Special thanks to Jinglan Wang for review and feedback One question that often comes up is: how exactly is sharding different from sidechains or Plasma? All three architectures seem to involve a hub-and-spoke architecture with a central “main chain” that serves as the consensus backbone of the system, and a set of “child” chains containing actual user-level transactions.

One of the key tradeoffs in blockchain design is whether to build more functionality into base-layer blockchains themselves (“layer 1”), or to build it into protocols that live on top of the blockchain, and can be created and modified without changing the blockchain itself (“layer 2”).

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

Bitcoin layer-2 solutions are rising in 2024, including state channels, sidechains, and rollups, as Bitcoin's market dominance grows. The post Bitcoin layer-2 landscape “set to boom” as BTC keeps outperforming: Bybit appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
The vote passed with overwhelming support, with 65 addresses representing 14.6 million CELO tokens signaling approval for the measure.
Sasha Mitchell is Head of Operations at BeL2. Imagine if Bitcoin could talk to other blockchains, make deals, execute contracts, and expand its influence without ever compromising its integrity. That's BeL2, the Bitcoin Elastos Layer 2 Protocol.
The next era of Web3 will be defined by the ability of projects to attract and retain users, says Kelly Ye of Decentral Park Capital. Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 is showing the way forward.
CLabs officially proposed using Optimism’s OP Stack for the transition. The proposal will be discussed on a couple of community calls and then go to a vote among holders of the project's CELO tokens, under the chain's governance rules.
Avail shared in a blog post that 354,605 wallet addresses are eligible to claim the 600 million tokens in their “unification drop.”
In case you missed it, Bitcoin Season 2 released part of its Spring/Summer collection last week.
