The rise of Layer 3 and Lisk solutions has brought new possibilities to the Ethereum ecosystem. In this article, Scroll researcher Yicheng will discuss in depth the main advantages of L3 and the development of Scroll, as well as the future exploration directions that he personally expects.
The rise of Layer 3 (L3) and Lisk solutions brings new possibilities to the Ethereum ecosystem.
Although through"Rollup set Rollup"Achieving exponential scaling may not be feasible, but focusing on L3 for custom features, custom extensions, and weak trust extensions (Validiums) is a promising approach.
Having an EVM-like L2 Scroll as the base layer gives developers and users a powerful choice. This allows them to enjoy the familiarity of the EVM execution environment, low gas costs, and the flexibility to build any desired execution environment.
The future landscape of the Ethereum ecosystem is likely to consist of simple L1, scalable L2, and custom L3 solutions.
Key benefits of L3 include:
Highly customizable: L3 solutions can create any desired execution environment and DA (data available) solutions, developers can deploy Cairo on top of Scroll to obtain a more favorable execution environment for ZK, build privacy chains, game engines , and even migrate other L1s to the Ethereum ecosystem as L3 to share its benefits. They can also choose any desired DA scheme, such as committee or DA chain, which is especially beneficial for enterprise-level blockchains.
Efficient inter-chain interoperability: Ideally, all inter-chain interactions will take place on L2, eliminating the lengthy confirmation period for withdrawals and the high gas fees associated with L1 transactions.
Reduced costs: L3 solutions not only reduce the cost of interoperability between chains, but also reduce the average cost per transaction. While it may not be possible from a computational perspective to stack data layers for quadratic scaling, L3 batch release costs are still low by generating one SNARK for many SNARKs.
Compared with the current zk-Rollup, L3 transactions do not require a large number of transactions to release batches, which shortens the confirmation time, improves user experience, and reduces costs at the same time. This feature also makes L3 highly adaptable and customizable.
As a native zkEVM, our core principles are built around security and decentralization. At the same time, we are also exploring the innovative "Beyond Scroll" solution, which allows users and developers to build without restrictions on the base layer.
As an infrastructure provider, our top priority is to ensure robustness and stability. However, as an L2 solution, we also aim to be more powerful, L1 and L2 have different philosophies, and we are exploring more design space to support more specific functions.
I'm personally very excited to explore the following directions:
Shared decentralized prover network;
weak governance"Proof of Aggregation Protocol"；
Trustless cross-chain interoperability scheme;
A more secure L3 consensus protocol.
