How Ethereum Layer 2 Solutions Have Evolved: From Rollups to zkEVM

How to Use The Realtime Messaging API in Velo

With over 9 million transactions AdEx Network is currently the largest payment channel network on Ethereum. Here's how we did it A short intro to state channels and payment channels - what are they and why are they needed Scaling is one of the biggest obstacles that blockchains face when it comes to achieving mainstream adoption. Most blockchain applications are still slow, operation costs are high, and transfer of information is limited. This is why the concept of state channels was embraced with high hopes by the community when it was first introduced. Anyway, during the first three years since the idea was introduced, there were no production-ready implementations, just occasional rumours and beautiful dreams. It took a while before we witnessed usable state channels implementations like the Lightning Network for example. To put it simply, state channels refer to the process in which , or ‘off-chain’. Multiple interactions between two users don’t need to be stored on the blockchain, important is only the initial and the end state between them. This saves time and resources from the need to write multiple repetitive transactions or states on the blockchain. users interact (send funds or change the state of smart contracts) with one another directly outside of the blockchain are one application of the state channels technology where scaling is used for between two participants. These transfers can be performed instantaneously and without any involvement of the actual blockchain itself, except for an initial one-time on-chain creation and an eventual closing of the channel. As the name implies, most suitable . Payment channels unlimited, bidirectional transfers payment channels are for exchange of cryptocurrency What payment channel networks are out there? The biggest payment channel network is , having $9M locked on chain. When it comes to Ethereum solutions, there are several projects focusing on payment channels but the biggest ones that are live (operational and having some funds locked on chain) are , and . Bitcoin’s Lightning network AdEx Network Raiden Network Connext is an off-chain scaling solution, enabling near-instant, low-fee and scalable payments on the Ethereum blockchain, working with any ERC20 token. The Raiden Mainnet launched in late 2018 and its aim is to become "the Lightning Network for Ethereum". At the moment, Raiden network has and . On 12 August it had 4.57 WETH total network deposits, or around . Raiden Network 278 open channels 78 unique accounts 860 USD provides non-custodial layer 2 payment channel technology that enables instant off-chainpayments with low transaction costs. Connext launched its own its Dai Card in March 2019. The Dai Card hosts an Ethereum wallet in the user’s web browser. Users can load the card with Dai (or ETH, which will automatically be swapped for Dai). Once funded, the Dai Card can be used to send instant payments to any other Dai Card holder. On 12 August Connext had a total of locked and it is gradually growing. Connext $12K DAI How did we end up building currently the largest payment channel network on Ethereum? AdEx Network has always been a solution for digital advertising, so we didn’t start the project with payment channels in mind, but we quickly realised we needed such a solution. There is a large number of interactions between advertisers' side and publishers' side on the platform - impressions are reported and per-impression payments are carried out, and this is why scalability is crucial. For AdEx, using payment channels has a few important benefits: - , it allows us to , and that’s a huge UX improvement. In AdEx, the only on-chain transactions that you need are opening a campaign (as an advertiser) and withdrawing your earnings (as a publisher). Users do not need to learn what payment channels are or how they work, they only need to deposit/withdraw funds to AdEx. Firstly minimize the number of on-chain transactions - , because making payments does not incur any extra fees, we can (or any other type of payable event). This means publishers have a guarantee they can withdraw their revenue at any given time, unlike traditional systems where you can only withdraw your earnings for set, usually long periods, and/or only if you reach a certain threshold. Secondly use micropayments for each individual impression But , since the payments are per impression, this a publisher out of their earnings. This also makes reporting completely transparent, because you know about every impression and how much was paid for it, in real time. We decided to call our own payment channels technology - Off-chain Unidirectional Trustless PAyment ChannEls. The two most important features of OUTPACE are that it’s strictly unidirectional, which simplifies the architecture, because