Opening shots fired in the ZKR vs OR war of 2023 😁 I have a ton of respect for
@sgoldfed
and the whole
@arbitrum
team. I just have a different view, that the best way to scale Ethereum is with ZK, not optimistic rollups. Here's where I disagree with Steven's thread...🧵

There's a narrative out there that ZK Rollups will be able to do everything that Optimistic Rollups do but better. The way this story goes is that we're just waiting for ZK rollups to be ready, but as soon as they are, they win hands down. Let me tell you why I disagree 🍿🧵

I'll end with a prediction as well. 😃 There will be a true, full-featured zkEVM in production on mainnet before any Optimistic Rollup (supporting the EVM) has permissionless fraud proofs.

Our team has been hard at work adding incredible features to the Arbitrum stack. Lots more to share on this soon. And I'll end with a prediction: you'll be able to write Rust contracts alongside Solidity on Arbitrum before we see a true, full-featured production zkEVM.

I legit went to a call last week and on video, I couldn't figure out whether I was talking to AI generated person or a human. What is rude to ask-are you an AI or human?

ORUs are limited by execution throughput of base layer in event of fraud challenge, no? e.g. block with 100M gas would require many L1 blocks to binary search for fraud zkVMs have extremely cheap verification clients, they'll be more decentralized + have more throughput

Why I think Polygon is going to be the home of defi innovation in coming next 2-3 months. While people have focused on narratives ->builders have been going at it hard, solving problems. A 🧵 on unique, novel protocols being built natively on Polygon. #polygonOriginals

He taught me to be a Catholic set against the dictatorship of relativism; he formed my piety, awakened me to the beauty, truth & perennial power of the ancient mass. His life was principally a conversation with God — and we are beneficiaries of that. Eternal rest, Benedict XVI.
