said to have....
The author of the Ethereum whitepaper, Vitalik Buterin, believes rollups will solve Ethereum’s scaling woes until the introduction of Eth2 sharding. Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, believes the network is on the verge of scaling by a factor of 100, predicting the Optimism will release its layer-two solution in the coming weeks.Speaking on the Tim Ferriss podcast, Buterin noted Eth2’s developer are focused on working toward the chain merge with Ethereum, and are confident that layer-two solutions can support the network until sharding is developed. “Rollups are coming very soon,” he....
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, announced on Friday that it had integrated the layer-2 scaling solution Optimism because Binance is optimistic about the future of Ethereum’s Layer 2. The exchange explained that, at this time, deposits are the only thing supported; withdrawals will not be available until the exchange achieves optimal liquidity. […]