it does not require exit games/watchtowers, and It allows multiple parties to be paid from a single channel (one-to-many). most importantly eliminates any possibility that an advertiser would cheat OUTPACE The latter is very useful for AdEx, since advertisers on the network usually will pay many publishers, using one-to-many payment channel. For more technical details on how OUTPACE works, you may want to we wrote when we first introduced the technology 8 months ago. OUTPACE is open-source by the way, you can find it on GitHub. Now let’s talk some numbers. read the article More than 9 million impressions in less than two months At the end of June, we decided we were ready to release the latest version of our platform after testing it in closed beta. First, we started rolling out our ads via AdEx Network on our other product - the media center Stremio, serving more than 100,000 daily ad impressions. We quickly added a few other publishers - two of them being among the most visited websites in our home country. We quickly added supply of 8 of the most popular display ad positions and at the moment we have a total of 11 publishers on the platform. In less than two months, website visitors generated more than 9 million impressions on AdEx Network. This means more than 9 million payment transactions, all settled on Ethereum. We just surpassed Connext by the amount of funds locked on chain with 12,000 DAI currently locked up on-chain, so it is safe to say that at the moment AdEx Network is the largest payment channel network on Ethereum by locked up funds, and by number of transactions. You can check our stats in real time on our . Our payment channels are so efficient, that hundreds of thousands of impression payments get settled in , costing a mere 0.10$ in gas fees. Explorer one Ethereum transaction The technical details of our payment channels In AdEx, each advertising campaign is an OUTPACE channel. The channel works by exchanging messages between it's two validators. The two validators are equivalent to channel participants in Lightning/Raiden (see Alice and Bob in ). Those messages can be used while the channel is active, by any earner in the channel, to withdraw their funds on-chain. this example Currently, the AdEx Network has two validators, which we've named Tom and Jerry. Anyone can run a new validator, or just explore the codebase. Check out the . GitHub repository The AdEx Platform interacts with Ethereum for depositing funds, opening campaigns, withdrawing earnings from campaigns (called "channel sweeping") and withdrawing funds. To facilitate paying transaction fees in DAI, as well as scheduling transactions and multi-device authentication, we use a "smart" wallet, described in our . Identity contract Let's walk through the full process, with examples: is open by invoking channelOpen on the ; this transfers DAI from the user's wallet and locks them up; see 1. A channel core contract an example will automatically submit metadata about the channel to the validators, which will ensure it does indeed exist on-chain, and will start receiving events (impressions, clicks) for it 2. The Platform will detect that the validators have started processing the channel, and it's state will change from Ready to Active in the Market and the Explorer 3. The Market will start showing ads from the campaign this channel is tied to 4. The AdView will send impression/click events to the validators, who will update the balances of earners (publishers) by exchanging NewState(balances, signature) and ApproveState(signature) messages between themselves 5. The AdView who's earned from this channel may withdraw, by calling and submitting the last signatures from the validators, along with a merkle proof of their balance in the balance tree; they may withdraw from multiple channels in one transaction ("sweeping"), thanks to our Identity contract, as you can . This particular transaction withdrew value incurred from ~159k micropayments, from 4 channels, and cost only $0.16 in gas fees. Keep in mind, the gas costs do not increase with larger amounts/more transactions. 6. Now a publisher channelWithdraw see here : the users see the total funds they have, no matter if on-chain or on channels. If you try to spend all your funds at once, the Platform will automatically "sweep" all channels first, making all your funds spendable on-chain. In the Platform, step 6 is automated , you can read . For more details on the inner workings of the protocol our protocol docs What’s next? is a good number to start with in the context of blockchain transactions - but for ad impressions, it is modest. We are just starting to test AdEx Network and by the end of the year we are aimed at onboarding few hundred advertisers and publishers, so we believe numbers will rise significantly and they might become even more impressive pretty soon. 9 million Are you interested in AdEx?

