Base is the 4th Stage 1 Optimism Stack-based rollup and the 6th general-purpose rollup overall to achieve this status on our website, marking 2025 as a true "Stage 1 year" for L2s and aligning with vitalik.eth's vision.

back once again! 🤩 we have our local L2 connoisseur Vincenzo returning to the stage, ready to share the latest scaling analytics from L2BEAT 💗 🎟️lu.ma/hkl5jcre

There was a dark period in my life when I used to research projects without these tools

Only 30 days left before the Great Recategorization goes live on L2BEAT 💗. All projects without a proper proof system, or without a proper DA bridge, will be not classified as Rollups or Validiums/Optimiums anymore, but "Others". 🧵

Just created my Circles profile! Looking to get trusted by someone who’s already in the network. Circles app.metri.xyz/p/0x504E1dc4aD…

Are alt-DA L2s a failed experiment at scaling Ethereum ? Few months ago L2BEAT 💗 announced that having an abysmal DA setup where one or two addresses can rug all users' funds, a practice that became prevalent in the space, will result in change of the classification of these

L2BEAT Recategorisation is LIVE! 🔀 This is the biggest update to our framework yet - redefining what it truly means to be an Ethereum L2. 130+ projects re-evaluated. New standards. Clearer definitions. Higher expectations. Here’s what changed - and why it matters 👇

L2BEAT now tracks EigenDA throughput. Here’s what you’ll see: – Daily throughput over time – Maximum capacity & usage – Attribution by project – Finality Quick breakdown 👇

you probably wouldn't believe how many times we noticed that a sequencer or a proposer was down before the teams themselves 😅 now they can just visit L2BEAT 💗 and find out themselves p.s. Pepe Unchained your OP stack chain is down with $250k still left on it

ZK Catalog v2 is coming & we want your feedback! 🫵 As part of the expanded framework, we’ve drafted a proposal for trusted setup evaluation. Whether you’re building a project that uses a trusted setup or just a zk enthusiast, check the forum and let us know what you think! 👇

Taiko is not based anymore, it seems like no one noticed including their marketing team

ZK Catalog just got a major refresh! We’re introducing a public framework to evaluate trusted setups of ZK proving systems across L2-related applications. Goal: make hidden trust assumptions explicit, set clear standards & make it the go-to reference for our ecosystem. 🧵👇

Happy to share the progress done in the past month on native rollups! A new shiny website has been created to collect the spec draft and design ideas, with the goal of providing a starting point for feedback from community members and L2 devs. link at the end of the thread 🧵👇
