You will soon be able to use the Cairo tracer on the rust-based version of the VM (cairo-rs).
The tracer will show you the memory cells, registers and also allow you to evaluate expressions. Cooking some other cool ideas as well to make the tracer way better than before 👀

This is really impressive. However, these costs are still pretty expensive.
If you do some rough math on the cost then
Base = 4M txs/day * $0.0061/tx = $24,400/day
Optimism = 500k txs/day * $0.0134/tx = $6,700/day
Those are per day costs.
Now, obviously users of Base and

L3s suck bro, just use this new meta layer we've created
> oh wow, so i can use my current L2 and just interoperate with all agg layer chains?
no, all agg layer chains need to use the same bridge on the L1
> oh ok, so I can submit proofs to the L1 directly and update the state?
L3s are worse than L2s.
Don’t fall for marketing gimmicks that are selling inferior technology or, even worse, making disguised attempts to overthrow Ethereum down the road.
Why are L3s worse than L2s?
1. You can customize everything about an L2 just like you can on an L3.
Saying that EVM is the future because it's being used by majority of the smart contracts devs is like saying we should stick to PHP back in 2000s.
In long enough time frames, best tech almost always wins.

I don't wanna spill the beans, but the new stwo prover for cairo manages ~8Mhz proving on a laptop.

We deployed our own appchain using the Starknet Stack thanks to
@apoorvsadana
This allows us to launch app specific smart contracts for our own unique use cases.
Once we have Stwo and Cairo Native in production, we should be able to get very fast transactions and fast proving at the same time. Also, Cairo will be a great DSL for smart contracts as a whole.
This is Stwo-good-to-be-true!

Ethereum's scaling ecosystem has grown vastly, with rollups taking centre stage.
While boosting activity, most rollups often stick too close to the EVM, hindering innovation: an L2s biggest advantage.

I like
@zksync
's take on this. L2s and L3s in an interoperable ZK ecosystem have no major difference. The small differences can be abstracted away with good tech. App chains won't care if it's an L2 on L3 because the UX and DevX would be pretty much the same. There would be other
