2024-09-06 –, Vistula stage
This 30-minute talk provides an extensive introduction to the L2 ecosystem, delineating the vast array of technologies that enhance Ethereum's scalability and functionality. I will explore not only the fundamental categories of rollups, including Optimistic and Zero-Knowledge rollups, but also delve into emerging subcategories such as booster rollups, based rollups, and ephemeral rollups. Utilizing L2BEAT's acclaimed frameworks - Risk Rosette, Stages, and Badges - I will offer a detailed analysis of the various L2 solutions, assessing their unique attributes, risks, and decentralization statuses. This presentation aims to clarify the complex landscape of L2 technologies, demonstrating how each category and subcategory contributes uniquely to overcoming Ethereum's scalability challenges. The talk will feature visual aids, including charts and diagrams, to illustrate the differences and functionalities of each rollup type, making the information accessible and engaging for all attendees.
