"no one even considers building Ethereum L2s anymore"

ehm, what?

[Udi Wertheimer @udiWertheimer]

if anyone wonders why no one even considers building Ethereum L2s anymore, look no further than what they did to blast

pacman was a phenomenal ethereum founder. probably the last one. blur was revolutionary, and blend was probably the last novel defi primitive

when he started blast, he did things differently. he was less obsessed with decentralization theater than other L2s were, and maxed out engagement and growth instead. as a result an ethereum L2 went viral for the first time

what did the ethereum cabal do? they shunned him. attacked him every day. said blast was centralized and unsafe. it got so bad they bullied paradigm, his lead investor, to publicly distance themselves from blast to defend their honor (i obviously don’t know the whole story but sitting on the sidelines it was really sad to see them do that to a founder)

so is anyone surprised paradigm doesn’t want to go through that again? or that no founder wants that? the pseudo-technical ethereum community is toxic and hateful cabal. why bother

oh and don’t get me started with the complete lack of support they’re showing luca with the penguins and abstract

fuck these guys. if you’re a founder, don’t build on ethereum

@vadim_web3 @growthepie_eth 10 that are labeled via OLI and that were EXCLUSIVELY active on Polygon PoS.

150 apps were active across multiple chains.

If you check our page you can see that we track over 100 apps for Polygon PoS.

Is L2s' activity migrating to Ethereum mainnet?

That's the question I tried to answer with @growthepie_eth data for this piece

That's amazing results! 12s bridging/CEC deposits soon? 👀

As per my understanding, no fork required and clients can go ahead and implement FCR

[barnabe.eth @barnabemonnot]

A year of backtesting for the Fast Confirmation Rule confirms (!) that:

- 96% of past blocks would have been fast-confirmed in a single slot. This could mean deposits from Ethereum to L2s or CEXes available in about 12 seconds!
- The remaining 4% are usually confirmed fast too, usually much faster than other, less secure confirmation rules such as k-deep confirmations
- No false confirmation is ever issued

Client implementations continue 🫡

Credible neutrality is Ethereum's superpower. @web3_data of @growthepie_eth on why that matters more than TPS or hype. 🌍

@binji_x For sure in 🥧

[matze | growthepie 🥧 @web3_data]

@marilyn100x Kudos for all your work and trying to help ppl understand Ethereum instead of just shilling stuff or getting into drama - it's people like you and many others that make the Ethereum ecosystem to what it is today :)

@LehmannLorenz @Dune @growthepie_eth 🥧🥰

[matze | growthepie 🥧 @web3_data]

@PantsStanky I don't agree here - Ethereum is constantly evolving. What exactly is legacy technology about it?
Blockchains are first and foremost about trust - and this trust has to be earned. Ethereum has earned it.

[matze | growthepie 🥧 @web3_data]

There's been a big shake-up in Ethereum land in the past months.

Big bummer to see Ryan take a backseat - Bankless did an amazing job educate millions (myself included) while being very entertaining. Their optimism also influenced the name "growthepie".

While the news are sad, I also believe Ethereum and ETH will come out stronger out of all this:
- ETH is a fully digital productive asset
- Ethereum is freedom tech
- Layer 2s are smart business models

Others will step into the roles of Ryan and all the great EFers that left - with new enthusiasm and new ideas.

Ethereum is built for this.

[RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄 @RyanSAdams]

Time to say something out loud.

The first era of Bankless has concluded. A six year collaboration between David and myself exploring crypto, defi, and maximizing Ethereum.

We're in the second era now.

In this second era I'm planning to take more of a backseat role supporting @TrustlessState as he explores new frontiers in crypto and beyond.

I'll still be the pod every week (would never miss a rollup) but less in the role of content direction and guest interviews.

David has the helm. He has my full support.

For my part, I'm still bullish ETH. And bullish Bankless.

@ethersphoenix Only time will tell if I'm mentally ill

[matze | growthepie 🥧 @web3_data]

@KristinaKlaudy1 I wish you all the best Kristy! I remember chatting with you in the Bankless Discord years ago - really appreciate your work 🙏

@RyanSAdams Your input on direction willl be missed Ryan - you're a very sharp thinker with great takes. I'm really grateful that we had the chance to collaborate together on pushing Ethereum forward
