Quick poll: We just proposed a decentralization framework for alt-DA projects (validiums, optimiums). Should we call it "Stages" like we do for rollups, or give it its own name? Drop suggestions in the comments 👇

Finally :') 🇻🇪❤️

The takeaway isn’t that Ethereum is moving away from L2s. The role of L2s is evolving. As the base layer scales, L2s can compete on customization, specialized environments, and new use cases, while still benefiting from Ethereum’s security.

Which bridges are the fastest? Bridging speed varies widely across protocols and transfer designs. On the L2BEAT Interop page, we track average transfer times across bridges to see how long it actually takes for assets to move between chains. Let’s look at what the data shows 👇

🚨 L2BEAT is now a Verified Delegate on @Scroll_ZKP We’ve joined Scroll’s first cohort of Verified Delegates to actively participate in governance and represent the broad Ethereum community in the Scroll governance ecosystem. Scroll governance is evolving, and is still very much cooking behind the scenes 👀

Our Interoperability Dashboard now supports @avax! Now you can track how value moves between Avalanche and all other chains we support. Here's how the numbers look like👇

Have you ever wondered: “Can I bridge $1M in a single transaction?” Looking at the data across interop solutions shows some interesting patterns in how these are actually used. Let’s take a look 👇

We've standardised decentralisation assessment for Rollups. Now it's time to do the same for Validiums and Optimiums. Introducing: the Alt-DA Stages Framework - a structured path for off-chain data availability systems to earn trust. Forum post + community feedback open 👇

@SoyDanielP2P Aqui presente @perrovolpe ;)

Interop can be messy. Different protocols handle cross-chain transfers differently, and some protocols support multiple approaches. That's why on L2BEAT Interop, we classify transfers into 3 categories 👇

New Stage 1 requirements countdown starts today ⌛ L2BEAT will soon require all Stage 1 rollups to make their proving systems fully reproducible - including ZK verifiers, program hashes, and fault proof prestates. Projects have 6 months to comply or get downgraded to Stage 0. More about the change 👇

This is exciting news. ZK proofs coming to optimistic L2s is a big shift. A short thread 🧵⬇

TL;DR — come work with me. If you’re not interested, please share; it helps a ton. As you’ve probably seen lately, there’s a lot of confusion about L2s and their relationship with Ethereum. And if even some of the most OG folks on CT are confused, you can imagine how lost people are who entered the space a year ago - especially enterprise and institutional ones. We need to fix this, and I need your help. A year from now, I want anyone who needs to make an informed decision around crypto - whether it’s digital asset strategy for an institution, a technology stack for a startup, or simply where to allocate their attention - to have everything they need to make one. Articles, social posts, videos, webinars, presentations - you name it. We need to be wherever crypto-curious minds are. Ding-dong. Hello, do you have a moment to talk about Ethereum and its L2s? If that sounds like something you’d love to do, DM me and let’s talk about whether we can do this together. Here’s a non-mandatory, non-exhaustive list of what I’m looking for: - You can explain complex technical topics in a structured, easy-to-understand way. Illustration/visual storytelling skills are a big plus. (@waitbutwhy, if you’re open to a side gig, let me know 😉) - You understand the technical topics yourself. This is not a “content person who paraphrases” role - you’ll be part of the team. It helps if you already have some grasp of Ethereum and L2s, but you don’t need to be an expert on day one; we can help you ramp up. - You can help create a content strategy and calendar - and you’re accountable for execution and delivery (so you know how to plan and ship). - You’re comfortable working with people: some are brilliant nerds, some are sophisticated suits. You can’t just lock yourself in a basement and deliver “art” once a month (at least not only that). - You can operate as a one-person-army most of the time. We’re a small, highly focused team. We’re not afraid to outsource/delegate (including to AI), but we own the final product. - You’ll work with me directly, daily. Feel free to ask my current and past colleagues for the +s and −s of that. Perks of working with us: - You’ll work with the most competent team in the world when it comes to broad knowledge of L2s, scaling, and security guarantees/risks. - You’ll do something important that has a real chance to make a dent in the universe (karma points included in the package). - You have my word, we either make people understand the nuances of Ethereum L2s or we die trying. No half-measures. “Do or do not, there is no try” - Go ahead and ask current or former team members what it’s like - I’m confident they’ll vouch for the experience I’m not posting a salary range on purpose. I’m open to a wide range of candidates - from passionate, high-signal juniors to experienced, battle-tested seniors. We’ll discuss compensation early so we don’t waste each other’s time.

The monthly L2 roundup is here! Here's what happened across the L2 ecosystems 👇

Guess the player Very Hard

As 2025 is coming to an end, here’s a quick wrap of what we shipped on L2BEAT… But first, to our community: THANK YOU! 💗Your feedback, questions and constant scrutiny are what keep this work sharp. We genuinely wouldn’t be here without you. So here's what we did in 2025:

@SeedsPuntoEth @cryptochica_arg @SEEDLatam 106 dice, parece de 26

@cryptochica_arg Manejar @SEEDLatam, tengo 38 pero parezco de 106

Micromanagement.

Hahahaha
