**Ultimate Sequencer Goals: Solana-like ZK, Ethereum-Scalable** “details aside, the ultimate sequencer should resemble more a zk enshrined version of solana than a scalable version of ethereum”~ @hashdag, https://t.co/U6bKyJZ7qP (this goal stated above ^ is what we are trying to achieve/design these days; it’s why we are putting so much… https://t.co/SPuPJwSW9M— Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) May 25, 2025

**Michael Sutton Discusses Atomic Composability in ZK Dapps**

We are aware and on to this challenge way more than you probably think. The whole motivation for atomic composability is to provide the user with a flat experience of zk dapps interacting w/o restrictions. So while there will be various zk/vm infras and prover networks behind the…— Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) May 25, 2025

**L1 Centralization and Diverse Tech Stacks: Rethinking Core Role** **Put differently:** L1’s shift towards centralization through excessive computational load challenges its consensus role. **Another point:** Favoring L1 as a tech platform risks deviating from its sequential event consensus essence.

Put differently + another point:(i) L1 deviating from its core role of reaching consensus on a sequence of events in favor of (conceptually) unbounded computational burden (=centralization); and (ii) architectural preference of having L1 as a platform/protocol layer with diverse tech stacks built over it

Kaspa’s Supply Slashes to Lowest Ever: Price Analysis

Kaspa (KAS) is almost always in the spotlight, but this time it’s because of on-chain scarcity and technical strength.. With just 0.78% of the circulating supply moving in the past 24 hours, daily active supply is approaching record lows, setting the stage for what many are calling a looming supply shock. Supply Shock Brewing: What […]
The post Kaspa’s Circulating Supply Just…

**Centralization Risks in Proof-of-Inclusion Validation Systems**

Along the way, we show that inclusion-time proving actually means censorship is delegated to the provers (who can avoid providing proof and thus censor the transaction from inclusion in the first place). This means prover services become subject to centralization concerns, unlike…— Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) May 22, 2025

**Post News Title:** “Inclusion-Time Proving Challenges Multileader Consensus in Blockchain Systems”

However, the post shows that inclusion-time proving is not only hard to achieve performance-wise (especially considering that in some systems, inclusion-time/realtime is actually much less than eth’s 12-second block time), but rather fundamentally contradicts the idea of multileader consensus. Multileader consensus introduces parallelism, leading to inclusion-time execution uncertainty, thus preventing the attachment of an inline proof

**Inclusion-Time Proofs: Revolutionizing ZK Collaborative Proofs**

At first glance, inclusion-time proving seems crucial for enabling atomic composability between multiple based zk rollups/logic-zones. It solves the dependency problem in one shot: we either all collaborate to create a collective proof—attached directly to the transaction—or we…— Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) May 22, 2025
