Crypto Twitter is Wrong: This is How Rollups *Really* Work
Duration: 00:21:51
Speaker: Kelvin Fichter
Type: Talk
Expertise: Beginner
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
It's 2024, L2s are a critical part of the Ethereum scaling roadmap, and everyone *still* gets Rollups completely wrong. If you think that Optimistic Rollups and ZK Rollups are real things, that Rollups need sequencers to create blocks, or that Rollups need proofs to be secure, you've been completely and utterly bamboozled by the Crypto Twitter intelligentsia. It's time we take back the truth - this is How Rollups *Really* Work.

Keynote: The REAL state of L2s
The evolution of Layer 2 solutions has been pivotal in scaling blockchain technologies. This talk, led by L2BEAT founder Bartek Kiepuszewski, delves into the current landscape, recent advancements, and future potential of L2 ecosystems. It will try to address some myths and current challenges of the space. Some important changes to L2BEAT risk framework will also be announced.

ZK in Rollups: Full Validity Proving on the OP Stack
Historically, zkEVM rollups have been difficult to build, requiring deep cryptography expertise that makes customization and maintainability complicated and time-consuming. With advancements in zk, zkVMs make it easy for any developer to write ZK applications with Rust. With a zkVM, we've created seamless way to upgrade ANY existing OP Stack chain to use ZKPs in just 1 hour. These rollups get fast finality, cost-effective (<0.1 cent / tx), and full EVM equivalence.

ERC-3668 on Linea: built-in, trust-minimized L2 to L1 data retrieval
ERC-3668 (aka. CCIP-read) enable L1 contracts to access Linea state. No special library need to be integrated, everything is built into the protocol and secured by Linea's zero-knowledge proofs. During this presentation, we will go into the details of how this works, the benefits and use cases you can start building today.

Wtf are based rollups and preconfs?
The rollup-centric roadmap is critical for scaling Ethereum but has introduced fragmentation of users, developers, and liquidity. But don't worry, based rollups are here to save the day! But wtf is a “based rollup”? And wtf are these “pre-confs” that usually get talked about together? The focus of this talk is to demystify these concepts and try and get more people engaged in the based rollup ecosystem, which has the potential to heal Ethereum’s fragmentation problem.

Next Generation Based Rollups: A Practical Approach to Unifying Ethereum
I plan to speak on the concept of based sequencing (based rollups). I want to not only introduce the concept but also explain recent developments (what I like to call next generation based rollups). This includes based preconfirmations, fast->realtime proving, customizable composability, practical synchronous composability, among others. I will introduce I also plan to provide a brief summary to my Bankless Summit talk on ETH value accrual in the presence of based rollups.

L2 Specific MEV Mitigation Strategies
MEV mitigation and prevention has primarily been researched in the base L1 Ethereum layer. This talk explores L2 specific strategies, including the future in the event of decentralized sequencing. We explore emerging EIP proposals and drafts (EIP-7640), the use of intents in L2s and other new constructions.

Scaling autonomous worlds - building the foundations… and sewers for millions of inhabitants
One tends to think of Ethereum scaling in financial terms—how many transactions per second? What’s the TVL? How much liquidity? But in a possible future where Ethereum applications extend beyond finance, into areas like autonomous worlds, games, and social, what does scaling look like and what challenges await? Join us as we explore challenges, solutions, and open questions in this space—how do we bring latency down despite seconds-long block time? Could we shard an app across multiple chains?

Speedrun Rollups: A Beginner's Guide to L2s, ZK, and WTF People are Talking About on Panels
The L2 landscape has grown, both in terms of size, but also the development of the tech and the new problems that need to be solved. This talk aims to take you from zero to hero, equipping you with the history, development, and current state of L2s, so you can maximize your Devcon experience without having to carry around a dictionary to understand WTF people are talking about.

Transitioning from an L1 to an L2: A case study
This talk will cover the learnings from cLabs' experience rebuilding Celo from the ground up as an L2. We hope that it can be a useful case study for other L1s to follow.

Ecosystem Development Best Practices, and why we need to start with builders first
Given the myriad of chains out there, it is increasingly crucial for L2s to solidify their ecosystem building playbook and constantly refine it to win over (and more importantly, retain) users and builders. As an ecosystem builder in SEA (Thailand) who has worked with over 10 ecosystems including other L1s, on local, regional and global initiatives, I am excited to share the ins and outs of ecosystem building from a neutral perspective.
