Thesis26 Oct 2023The Stack Wars: OP Stack, Polygon CDK and Arbitrum Orbit comparedArgues builders now choose tech stacks rather than chains. Compares OP Stack (optimistic, Superchain), Polygon CDK (zkEVM with proof aggregation layer and POL security) and Arbitrum Orbit (L2s need DAO approval, L3s permissionless), with adopters.Thesis16 Mar 2024Polygon AggLayer: ZK proof aggregation and atomic cross-chain composabilityArgues aggregation is modularity's end game: the AggLayer aggregates ZK proofs from CDK and external chains, settles on Ethereum, and offers atomic cross-chain bundles and async calls at low latency. Expects zkSVM and zkMove chains on CDK.Thesis15 Feb 2024NEAR as modular infra: DA, fast finality and chain abstractionThesis that NEAR leads the modular narrative through a sharded DA layer, an EigenLayer fast finality layer and chain abstraction via account aggregation. Covers EastBlue's Bitcoin account vault model built on NEAR.

13 Nov 2024Espresso mainnet: shared sequencing and fast confirmations for AggLayerExplains what Espresso offers L2s: HotShot fast confirmations, decentralized sequencing and cheap DA. Argues a planned Polygon CDK integration would let AggChains plug into shared sequencing and improve cross-chain composability.ExplainerL1/L219 likes

05 Jul 2024Synchronous atomic composability: Radius shared sequencer with Avail NexusExplains how Radius's shared sequencer orders cross-rollup bundles for atomic execution while Avail Nexus adds cryptographic guarantees through proof aggregation. A demo moved 50 wUSDC between two Polygon CDK chains in one bundle.ExplainerL1/L2ZK17 likes

22 Mar 2024Polygon as Type 1 zkEVM plus CDK plus AggLayerShort thesis that Polygon is converging on Type 1 zkEVM equivalence with faster parallelized provers, a modular CDK and the AggLayer, with zkSVM, zkWASM or zkMove provers likely added later.ThesisL1/L2ZK14 likes

10 Nov 2023Manta Pacific passes $24M total value bridged during MantaFestNotes Manta Pacific total value bridged exceeded USD 24M, with a Celestia DA integration expected to make it one of the cheapest L2s and a planned move to a Polygon CDK based zkEVM. Promotes MantaFest points and NFTs.DataL1/L2ZK41 likes
