11/ The cost per tx on all these different L2 execution layers overall strongly varies tho.
Pls note the below visual only includes Ethereum rollups, uses a different metric (cost/tx) than the blockworks report (cost/MB) and that the data is sorted based on TVL, not cost.

15/ This fee changes based on a target utilization of total subnet validators registered on P-Chain, not based on the amount of economic activity on the subnet itself.

14/ But back to
@zksync
Era. What are people doing onchain?
Activity peaked between Dec 2023 and Feb 2024 when airdrop farmers flooded the chain in the hope of a juicy $ZK allocation.
On Dec 25th 2023, the chain reached ATH activity with >557K daily active addresses.

➊ 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞
Programmable general-purpose blockchains like Ethereum brought us smart contracts, which allows devs to build apps on-chain without having to build an entire blockchain for their use case.
This sparked an era of on-chain innovation that

10/ EIP-4844 & specialized, modular DA layers like
@CelestiaOrg
,
@AvailProject
or
@eigen_da
solve the DA problem.
Rollups that publish data to
@CelestiaOrg
are the evidence, being even cheaper than EIP4844 rollups and reducing data cost by >92%, with some paying only ~$0.20/MB.

25/ Additionally, it has caused performance issues with many
@Cosmos
chains being susceptible to DDOS attacks due to a poor mempool design.
.
The
@cometbft
mempool is poorly designed.
Cosmos teams need to build an alternative system asap.
Happy to help or if someone wants to give me a grant,
@iqlusioninc
can hire a team and build one.

17/ As the above chart shows,
@blockworksres
found that post ACP-77, subnet validation in this case would be more cost-effective than an Ethereum-based rollup and easily cost-competitive with a Celestia-based rollup configuration.

13/ The most extreme example is
@starknet
though with 70% of the assets on the network is just $STRK, which is currently sitting at a huge FDV with a relatively low float.
The composition of the value secured on the network is worrying.
📉 Starknet is getting worse every day, lol
▸TVL on Starknet is $1B, but $700M of that is $STRK (70%)
▸The amount of stablecoins on a network is a clear indicator of its opportunities. If there's barely any stablecoin circulation, it means people don't see a reason to move

Since 2020, over $4 billion has been siphoned from DeFi, losses that could have been prevented for a fraction of the cost. How?
By integrating an incident response protocol that will act as soon as a malicious actor tries to

12/ However, the visual does show that the rollup cost composition has changed significantly post EIP-4844 for many.
Often, compute is now the key cost component. What that means in the example of

@blockworksres
also points out that while rollups lack native interop standards (for now),
@Cosmos
chains (that have IBC) have historically suffered the issue of "tech debt", which has hurt its flexibility.
The thing that has always bothered me about the SDK is how it forces you to do things “the way the sdk does them”, without allowing for flexibility.
Things like modular encoding, allowing spinning up secondary services and generally giving the developer more control around how

12/ It will then however be in a situation akin to
@MantaNetwork
where the total value secured on the chain is $777M, but 64% is $MANTA.
A large % of native token in total value secured hints at an ecosystem that struggles to attracts external assets.
