I watched the fierce discussion of the overseas community on “Layer3”, and felt particularly interesting: Some people saw the data that repeatedly compressed the chain sleeve doll, and some people saw the atomic communication capabilities of ZK as the underlying architecture of technology.I saw EIGENLAYER’s AVS pledge+a wider application scenario.How to understand the extension of Layer3?Let me explain my understanding:
1. Because layer2 and layer3 are theoretically dependent on the main network settlement, a common assumption is that Layer3 compresses the data first, and then submits to Layer2 for secondary compression, which is equivalentCriticism and doubt, because once you imagine Layer4 and Layer5 in a similar architecture, this method will be squeezed into the dead alley. After all, data cannot be compressed.
2. In fact, the interaction method of Layer3 and Layer2 may not necessarily have to be compressed and compressed.In the Layer3 strategy planned by many Layer2 Stack stacks such as Arbitrum and ZKSYNC, Layer3 is defined as the Specific application chain, which will highly autonomy in consensus mechanisms, GAS Fee selection, economic models and other aspects.Independence, its underlying architecture may be restricted to apply the basic Infra built by Layer2, such as sharing key components such as Sequence and Prover with Layer2 chain.
This means that Layer3’s transaction will be submitted to the main network to confirm the final state by packaging directly through Layer2’s Sequencer.Layer2 is more connected to the interactable operation function between Layer3 multi -chain. The so -called “settlement layer” is only a settlement of data packaging, not the final firming settlement.Layer3’s transaction also needs to be lined up for packaging on Layer2. The Layer3 application chain is used as a special Sequencer pipeline to make sense.
3. If the form of layer3 is the form of the chain doll, the scalability is naturally limited, but this practical method is only theoretical assumptions. If you can share key components such as Sequency and Prover according to Layer2 and Layer3, there are many ways to make Layer3 moreThe chain horizontal expansion, especially after the interactive operation of the chain is enhanced.
1. As the founder of ZKSYNC@Gluk64 said, based on ZK technology as a basis for interactable operations between multi -chain, because ZK technology can allow two CountParty to verify the authenticity of the information without disclosing specific information, when Layer3 shouldWhen cross -chain assets are across the Layer2, the asset atom transfer between the chain can be achieved through the ZK Bridge straight street, and there is no need to consensus or other treatment between the chain.
The bridge technology blessing of ZK technology allows the foundation of Layer3’s multi -chain expansion, because no matter how many Layer3 appears, “technical settlement” is achieved by directly through ZK Proof and Layer2, which will not affect the relationship between Layer2 and the main network.Items
2. Like the founder of Eigenlayer @Sreramkannan, let Eigenlayer’s AVS active node be coordinated to coordinate the consensus between different multi -chain across chains, which is equivalent to allowing the same batch of nodes to participate in consensus construction between multi -chain.Layer rewards and punishment SLASH mechanisms will theoretically reduce the possibility of node self -evil.When nodes approval assets from Layer3 into Layer2, if there is a evil behavior, it will be SLASH.
This type of reward and punishment economic mechanism will also be applied to a credible problem in a multi -chain environment. Although it cannot reach 100 % credible as ZK, it can roughly shape a trusted environment based on economic models.
4.@VitalikButerin’s discussion on its own positions, and also jumped out of its own point of view. Layer3 cannot be simply stacking and extended for Layer2, which does not bring effective expansion.Because Layer3 depends on Layer2 as infrastructure, Layer2 cannot achieve endless expansion, not to mention Layer3.But in some specific scenarios, for example, privacy, Layer3 specific privacy application chain can solve some transactions’ preference for privacy.
In short, Layer3 is a highly customized function and the possibility of customized expansion.In my opinion, the expansion of Layer3 should give application scenarios for custom development and expansion. The development paradigm similar to one -click hair chain cannot go through the multi -chain direction in Layer3.
