In case you missed it... we’ve had an incredibly useful feature running quietly on L2BEAT for a while now, but we never officially shouted it out. It's time to finally shine a spotlight on the Updates section.

We are glad to announce that the L2BEAT Interoperability Dashboard now supports @megaeth, @worldnetwork, and @unichain. Users can now track cross-chain flows, token distribution, and the underlying bridge infrastructure for all three networks. 🧵👇

Today is a big day for all @Starknet fans: its proof system is finally 100% reproducible from the sources, verified by L2BEAT ✅ Starknet no longer risks demotion to Stage 0 in 70 days, and the red warning is gone 👇See what we did in this thread👇

❤️🤝

@fluentxyz is now on @l2beat An Ethereum rollup built for blended execution, EVM and Wasm contracts (with SVM planned) calling each other in one tx on shared state. Ships with Prints, an on-chain reputation layer that apps use to profile users across the chain.

Silence, vibe-dashboarders! Today, L2BEAT releases the Privacy page. We visited Ethereum's privacy protocols and scrutinized their CROPS 🌽.

Earlier this week we confirmed @Lighter_xyz's desert verifier reproduces byte-exact from public source. Today, we explain what that actually means for exchange risk. Every centralized venue runs on one trust assumption: you trust the venue to give your money back. Lighter is an exception 🧵

Esta re bueno para comparar!

Token Frameworks are now live on L2BEAT! A dedicated place to explore this specific category of interoperability solutions. You can see which frameworks are dominating the space (spoiler: OFTs) which are moving the most volume, how fast, across which chains, and for which tokens. Here's what these frameworks are, why they matter for risk, and what the data is telling us 👇

@Ronin_Network is now listed on L2BEAT. The gaming-focused chain best known for Axie Infinity has completed a major milestone - migrating from an independent sidechain to an Ethereum Layer 2. Here's what you need to know. 👇

For the first time, all ZK circuits used by Lighter perp DEX L2 were regenerated from sources by L2BEAT! Now you don’t have to trust the Lighter team to perform a permissionless emergency exit. 👇Learn more in the thread👇

We have updated the L2BEAT Interoperability Dashboard with a new feature: Top Protocol. This addition allows users to identify at a glance which infrastructure provider is facilitating the most volume across specific routes or the entire ecosystem. 🧵👇

We are excited to announce that the L2BEAT Interoperability Dashboard now supports @HyperliquidX and @Lighter_xyz Users can now track cross-chain volume, transfers, tokens & protocols distribution, connecting both ecosystems to the wider landscape.

We just listed @gnosischain! This is part of our adjusted focus that started with interop and includes more blockchains than those fitting strict Ethereum L2 criteria. Gnosis Chain became of interest because of its strong similarity to Ethereum, not only its EVM execution environment but also its beacon chain and consensus mechanism. It also has a canonical bridge that secures over 300M USD-equivalent value. The recent announcement of the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ, @etheconomiczone) teases a tighter integration of chains that join it, possibly allowing synchronous interop between Ethereum and a future Gnosis Chain.

L2BEAT is on the ground for @ETHCluj! @kaereste will be representing our team across several technical sessions. Here is the first batch of events we are participating in, starting with our own governance meetup. 👇

Happy Friday! Just a friendly check-in on the @Givethio QF round. 🛰️ If you believe in independent research and want to support what we do, stop by and say hi with a small donation. It’s the number of supporters that makes the biggest splash in QF, so every single person counts! 👉 qf.giveth.io/project/l2beat 👈

L2BEAT team is in Prague for @EthPrague! 🇨🇿 We’ve got @bkiepuszewski, @kaereste, and @sergeyshemyakov roaming the venue all weekend. If you’re around, come say hi! We’re also taking the stage on Sunday! Here’s where you can find us 👇

We updated the 'Exit window' part of our risk rosette to reflect the worst-case delay, which typically occurs when there's an emergency upgrade path. There are currently only 4 chains with an unconditional non-zero exit window: @aztecnetwork, @0xFacet v1, @ethscriptions, and Zk Money v1 (Aztec v1).

Yesterday we introduced the Stages for Validiums and Optimiums. Today we examine the technical nuances of this framework and why a Stage 1 Validium/Optimium remains fundamentally different from a Stage 1 Rollup.

Stages for Validiums & Optimiums are now live on L2BEAT! Until now, the Stages framework only applied to rollups. This change closes that gap by taking into account the extra trust assumptions that come from the DA Layers.
