What is the future of Layer2s and rollups? Main insights from the panel discussion “Advancing Layer 2: Next-Gen Solutions and Breakthroughs” with: John Adler, Co-Founder Celestia Labs Ed Felten, Co-Founder Offchain Labs Ye Zhang, Co-Founder Scroll Alex Gluchowski, Co-Founder & CEO Matter Labs Andy, co-founder @ Rollup 👯 Rollps are everywhere, but fragmentation remains The growth of rollup clusters and modular design has made launching rollups easier than ever. However, interoperability remains a challenge, with fragmented ecosystems relying on bridges and shared governance. True seamless interaction between rollups is still a long way off. interoperability will become the next big focus as rollups scale, but expect it to be slow and gradual. 💽 App Chains are rising The rise of application-specific chains is on the horizon. As interoperability matures, more applications will migrate to their own dedicated rollups, optimizing for custom needs without user fragmentation.   While app chains offer customisation, they also face problems like migrating liquidity and maintaining user experience. The rise of app chains is inevitable, but the ecosystem must evolve to support them. 📅 Web3 is becoming more modular L2s have shifted towards modularity, enabling developers to add features and experiment with AltVMs, pre-compiles, and economic models. This modularity accelerates innovation and drives Ethereum's growth. Ethereum's modular approach strengthens its position over monolithic chains like Solana by fostering a faster pace of experimentation and adaptability. 🛡️ We need to push for decentralisation The ecosystem is at a crossroads, with centralised rollups (like Coinbase Base) potentially dominating. Maintaining Ethereum's ethos of censorship resistance and decentralization is crucial. Community-driven efforts to ensure decentralisation and transparency are vital to counter centralized control, particularly as rollup adoption accelerates.

Applications are open for our Techstars Web3 2025 program, and Pete Townsend and Hugh McGirr thought it was worth sharing some details on how they’re thinking about the next class. Read on below for insights on our 3 verticals to onchain adoption - infrastructure primitives, incentivization and consumerization. All of the links you'll need to learn about the program (fact sheet) and apply to join the Class of 2025 are at the bottom of the post, so check it out! https://lnkd.in/eX6Uc4UP

Scanning the edges for those building towards the openings.. 👀 Applications are open for founders building/enabling open, community-driven, and decentralized technologies. We'll be writing $120k cheques into each team of founders coming into Techstars Web3 in 2025 to #domorefaster and here is how we're thinking about Web3.

We have monumental news to share! Lumos Labs is merging with Buidlerstribe, our allies in fueling the Web3 revolution, to form a new entity called Rabble. For years, we've been on a quest to rally the creative rebels of the developer world and equip you with the tools to build the decentralized future. Today, that quest takes an exhilarating leap forward as we join forces with Buidlerstribe's tribe of visionary founders and startups. Together as Rabble, we unite our collective strengths to create an unparalleled ecosystem for Web3 innovation. A name that captures the unruly spirit driving our movement but also the power of our unified developer community - we are the rabble, and we will decentralize all things. Through Rabble, you'll gain access to a comprehensive suite of resources to unleash your full potential as a Web3 developer. From our legendary learning platform to funding opportunities, accelerator programs, and a thriving community of mentors and collaborators, we're giving you the tools to turn your wildest crypto dreams into reality. As Lando Calrissian said, "We're all in this together, kid." And we couldn't agree more. The path to a decentralized future will be paved by the indomitable will of developers like you.

Life Update: Launching Rabble Labs 🚀 This has been in the works for a while – Lumos Labs and BuildersTribe are teaming up to launch Rabble Labs, combining our expertise and community power. A.k.a Raghu Mohan and I are doing this together again, but this time with our super smart, techno wiz cofounder who wants to stay anonymous. We kicked off Lumos Labs in 2018 to tackle a big issue in the blockchain world – not enough engineers building cool stuff with this tech. To fix this, we launched programs to get more builders into the blockchain space, working with protocols and chains to boost on-chain adoption. We’ve managed over 40 hackathons and over 10 accelerators, bringing 100k builders into the ecosystem. After 5 years of building a community, we nailed down what people really want: Rewards, Jobs, Education, Support, and Recognition. So, after careful thought, we’re merging with Builderstribe, a platform with 2000+ founders and 400+ investors via buidl.so. This will bring more opportunities for the community. Introducing Rabble Labs: Building a suite of on-chain platforms to empower builders. Over the years, founders and builders have shared common pain points: 💠 We need support in terms of network – be it capital, talent, or advisory. 💠 We need support with distribution, hype, and visibility. 💠 We need support with user adoption for our Dapps. We’ve been supporting and solving challenges for builders from day one. Buidl.so: A marketplace for founders to network, and connect with VCs, talent, partners, and experts. Buidl.so – a marketplace for founders to network, and connect with VCs, talent, partners, and experts. Our collaboration with Hitesh Malviya and Dyor Exchange, and the inception of ScribbleDAO, has been a huge success in innovating distribution through research-driven threads on X. Lastly, the user acquisition problem – we’re launching Rabble. I won’t say much here, but you don’t want to miss out. Stay tuned, and keep Rabbling. #Blockchain #Web3 #Startup #Innovation #RabbleLabs #LumosLabs #BuildersTribe

That’s a wrap for the second Prover Incentives from Aleo! “”” In Aleo’s architecture, applications run off-chain while zkSNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs) are published on-chain, verifying the correctness of executions while preserving privacy. This design ensures efficiency and scalability, but generating these proofs is computationally intensive. Aleo's innovative approach allows users to outsource proof generation to third-party proving services equipped with advanced computational resources. To incentivize these services, Aleo introduced AleoBFT, a hybrid consensus algorithm that combines proof-of-stake for instant block finality with a proof-of-work-style "coinbase puzzle." This puzzle rewards the development of faster zkSNARK proving techniques, driving continuous innovation. “”” Read more on the results below!

Hi There! 👋 We’ve just wrapped up Day 3 of the Stellar Startup Camp, and the focus was on one of the most crucial elements of our project—creating a solid technical architecture document. This is essential for ensuring that our platform not only functions smoothly but also scales efficiently as we grow. 🌟 📄 Technical Architecture Document: A well-structured architecture document is vital. It helps us communicate our solution's technical details clearly and effectively. The Stellar Community Fund's technical reviewers will scrutinize this document, so it's crucial that we get it right. 🖥️ C4 Diagrams: We delved into C4 Diagrams, which stands for Context, Containers, Components, and Code. These diagrams are a powerful visualization tool that allows us to represent different abstraction levels in our software system. From high-level context to specific code details, C4 Diagrams help us ensure that every aspect of our platform is carefully considered and documented. By refining our architecture, we're laying down a solid foundation for Worqio, ensuring that we can seamlessly connect taskers and workers worldwide with secure, blockchain-powered transactions. A big thank you to the facilitators and fellow participants for their insights and collaboration. We’re one step closer to bringing our vision to life! 🚀 Stay tuned as we continue this incredible journey! #StartupCamp #Worqio #TechnicalArchitecture #C4Diagrams #Blockchain #Innovation Bigger Stellar Development Foundation