How we built the largest payment channel network on Ethereum

Web3 payments provider Transak has listed 11 new meme coins on its platform, including viral tokens PNUT and WIF, marking a significant expansion in the accessibility of community-driven digital assets. The move adds to Transak's existing support for established meme tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and PEPE. The platform's decision comes as meme coins demonstrate increasing real-world utility beyond their internet origins. PNUT, which emerged from a viral story about a euthanized squirrel, achieved a $1 billion market capitalization in 11 days – outpacing Dogecoin's initial growth trajectory. WIF, a Solana-based token featuring a dog wearing a hat, reached the same milestone in 81 days. These tokens have begun to show social impact beyond market performance. FLOKI, named after Elon Musk's Shiba Inu, has funded educational infrastructure in developing nations, including a technology-equipped school in Nigeria. MOODENG token holders have channeled funds toward anti-airborne disease research through coordinated sales with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Transak's platform, which serves 8.3 million users across 160 countries, processes transactions through various payment methods including credit cards, bank transfers, and digital wallets. This infrastructure now supports emerging tokens like GOAT, which reached $1 billion in market value within 37 days, and NEIRO, a tribute to the Shiba Inu that inspired the original Dogecoin. From a technical perspective, these integrations represent a shift in how on-ramp services approach cryptocurrency accessibility. Traditional platforms have historically limited offerings to established cryptocurrencies, creating barriers for users interested in emerging tokens. Transak's expansion suggests a maturation in how payment providers evaluate and integrate new digital assets. The financial implications of this move extend beyond individual traders. With 350 platforms utilizing Transak's API-driven infrastructure, the integration potentially influences broader market accessibility. This could affect trading volumes, market liquidity, and the overall adoption trajectory of meme-based tokens. However, market participants should note that meme coins, despite their growing legitimacy, retain significant volatility and risk characteristics. The rapid market capitalization achievements of tokens like PNUT and WIF also indicate the potential for substantial price fluctuations. This development occurs against the backdrop of evolving cryptocurrency regulations worldwide, with Transak maintaining compliance across its operational jurisdictions from its Miami headquarters. The company's approach to meme coin integration may set precedents for how regulated payment providers balance user demand with regulatory requirements in the digital asset space.

How we treat 'dirty' jobs reveals something about us—both IRL and online. This past summer, I got sidetracked by a hidden pattern. At every event and co-living space I went to, the same weakest link kept surfacing: tasks people ignore or simply don’t want to do (ie cleaning) ˙◠˙ Even the smallest cleaning task, when overlooked, impacted everyone’s experience.

Avoidance in Decentralized Systems If you consider yourself a systems thinker, chances are you’ve mastered ✩₊_˚._⋆_mental gymnastics_✩₊_˚._⋆. Acrobatic moves to bend the mind and avoid the uncomfortable. This complex reasoning often leads to avoiding essential tasks. DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) promise shared governance and community-driven decision-making. Think of them as socio-technical experiments, revealing how we engage with governance. In practice, however, people neglect their roles in maintaining the system. Voting or contributing to governance, like cleaning, is often overlooked.

Meanwhile, machine-driven blockchain mining quietly powers the foundation that keeps everything running. Blockchain mining is labor-intensive, requiring machines to perform millions of calculations to validate transactions. Miners are rewarded for tasks that few would willingly do due to high energy consumption and hardware demands. By outsourcing this ‘dirty work’ to machines and distributing it across a decentralized network, the system remains resilient. As the industry evolves, solutions like Ethereum’s shift from PoW to PoS show how digital systems can handle their ‘dirty work’ to ensure sustainability. Maybe there’s a lesson in that for us? Creative Glory Versus Essential Labor This viral quote implies that creative work is superior to cleaning, and most people agree without hesitation. It’s an ominous reflection on society. Are essential laborious tasks truly beneath human dignity? I recently volunteered to oversee the cleaning of the busiest toilets at a 500-person event. What was supposed to be a simple oversight role turned into me doing the actual cleaning—because no one showed up. Watching people avoid helping was comedic (and it was heartwarming when a few legends pitched in ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡). I channeled Mike Rowe's energy from Dirty Jobs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Ogf6zWuMM&embedable=true It revealed a deeper truth: we don’t value the work that keeps things running. In many countries, it’s completely normal for families to have a domestic worker. The idea of cleaning is confusingly unholy in these places. Cleanliness has long been seen as sacred across cultures and philosophies. Zoroastrianism, a religion over 3,000 years old, views physical cleanliness as a reflection of cosmic order, tying mundane tasks to a higher spiritual purpose. Fast forward to 20th-century architect Le Corbusier, who believed that well-organized, clean spaces were essential for human creativity and productivity. Despite the vast time gap, these perspectives remind us that cleanliness supports the larger systems we rely on.

