The latest edition of The Rollup Coaster, a bi-weekly newsletter published by Taiko, offers an in-depth exploration of the Ethereum ecosystem. Authored by Taiko’s researcher Jünger, this edition delves into various cutting-edge topics such as rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, based sequencing/preconfirmations, Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and MEV/PBS.
Highlights 🎢
The newsletter highlights several significant developments in the Ethereum space. Max Resnick joined a recent episode of Bankless, discussing the state of rollups, the future of Layer 2 solutions, and the scaling of Layer 1 itself. Additionally, Succinct Labs announced a collaboration with Optimism, enabling the construction of a ZK rollup with SP1 on top of the OP Chain.
ZK and Rollup Research 🧙
This section is expected to cover the latest research and advancements in zero-knowledge proofs and rollups, although specific details were not provided in the summary.
Based Sequencing and Preconfirmations 😎
The newsletter also dives into the concept of based sequencing and preconfirmations, which are crucial for enhancing the efficiency and security of blockchain transactions.
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) 🫣
The Zero Knowledge Podcast recently hosted Andrew Miller, who discussed his background, the evolution of TEEs, and their current status. The newsletter also mentions a joint effort by Livshits and Miller on applying TEEs to consensus through a project titled “Rorqual: Speeding up Narwhal with TEEs.”
MEV/PBS 🔍
The section on MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and PBS (Proposer-Builder Separation) is expected to provide insights into these critical aspects of blockchain economics and security.
