Public goods need public support, and initiatives like the @thedaofund QF round on @Giveth matter more than most people realize.
We participated in the latest round, and here's our update on how those funds are being put to work. ๐
The security of a trusted setup depends on its participants: if all of them colluded, arbitrary proofs could be forged. A single honest contributor makes that impossible.
You can support Privacy Pools today by contributing your entropy and spreading the word to get the participant count up ๐
A perp DEX differs from a CEX if it delivers two things: property rights over your collateral, and verifiable execution.
We spent some time looking into how @Lighter_xyz and @HyperliquidX actually hold up against both. The answer is more nuanced than either camp wants you to believe. ๐งต
dYdX's team is building on Ethereum again - this time as @arcus_xyz, a DEX on Robinhood Chain.
Happy to welcome them back to the Ethereum ecosystem and excited to see what one of DeFi's most experienced teams will bring to it!
dYdX is now Arcus.
A leading DEX on Robinhood Chain.
24/7 trading on 95 stock tickers with 0% fees, and liquidity from top institutional market-makers.
Huge congrats to @RobinhoodApp and @Offchain on Robinhood Chain mainnet going live ๐, and shoutout to the teams already shipping on day one!
Companies choosing to build on Ethereum is the trend we love to see.
Our assessment of Robinhood Chain is coming soon, stay tuned ๐
Congrats to @ethereuminsti on the launch!
Ethereumโs institutional adoption needs focused engagement, practical guidance, and someone to point them toward the CROPS-aligned integrations that a neutral foundation makes possible.
Great to see a team dedicated to that work!
Last week at @JoinFutura, @donnoh hosted a panel on Rollups Beyond Scalability.
Hereโs what panelists Ben from @arbitrum, Paul from @Celo, and Igor from @gateway_eth think about the purpose of L2s and the role of the L1.
Link to the full panel in the comments!
Aztec Labs' @aztecnetwork is now fully permissionless! This makes it more autonomous, resilient, permissionless, and arguably less secure than before.
Wait what?
For the first time, all ZK circuits used by Lighter perp DEX L2 were regenerated from sources by L2BEAT!
Now you donโt have to trust the Lighter team to perform a permissionless emergency exit.

New on L2BEAT: detailed pages for every interoperability protocol we track. ๐
Each page breaks down a protocol's activity - volume, flows between chains, top tokens, transfer times, and individual transfers, all in one view.
Available now for all 34 protocols we support.
Recently, @aztecnetwork launched with 4000+ permissionless sequencers and protocol-level privacy built in - a first among L2s and something that our framework does not take well into account.
So we need to rethink how we measure censorship resistance. Read our article and take part by providing feedback! ๐
Weโre thrilled to unveil our new Interactive Interop page - a visual map of how value moves across the ecosystem.
The ecosystem is no longer a list of silos. Our interactive hub lets you visualize the connections between 15 chains and 33 supported protocols. ๐
