What Is Ethereum’s ‘Data Availability' Problem, and Why Does It Matter?
Separate “data availability” layers could reduce congestion on the Ethereum network by making it easier for ancillary “rollup” networks to verify that transactional details exist and are available to download if needed — without actually downloading them. The concept might offer an alternative to Ethereum’s own proposed solution, seen as years away.

Layer-2 Blockchain Starknet's ‘Quantum Leap’ Upgrade Goes Live, for Speedier Transactions
The upgrade for Starknet, a layer-2 blockchain or "rollup" to the Ethereum blockchain, went live following a community vote that overwhelmingly agreed to deploy it to mainnet.

MetaMask Developer ConsenSys Brings Layer 2 Blockchain ‘Linea’ to Ethereum Mainnet

Polygon 2.0 Roadmap Calls for ‘Unified Liquidity,’ Restaking, New Chains on Demand
Polygon, a staking solution for Ethereum, says its new architecture will include a shared bridge and a “coordination layer” that connects all of Polygon’s chains, with an emphasis on zero-knowledge technology that has become one of this year’s hottest blockchain trends.

Ethereum’s Layer 2 Teams Want You to Clone Their Code
By making their code open source and easy to replicate, projects including Arbitrum, Optimism and zkSync are making it easier for copycat blockchains to steal away their users – in pursuit of broader ecosystems of related networks.

Delphi Digital Leads $5M Seed Round for Money Market Protocol ZkLend
Three Arrows Capital and Starkware also invested in the round, which will go toward additional hiring and the launch of zkLend’s core products.

Ethereum Gets an Upgraded Scaling Testnet – And It's Actually Years Ahead of Schedule
The zkEVM test network will be the first of its kind and could change the Ethereum scaling landscape in the near future.
