𝕏 is a game of milliseconds scroll click? comment? millions of decisions every moment driving the machine faster better onward

The launch of Scroll's Mainnet marks a new beginning, with Haichen emphasizing the choice of technology and future development, including infrastructure services and Decentralized Finance applications. Scroll is committed to expanding the influence of Ether and looks forward to the innovation and rise of the Layer 2 market.

In the recent market trends, I choose to focus on UNI. This decision is not solely based on the unique performance of unichain but stems from continuous observation of the data changes in the entire Layer 2 (L2) ecosystem. As a mid-term entrant in the L2 track, unichain has not been particularly impressive in its performance, and its pace of development has been relatively steady. However, in terms of key indicators such as Total Value Locked (TVL) and trading volume, it still ranks in the top five, demonstrating a certain level of resilience. In contrast, the subsequent emerging L2 projects have been disappointing. Most projects lack substantial content and only scratch the surface. Not only is their project progress slow, but their data performance is also unsatisfactory. Overall, these projects exhibit highly homogeneous characteristics, lacking innovation, which has led to their gradual marginalization in the market, making the possibility of a comeback quite bleak. Once highly regarded projects like StarkNet, Linea, Scroll, and Blast, although once in the spotlight, now upon reevaluation, seem to have lost almost all competitive advantages, giving the impression that they have already "died once," with their popularity completely fading. Looking to the future, if UNI can successfully expand its Layer2 business and create a synergistic effect with the existing unichain business, it may only be a matter of time before UNI's market capitalization returns to the top ten. However, all of this requires UNI to stand out in the fierce L2 competition, demonstrating unique advantages and sustained innovation capabilities.

Scroll, an Ethereum Layer 2 network leveraging zk-rollups, raised $50 million, valuing it at $1.8 billion. Despite a cooling funding environment, notable investors participated. Scroll aims to scale Ethereum for a billion users and plans to launch its mainnet soon.

Why is this thing so popular right now? Let me list a few reasons: 1️⃣ Solving the bottleneck problem from the root: While others are still researching papers, this company has already turned ZK computing into a service that can be launched with one click, accessible to everyone. 2️⃣ Practical: It's not just self-entertainment; we have long partnered with Scroll and are currently in real deployment. 3️⃣ PoC Mechanism (Proof of Compute): The more you work, the more you earn; those who calculate quickly earn more. It's not about hype, but about earning through computing power. 4️⃣ ZK Endgame Infrastructure: It's not just a single project; it's paving highways for the entire ZK ecosystem. In the future, zkVM, zkRollup, zkBridge, all of these will have to follow this path. So, in the second half of the ZK world, it's not about competing on concepts, but about who can quickly and efficiently calculate the proofs. Cysic has already taken off at the starting line. Add some comparisons with competitors in the same industry.
