Michael Sutton On X: An instantiation in the sense that it will choose a specific zk vm and a specific overall architecture to the L2, but I don’t think L1 is gonna enforce it as the only rollup/L2 instance, meaning there can be others with different choices and tradeoffs. Hopefully, it can be done…— Michael Sutton December 9, 2024

Michael Sutton On X: By all means, please read the Ghostdag paper and we can further discuss. Perhaps you’d like to join the challenge of proper scaling the proof system rather than criticizing it from an external pov. Let’s just agree that L1 scaling and designing the L1/L2 bridge is a separate…— Michael Sutton December 9, 2024

Michael Sutton On X: The required L1 components or a full L2 instantiation? The *design* must be holistic to some degree and look at the full picture, but implementation-wise these are very different questions. The former is an open-source core RK effort requiring the usual procedures (research,…— Michael Sutton December 9, 2024

“Beyond Cardano and Kaspa: Top Affordable Altcoins Under $1 with 1000x Growth Potential”

When investors think of the tokens to buy in the bull run, they often gravitate toward established names like Cardano and Kaspa. While these tokens show promise, their high market capitalizations may limit potential returns.  Cardano, trading at $1.10 after breaking the $1 mark in late November, faces growth constraints due to its substantial market […]
The post Beyond Cardano and Kaspa:…

Michael Sutton On X: * It’s worth mentioning that ZK *verification* processes are cheap and that is all that will be required from L1. The burden of computation (mostly for generating zk proofs) lies on the collective effort of L2 operators/provers which can scale the task by managing and dividing…— Michael Sutton December 9, 2024

Michael Sutton On X: Combined with ZK proofs, this design offers the best of both worlds: L1 level of security and decentralization; while heavy computations are performed on L2 and only succinctly verified on L1— Michael Sutton December 9, 2024

Michael Sutton On X: Thanks to this parallel line of cryptography tech, we can indeed remain thin and yet expressive. Yet a question arises: using this technology, how can we maximize the benefits of already being fast and wide? Enter the “based” rollup concept.— Michael Sutton December 9, 2024
