L2BEAT 💗
@l2beat
L2BEAT is an open-source, public-good analytics and research platform dedicated to L2 scaling solutions 💗
ZK Catalog v2 is coming & we want your feedback! 🫵 As part of the expanded framework, we’ve drafted a proposal for trusted setup evaluation. Whether you’re building a project that uses a trusted setup or just a zk enthusiast, check the forum and let us know what you think! 👇
Our research leads @bkiepuszewski & @donnoh_eth joined the @cartesiproject team to unpack rollup standards, risks, and recategorization - and what it really means to raise the bar for Ethereum scaling. This is the freshest L2BEAT take on the L2 landscape you’ll find - tune in!

Would you like to see more fleshed-out, RWA-focused analytics on L2BEAT (yes, stablecoins included)? 👀
Worth noting: @arbitrum and @Starknet are already fully compliant Stage 1 rollups ✅ No action needed from them for this framework update 🫡
In <7 days, all Stage 1 rollups not meeting new Security Council requirements (announced 6 months ago) will be downgraded to Stage 0 Good news - @Optimism, @base, @unichain, @Scroll_ZKP, @inkonchain, @KintoXYZ are all working on required fixes Let’s see who makes it in time 👀

Had the pleasure of showcasing some basics about @l2beat website and different L2s with the amazing @OctantApp team 🙏 If you’re L2-curious but overwhelmed by data and technicalities, this livestream could be your gateway to our glorious Ethereum ecosystem 🫡

It's time to take an hour of your Sunday and use it to level up on all things Layer 2s. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out L2s, you're not alone. Why do different L2 stages matter? Why are state validation and risk analysis important, and how can you use…
Scroll team is preparing to meet the new Security Council standards too! 🫡📜 That leaves @KintoXYZ as the only remaining Stage 1 rollup that still needs to address the concerns to avoid a downgrade to Stage 0.
Scroll will enable a new pause controller module (github.com/scroll-tech/sc…) next week to satisfy the new Stage 1 requirements.
With upgraded Security Council setups approved by OP governance, @Optimism, @base, @inkonchain & @unichain will stay Stage 1 rollups - great to see them step up. 🫡 Last two Stage 1s affected: @Scroll_ZKP & @KintoXYZ. We hope to see them address it soon!
Superchain Upgrade 16 just passed OP Governance and will go live next week. Key components of this upgrade include: - Smart contract changes to support the road to interoperability. - Increased decentralization and security, meeting @L2Beat’s updated criteria for chains to…
Why are the numbers on L2BEAT different for @arbitrum than on @DefiLlama? Check this flash talk by @hubkotl at @stable_summit and never have to ask again!
⚡ @hubkotl, Head of Go-To-Market at @l2beat, explained why not all TVL is equal, and why trust assumptions matter. From stuck funds to safe exits, L2BEAT’s risk framework shows where your assets really are. Watch the talk on rollup risk and shutdowns: youtube.com/watch?v=vFyNUo…
Native rollups aren’t just a dream - they’re on the horizon. And our very own @donnoh_eth is leading the charge on the research side. Make sure to catch his talk at the @BanklessHQ summit and everything else we’re bringing to @EFDevcon in Argentina. 2025 is the year of L2s!
happy to announce that i’ve started deeply researching native rollups to make them a reality, and that i’ll be speaking about it at the next @BanklessHQ Summit II in Buenos Aires, alongside other amazing speakers :) if you wanna chat about native rollups, DMs are open!
