Huobi Ventures Weekly Report #2
Huobi Ventures Weekly Insights
Insight provided by Jinbin Xie of Huobi Ventures
zkSync released an updated and high-performance zkEvm virtual machine — Yul-LLVM. Arbitrum announced the launch of Arbitrum One in the second half of August, which to some extent kicked off the beginning of Layer 2 Summer. Ethereum’s EIP1559 is online, and the projects with leading Gas Burning rankings are basically DEX, Gamefi, NFT and other sectors. But with the launch of Rollup Layer2, more and more transactions can be moved to Layer2 to enjoy lower gas and faster confirmation. At the same time, there is also the security guarantee that the Ethereum mainnet brings to Rollup Layer2.
With the blessing of Rollup Layer2, we can see the outbreak of more sectors in the second half of this year. Stay tuned!
The deployment of Connext’s Ntxp protocol makes assets among different Layer 2 solutions composable. Since the non-custodial model is adopted, it can reduce the risk of cross-chain bridge asset attacks to some extent. We believe that in the future, more and more small-amount transactions like Gamefi, NFT, DeFi, etc. will be generated on Layer 2. And Layer1 will focus on large-amount and safety-concerned transactions then.
