Layer2

Share

Layer 2 protocols are secondary frameworks built on top of Layer 1 blockchains to enhance scalability and reduce transaction costs. By utilizing technologies like Optimistic Rollups and ZK-Rollups, L2s like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base process transactions off-chain before finalizing them on the mainnet. Following the 2026 Ethereum upgrades, L2s have become the primary execution layer for retail users. Stay updated on interoperability, fractal scaling, and the reduction of gas fees across the modular Ethereum roadmap.

Fusaka Hard Fork enters in Hoodi Testnet

Fusaka Hard Fork enters in Hoodi Testnet

The post Fusaka Hard Fork enters in Hoodi Testnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Fusaka hard fork reached its final testnet milestone when Hoodi activated on Oct. 28, 2025, beginning a minimum 30‑day window ahead of a tentative Dec. 3 mainnet target. What did the Hoodi testnet activation prove about Fusaka and PeerDAS? When were Holesky and Sepolia used in testing? Hoodi represents the third and final Fusaka testnet, following earlier activations on Holesky and Sepolia in October. As reported by The Block, the sequence exercised client interoperability and cross‑client syncing under the new rules. How does PeerDAS (EIP-7594) change data availability sampling? PeerDAS, specified in EIP-7594, enables validators to sample smaller segments of layer‑2 data rather than downloading full blobs, improving practical data availability sampling for rollups and other layer‑2 solutions. “Hoodi represents the third and final testnet deployment,” the coverage noted, underscoring the staged rollout. Experts say PeerDAS should lower bandwidth and storage pressure for many node operators and make partial sampling viable for Ethereum layer‑2 data validation. Client teams reported actionable bug reports from Hoodi that narrow the remaining compatibility work. How will Fusaka upgrades affect block gas limits, blob capacity and Ethereum layer2 data handling? What is the block gas limit increase? Fusaka includes proposals that raise the block gas limit to allow more on‑chain execution per block. Developers expect the change to improve throughput for some workloads, but client implementers will watch resource use and syncing behaviour closely. What does expanded blob capacity mean for Layer 2s? Expanded blob capacity increases the on‑chain attestation space for off‑chain data, which affects how rollups and other layer‑2s batch and verify transactions. Combined with PeerDAS, the aim is to make Ethereum layer2 data handling more efficient without forcing every validator to store full payloads. When will the Fusaka hard fork reach mainnet and what must validators do? The Ethereum Foundation and…

Crypto Three Kingdoms Extra: When Wall Street's compliance fleet enters the DeFi Yangtze River

Crypto Three Kingdoms Extra: When Wall Street's compliance fleet enters the DeFi Yangtze River

I’ve always wanted to add an interesting spin-off to this Crypto “Three Kingdoms” article: 1) The Crypto Native Narrative School corresponds to the isolated "Shu Kingdom", which is located in the dangerous Bashu area. Vitalik Buterin is the "Zhuge Liang, drawing the Rollup Centric" and "ZK Endgame" as the roadmap of the grand blueprint. Advocating the concepts of governing the country with virtue, such as "Code is Law" and "decentralization", is very similar to Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. It seems to be on the moral high ground, but it is restricted everywhere in the cruel market competition. What about joining forces with Wu to fight against Cao, and conquering the Central Plains in the north? New technology narratives have been introduced time and time again, from DeFi to NFT to layer2 and AI Agent. Just like Ge Liang's six expeditions to Qishan, each one was a grand event, but the application of Mass Adoption was always one step away. Until Zhuge Liang died after devoting himself to his work, developers fled the AI community, leaving behind a dwindling pool of talent and a lack of successors. While I hate to say that idealism was the first to fall, the good news is that the belief in "Han and traitors cannot coexist" and the spirit of decentralization will continue to be the industry's guiding principles. 2) The CEX Exchange Alliance corresponds to the "Wei State" that occupies the Central Plains, with CZ as "Cao Cao", who holds "user liquidity" and "currency listing rights" to hold the emperor hostage and control the princes. They vigorously pursued a "military farming" strategy, establishing a new ICO pipeline consisting of Wallet, Alpha, and contracts, encircling all parties within their own internal market. Fortunately, they prioritized talent, recruiting both technical and MEME-focused investors as long as they could generate trading volume. Consequently, China's national strength reached its peak, crushing all competitors. However, the biggest risk of this approach is fostering too many "parasites"—market makers, project owners, and KOLs—all sucking away revenue. Once problems arise, the entire system collapses instantly. This ultimately created a bustling and prosperous era, but after a wave of vigorous "regulatory arbitrage," it ultimately became a mirage. Ultimately, they will either be "recruited" by regulators, "shorn of power" by internal interest groups, or "usurped" by new forces. This constant spree of "quick money projects" and overdrawing the industry's long-term credit is bound to backfire. It's unclear whether the CEX empire will ultimately be named "Zhao" or "Trump." 3) Wall Street financial capital represents the "Eastern Wu" that controls Jiangdong, with Wall Street institutions like Coinbase and BlackRock and US political figures representing "Sun Quan." They collaborate with the tech-savvy Shu Kingdom to promote decentralized innovation, while collaborating with the Wei Kingdom to develop compliant CEX channels. They partner with whoever is useful, employing a strategic strategy of "uniting with secondary enemies to attack the primary one," carefully strategizing and assessing the situation. Just like the Eastern Wu dynasty, which controlled the Yangtze River, Wall Street has seized the advantage of "dollar hegemony" and its "compliance moat." They control off-chain access with ETFs, on-chain settlement with USDT and USDC, and are infiltrating the DeFi ecosystem with RWA strategies like tokenizing US stocks and on-chain US Treasury bonds. The smartest strategy now is to bide one's time, letting the tech-savvy CEXs fight a decisive battle while they quietly plan and profit. There's no doubt that if the future trend of crypto is toward compliance, institutionalization, and licensing, then the crypto world will ultimately belong to Wall Street. Now you understand why they say the old Northern Wei dynasty might soon be ruled by the Eastern Wu "Trump." The difference is that Trump is not Sima Yi, and he doesn't need to lie low and be sneaky.

Alibaba Subsidiary Drives Attention to its Ethereum Layer 2 Blockchain

Alibaba Subsidiary Drives Attention to its Ethereum Layer 2 Blockchain

The post Alibaba Subsidiary Drives Attention to its Ethereum Layer 2 Blockchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jovay Network has flown under the radar until it mentioned Ethereum in a social media post today. Jovay Network, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network backed by Ant Digital, a subsidiary of Alibaba, is catching eyes today after it proclaimed its alignment with Ethereum on social media. Despite many investors being surprised by the news, Jovay was originally revealed as an Ethereum L2 in April at the RWA Real Up conference in Dubai. Jovay touts itself as financial-grade blockchain infrastructure, focused on global real-world asset (RWA) tokenization via its “modular Layer2 infrastructure that bridges Web2 and Web3.” According to the chain’s block explorer, the network currently hosts $50 million in total value locked, but has only finalized 16,600 total transactions. Jovay Explorer Alibaba Group ($BABA) is the 30th-largest company in the world by market capitalization, with a $385 billion valuation, making it the second-largest company in China. The company first began exploring blockchain via Ant in 2019 with Alibaba Cloud, its blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) platform for supply chain management tasks such as product traceability.
