24 Oct 2025RISE Chain: real-time EVM L2 with 10 gigagas throughputArgues RISE is under the CT radar versus MegaETH and Monad, having raised on Kaito at a $200M FDV. Lists its 10 gigagas throughput, continuous block building, shreds, PEVM on Reth and Celestia DA.ThesisL1/L2Ethereum

23 Oct 2025Real-time EVM chains compared: Monad, MegaETH, RISE, Sei, SonicSide-by-side of real-time EVM contenders with their throughput and latency claims: Monad L1, MegaETH L2, RISE L2, Sei GIGA and Sonic.MapL1/L2Ethereum

23 Oct 2025General-purpose EVM L2s and the case for network extensionsArgues Ethereum does not need 50 vanilla EVM L2s and favors specialized L2s and Solana-style network extensions that add functionality. Notes the unresolved question of L2 value accrual to the L1.ThesisL1/L2EthereumSolana