SINGAPORE, September 11, 2024 - Hybrid cryptocurrency exchange GRVT (pronounced “gravity”), ZKsync’s first official Validium ZK Chain, is thrilled to announce its partnership with 16 leading industry market makers, including Galaxy Trading Asia Limited., Ampersan, Amber Group, IMC, Flow Traders, Pulsar, QCP, Selini, and more. The strategic alliance, bolstered by a commitment of $3.3 billion in monthly trading volume from over 40 institutional clients, reinforces GRVT as a trusted hub of liquidity and market stability, particularly during volatile market conditions. This achievement comes even before GRVT’s Mainnet launch, scheduled for Q4 this year, underscoring the market’s high anticipation and confidence in GRVT’s hybrid concept that combines the efficiency of TradFi with the secure settlement of blockchain technology. GRVT’s Open Beta Testnet is currently live, with more than 2.5 million users registered on waitlist. Sign up here now. Commitment to Deep Liquidity, Market Stability and Trader Confidence Amid the recent turbulence and the crypto market’s inherent volatility, the demand for deep liquidity and stable trading environments only grows stronger each day. GRVT’s collaboration with industry giants enables the exchange to handle large orders with minimal slippage, delivering tighter bid-ask spreads and lower trading costs for both retail and institutional traders. These measures are essential in maintaining a stable market environment, enhancing trader confidence and ensuring continuous, reliable trading activity. “We are deeply grateful for the trust our partners have placed in us,” said Hong Yea, Co-Founder and CEO of GRVT. “Making money in financial markets is challenging. GRVT envisions a platform where anyone can trade anything in one place. These collaborations are one of the very first and critical steps towards our mission to offer a convenient and efficient platform for deploying investment strategies, trading, and generating self-custodial wealth in an open, trustless environment through exchange liquidity, smart contracts, and community distribution.” John Cahill, Chief Operating Officer at Galaxy Trading Asia Ltd., said, “Platforms like GRVT are pushing the boundaries with innovative hybrid models that blend the strengths of TradFi and DeFi to offer deep liquidity and crucial infrastructure needed for efficient, secure trading across digital asset options and other derivatives. The commitment from leading industry players and the substantial liquidity being channeled into this space underscore the vast opportunities ahead.” Darius Sit, Founder and CIO of QCP, said, “A pressing need has emerged for solutions that address critical issues in asset safety, data privacy and trading efficiency. GRVT's approach offers a very promising path forward and we are thrilled to be part of the development of a more secure and efficient ecosystem.” Christophe de la Celle, Chief Commercial Officer at Selini Capital, said, “With the DEX landscape rapidly evolving, the competition among some remarkable incumbents is intensifying. Among the 2024 cohort of new challengers, GRVT stands out as a leader. Their approach is both professional and well-structured, with a strong focus on catering to both professional and retail traders. We are excited to partner with GRVT and look forward to the significant impact they will have upon their launch.” Daniel Ku, CEO at Ampersan, said, "Decentralised trading platforms will continue to be an important part in the growth of the crypto trading industry. They can bring diversification of counterparty risks while still allowing price discovery across many assets and product types. GRVT is well-positioned to address these needs within a scalable, high-frequency infrastructure. As a key market maker, Ampersan is excited to collaborate with GRVT in bringing a liquid and performant platform to the market.” Martin Cheung, Head of Options Trading at Pulsar, said, “Partnering with GRVT is an important step for Pulsar as we enhance our trading capabilities. GRVT’s innovative infrastructure is a refreshing complement to our trading needs, offering the agility and security that are essential in the crypto markets. Onboarding with GRVT will undoubtedly strengthen our existing strategies, helping us maintain our strong track record. Together, we are poised to become a key force within the crypto ecosystem, driving market efficiency and growth.” Michael Lie, Global Head of Digital Assets at Flow Traders, commented, “This new partnership is another step forward in increasing our proximity to innovation occurring in the digital assets space. GRVT’s approach combines the benefits of centralized and decentralized finance. This is particularly relevant for market makers and liquidity providers like Flow Traders, because we’re at the intersection of TradFi and DeFi and therefore deeply aware of the trade-offs that users face today. GRVT’s unique approach is a significant step forward in improving usability and accessibility for a broad range of users.” “As we look ahead, we’re excited about GRVT’s roadmap and the innovative developments we have in store, which will further strengthen our platform and continue to build confidence among our users and partners alike.” added Yea.
