Zero-Knowledge Rollups
- Over the past few weeks, we have covered some of the leading projects trying to help Ethereum scale, including Polygon, Optimism and Arbitrum.
- Optimism and Arbitrum have used optimistic rollups as a scaling solution, while Polygon has taken a broader approach and allows developers to choose which solution suits them best.
- Yet, they are all exploring how they could use Zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) to scale Ethereum in one form or another.
Convenience is King
- Companies that went public through SPACs in 2020 and 2021 have struggled this year due to inflation and, most recently, a weakening economy.
- SPACs have gotten a bad reputation for making unproven, unprofitable companies public, ultimately leading to a majority underperforming the broader market and a few even going out of business soon after their debut.
- However, SPACs have also taken established companies public, like convenience store chain operator Arko, which has relatively fared better.
