ZKsync Ignite Program: Fueling Untapped Liquidity for DeFi Elastic Chains
From zkSync 1.0 to the first zkEVM L2, Era 2.0, and finally Elastic chain in 2024, ZKsync has been iterating fast to unleash innovations, keeping its momentum as a promising Layer2 scaling solution. Now, to further innovate the Elastic chain ecosystem, ZKsync has announced its most recent upgrade – the ‘ZKsync Ignite Program.’ As of […]
3 Big Changes Arbitrum is introducing to make Orbit Chains Super Attractive
Imagine a rollup solution, which has already gained huge prominence, capturing 40% of the rollup market share, now planning to go full-throttle to stage 2. In that case, what would unfold? Series of upgrades. This sounds like an interesting question to dig and that’s what Arbitrum Orbit New development is bringing on the table. So, […]
Cosmos’s New Interchain Stack: The One-Level-Up SDK for Sovereign L1 Builders
When you have understood the market loopholes and created a solution for the same and it becomes an industry standard, restricting it to a single ecosystem is no choice when a flurry of adoption is getting triggered. The Cosmos story is almost the same. To cater to its 110 ecosystem chains and counting, Cosmos is […]
Polygon’s Eggfruit Upgrade: A Big Step towards a more scalable and efficient zkEVM
The much-anticipated Polygon Eggfruit upgrade’s mainnet is launching on the 30th of September 2024. This will open up solid possibilities to make Polygon zkEVM highly-performant, more scalable, and an efficient execution environment while also offering similar benefits for Polygon CDK chains. The eggfruit upgrade is one of the biggest steps in the Polygon blockchain’s development […]
What Is Making Solana Red Hot in 2024?
Despite the network effect that Ethereum has exerted all these years by harnessing the rollup capabilities to achieve unprecedented scaling, Solana is still staying relevant must be a surprise for many. But in order to compete with Ethereum’s market cap of $295.8 B, an ecosystem, which is $63 B must have undergone massive upgrade to […]
Tracing the Revenue Contribution of OP Stack Chains and Benefits to Ethereum
OP Stack chains are an integral part of the OP Superchain ecosystem. OP Stack L2/L3s account for over 54.2% of total Superchain transactions and contribute 42.5% of Superchain revenue. You may know that each OP Chain is accountable for contributing a portion of its protocol fee to the Optimism collective, thereby powering the Ethereum ecosystem […]

RaaS: The Key Ingredient to Ethereum’s Rollups Centric Roadmap
In 2020’s, when Ethereum was at its prime, protocol upgrades in the form of the Merge, followed by Shapella focussed exclusively towards improving the base Ethereum layer to make it performant from the standpoint of scalability, security and decentralization. However, over the period, it became increasingly clear that managing all operations on a single execution […]
The OP Stack Factor: Powering Ethereum’s Leap Towards 2.0
As we know, the top selling point for any Layer2 rollup framework (be it for optimistic or zero-knowledge technology) is Ethereum-compatibility along with the ability of L2 chains to settle on Ethereum to inherit its high-staked security, decentralization, and liquidity. Let’s talk about one such most-suited and ready L2 rollup framework; OP Stack in this […]
Dencun Upgrade: A New Chapter for Ethereum’s Layer 2 Scalability
As a front-runner in the Web 3 ecosystem, Ethereum boasts a robust ecosystem housing thousands of Dapps, with a TVL at the time of writing standing at $50 B. Ethereum has been able to achieve these landmark milestones, allegiance to rollups and side chains. However, at the heart of the protocol, Ethereum is able to […]
