X Layer is a zkEVM validium running on Polygon’s CDK tech stack

In a forum post, Polygon detailed what went wrong with its zkEVM in a recent outage

The funding round was led by a16z crypto, and will be used by the team to continue product development and team scaling

Fault proofs are a critical security measure to ensure transactions are valid on optimistic rollups

Blast encouraged users to deposit into its multisig. Now they can finally exit

Ethereum Dencun will enable Ethereum transactions to be submitted as blobs, potentially alleviating the costs of posting data on the blockchain

They may use different cryptographic techniques, but all privacy-centric L2s hope to be the first on Ethereum

The thesis that more activity begets lower proving costs passes a real-world test

Cronos Labs launches testnet for the Cronos zkEVM Chain, the first “hyperchain” using zkSync’s ZK Stack

Data availability solutions are launching, but Ethereum remains the most popular blockchain for developers to post data

Ethereum users have layer-2 rollups to thank for saving them from high fees and long wait times

Following a $7 million fundraise, Fhenix outlines its design for a fully homomorphic encryption rollup

Celestia is a modular layer that uses data availability sampling to increase throughput and reduce transaction costs

Arbitrum is an Ethereum scaling solution and is one of the largest chains by TVL today

The crux of the matter is the definition of scaling, Charbonneau explains

The latest system will comprise three components, a fault-proof program, a fault-proof virtual machine and a dispute game protocol

Scaling at the execution layer has a long way to go, says Offchain Labs’ Jordan

Data availability sampling uses polynomials to prove that transactions are accurate

The successful launch of layer-2 chains like Base has “increasingly validated” the modular blockchain thesis, Celestia’s Nick White says

A centralized sequencer “makes a lot of sense” for many rollup applications

Although more rollups are joining the L2 race, optimistic rollups still possess the greater share of total value locked

The testnet, dubbed Doppio, will be open to external nodes over the next few months

Celer Network releases benchmarking results pitting zero-knowledge provers head to head

Celo is ready to migrate back to the Ethereum ecosystem, with plans to hard fork its blockchain into a rollup
