I know, as soon as this title comes out, your liver may tremble a little~
King? It’s almost dead…
In 2018 and 2020, I saw too much!
One by one, they all went to the rhythm of returning to zero~
Do you guess this time list, will there be a fish that slips through the net to change the fate?
01
Big Four L2
In order to be more stable, the vernacular first writes the most reliable ones first.
After the OP announced the airdrop, I believe that the four major L2s will definitely enter the rhythm of issuing coins in 2022-2023. There is no way, even if you don’t plan to post it at first, and your competitor posts it, you can’t sit still. People are in the rivers and lakes, and what they can’t help saying is this Feel~
The four major L2s now have their own advantages and have come out with a differentiated style.
Arbitrum – currently the best ecological L2, the most open and the most dynamic. Many of the original innovative projects above are quite remarkable. Some time ago, the AnyTrust solution was released, which combines the performance and cost advantages of the side chain with Rollup’s. The security advantages have been combined, which is quite imaginative. In public, it is also a rigid ZK system. I think that OP is more suitable for ETH’s long-term L2 than ZK. I am so confident + domineering.
Optimism – It was originally the “official” L2 of Ethereum in everyone’s eyes. The founder is also a good friend of Uniswap. It is favored by people from all walks of life. As a result, it was overtaken by Arbitrum due to the delayed launch and the whitelist mechanism. Now the ecology and TVL are directly behind. a lot. But now people are the first to issue Tokens! Moreover, the airdrop plan is absolutely remarkable. It has achieved a relatively perfect balance between the wool party and real users. In the future, the OP model will definitely be the benchmark for airdrop reference of many projects.
Starkware – may be the most ambitious L2 . It can be seen from the launch of Dydx, IMX and other L2 application chains. It is also the first project in the industry to propose L3. Starkware does not want to be a decent L2 platform, but wants to use the foundation of ETH to become a Settlement Layer, and then let Appchains such as Dydx and IMX hang on Starkware’s L2 mainnet as L3, which is quite a bit. The visual sense of “overhead” ETH.
Zk-Sync – Different from Starkware, Zk-Sync is more like a ZK version of Arb or OP, focusing on being an open L2 Dapp platform for ETH and becoming a parallel world of ETH. In addition to the zero-knowledge proof technology that is different from Starkware, the difference between Zk-Sync and Starkware is also reflected in temperament. Starkware is more capital elite, while ZK-Sync is more grassroots and open source. As for which one is better Inferior, it is really a radish and greens, each has its own favorite problem.
02
LayerZero
In 2021, the pattern of the future multi-chain universe has been set, and the status of cross-chain or bridge has also been raised.
At first, everyone thought that LayerZero was a cross-chain bridge, but after Stargate issued Token, everyone realized that LayerZero is a bottom layer, and many cross-chain APPs can be built based on it.
The positioning has been directly upgraded from the “bridge” to the “public chain” level.
No, the valuation has also reached the sky-high price of $3 billion, and FTX basically promised to lead this round.
At present, various asset cross-chain bridges and cross-chain message protocols are basically the competition in the Red Sea, and many asset bridges are also transitioning to cross-chain messages . For example, Multichain launched Anycall some time ago, Celer also released CelerIM, plus IBC, XCM, Cosmos, Polkadot’s native cross-chain protocol, and the battle for cross-chain standards are estimated to be a “big show” with the battle for public chains.
At present, the industry regards communication protocols or standards as the bottom layer, which can be based on secondary development. It seems that only LayerZero is the only one . For example, Stargate is an asset bridge that focuses on multi-chain stable currency swaps based on its development. In addition, the security is guaranteed by its own node + Chainlink oracle at the same time. Security problems may arise only when the node and the oracle collude, and it is indeed an innovative design in terms of security.
However, the project also has many problems. For example, it is not open source yet. Except for asset bridges such as Stargate, you can’t see Demo or MVP based on message level transmission. At the beginning, it will only support EVM, such as Cosmos, Solana, etc. The support of the chain is expected to wait longer.
03
Aptos
Aptos became popular because of Diem, and Diem became popular because it was the earliest stablecoin that Facebook wanted to do, but it died prematurely. Now the original version of people is running out, claiming to be another more powerful public chain.
Originally thought that when 1CP went online, the gate of the public chain was welded to death. As a result, they forced another seam out.
1CP was also the king back then. Let’s take a look at the current price, hey… Fortunately, the project and ecology are still advancing in an orderly manner. We will see if there will be any improvement in two years.
So where does Aptos come from? In 2022, it still dares to “open a new public chain from scratch”. What’s more exaggerated is that basically the top streams you are familiar with, such as coinbase, FTX, multi-currency, three arrows , Binance… all voted! All in the car!
So what are the features or advantages of Aptos?
Basically, he and Solana are the same way, they both insist on a monolithic chain, which is incompatible with the current mainstream “modular” public chain paradigm.
There are three biggest technical features:
-
Move smart contract language
It claims to be designed for blockchain security resource management and verifiable execution, and is more standardized and secure than other development languages.
-
Unique BFT consensus protocol
What I have learned so far is a rotating leader block generation mechanism with a reputation system. The consensus algorithm uses an improved HotStuff of BFT. Interested veterans can study this Hotstuff, which is said to be able to achieve the security and activity of the chain. isolation.
-
Safer account key recovery technology
In short, although it cannot be said that there is no innovation, it seems to be a little bit of a feel. It is far inferior to the framework innovation structure of Polkadot, Cosmos, and even ICP, but the capital behind it is really too strong, so it can develop into a What kind of, can’t predict~
04
Celestia
From the perspective of valuation and financing, Celestia may be far inferior to the above several billions of figures. However, there are not many bright projects worth talking about in 2022, and Celestia can definitely be counted as one.
Celestia extracted the DA (Data Availability – Data Availability) layer separately, from the L1-L2 two-layer model, to a three-layer model of L1 (settlement) – DA (data availability) – L2 (execution).
Therefore, Celesita can also be regarded as a representative project of this year’s “modular public chain” Meme.
And people don’t just pack a concept and they use the latest technology DAS – data availability sampling (data availability sampling), and Celestia’s nodes do not run smart contracts, nor do they need to verify the block. Because of the data, Celestia’s nodes can basically run on mobile phones. In theory, it can be quite decentralized. And because of the existence of DAS, the data availability problem has become a problem that can be solved by adding nodes without a brain. , as a service and a “plug-in” of the Rollup system, it is quite concise and efficient.
Of course, ETH2.0 also has similar Danksharding, but according to the style of ETH, when he goes online, he will not know the year of the monkey. . The Celestia mainnet can basically be used this year. At that time, it can not only serve the Cosmos ecosystem (cooperating with EVMOS), but also serve the Rollup chains of ETH in the form of an external DA layer “plug-in” – of course, people use No need to say two things, after all, Starkware, Zk-sync and the like also have their own DA options Validium and ZK-Porter.
Friends, what do you think of the four heavenly kings this year, which are the “Kings of Heaven” and which are the “Death of Heaven”?
