Ethereum

This article provides an explanation by Vitalik on the workings of Plasma, challenges faced by NFTs, challenges faced by the EVM, and how Proof of Validity can mitigate many of these issues.

In this article, Vitalik directly addresses a specific technical aspect of a subproblem: how to more easily read from L2 to L1, from L1 to L2, or from one L2 to another L2. Solving this issue is crucial for achieving asset/key separation architecture, but it also has valuable use cases in other areas, most notably optimizing reliable cross-L2 calls, including use cases such as moving assets between L1 and L2.

Since Vitalik published the seminal work "The Rollup-Centric Ethereum Roadmap" in October 2020, there have been many changes over the past three years.

In the article, Vitalik outlines several key reasons why it is important to start explicitly considering L1 + cross-L2 support, wallet security, and privacy as essential foundational features of the ecosystem stack, rather than building these things as plugins that can be individually designed by each wallet.

Competition in the Alt L1 space is heating up, with Near introducing a DA solution and Sui's TVL steadily rising. While Ethereum takes its time with mainnet upgrades, L2 introduces two major competitive points: parallel EVM and decentralized sequencers.

This article delves into the upcoming Dencun upgrade on the Ethereum network, with a specific focus on the EIP-4844 proposal and its impact on the Ethereum ecosystem, particularly Layer 2 technology and Data Availability (DA).

The author of this article takes the well-known ZK-Rollup project Aztec as an example, and uses the two recent proposals named B52 and Fernet proposed by Aztec Labs as the starting point to analyze how ZKR can achieve the decentralization of sequencer nodes.

The article introduces a crucial but often overlooked aspect of how Ethereum maintains its security and decentralization: its multi-client approach. Ethereum intentionally lacks a "reference client" that everyone runs by default. Instead, there is a collaboratively managed specification (currently written in human-readable but slow Python) and multiple teams implementing that specification (also referred to as "clients") which users actually run.

This article explores the transformative changes that decentralization in blockchain can bring to society.

This article introduces the blockchain project Monad, which, through a series of innovations, fully harnesses the potential of the EVM, creating a high-throughput L1 blockchain.

The term Data Availability (DA) is an incomplete expression, lacking a clear subject and predicate, and merely describes the importance of transmitting transaction data beyond the execution layer.

This article aims to provide a brief summary of the working principles and commercial significance of opBNB, outlining an important step taken by the BSC public chain in the era of modular blockchain.
