summary
Claims that EIP-4844 dramatically lowers calldata cost and shifts the bottleneck onto rollups, with optimistic L2s now racing to scale to gigabit sequencing (Base aims 1 Gbps) and many teams exploring shared sequencing and base sequencing for fast, secure cross-rollup execution. Polygon’s AggLayer is an opt‑in neutral asset layer, EigenLayer enables restaking but restaking is not inherent leverage nor Terra‑style printing, and bridges remain a risky stopgap while on‑chain identity, MEV/bot mitigation, and institutional plays from BlackRock and Stripe push adoption amid regulatory fights.
