Is it Morphing Time Yet? | Layer 2 Review

Quick Reads and Hot Links Covering the People and Projects Who Are Scaling Ethereum


Dear Frens,

We may be seeing some drastic measures regarding rollup nomenclature and standards as Vitalik Buterin recently announced his decision to only recognize L2 solutions that are at least Stage 1 as from next year. Projects that remain at Stage 0 decentralization may not be recognized or regarded to as rollups on Ethereum.

Stylus went live on Arbitrum mainnet on September 3, flinging the doors wide open for traditional developers to build on the network using WebAssembly (WASM)-compatible languages. This exciting development unlocks powerful use cases with WebAssembly smart contracts which are interoperable with the EVM.

Base is poised for another significant growth phase following the launch of Coinbase’s wrapped Bitcoin, cbBTC. According to coinbase’s announcement, the wrapped BTC token will be supported on the layer 2 network and Ethereum.

In this issue’s editorial, the author introduces us to Morph, a budding layer 2 network on Ethereum. Will it find sustained use cases or just fade away after initial hype? Stay tuned as we provide you with latest insights and developments around the world of Ethereum’s layer 2.
