Justin Bons, founder and chief investment officer of Cyber Capital, has sparked a polarizing debate in the crypto community with a scathing critique of the current Layer-2 (L2) solutions on Ethereum. The founder of the oldest crypto fund in Europe described networks like Arbitrum, Base and Optimism, designed to improve Ethereum’s scalability by offloading transactions […]
For years, Optimism was missing a core feature at the heart of its design: "Fault proofs." On Monday, that tech is finally here.
The zkEVM, called Kakarot, already in testing, will be available via the Starknet Stack.

The upgrade allows layer 2 solutions to store data in "blobs" instead of the expensive call data.
A key element of the upgrade is to enable a new place for storing data on the blockchain – referred to as "proto-danksharding," which gives room for a dedicated space that is separate from regular transactions, and at a lower cost.
The upgrade is designed to usher in a new era of cheaper fees for the growing array of layer-2 networks that operate on top of Ethereum.
Eclipse mixes tech from Ethereum, Solana and other blockchains.
