According to the latest information we have obtained, some teams have nearly completed this round of financing. The participating institutions are all top venture capitalists in the industry, and their valuations are quite terrible.

After the release of the first ethereum Layer 2 ecological panorama, many organizations contacted the chain to supplement, and some organizations announced new cooperation plans. However, from a general perspective, the ecology of the head expansion plan is improving quickly Speed development.
Update details
Optimism’s Optimistic Ethereum network and Matter Labs’ zkSync network are the most ecologically prosperous of these expansion plans, and in less than two months, they are also the fastest growing, contributing almost all the progress of ecological cooperation .
Optimism
Optimism has gained the Ethereum DeFi lending agreement Compound (it is mentioned that Optimism will be supported when the public chain project is public), and the Ethereum volatility index volmex.finance, these two specific financial applications, and the web plug-in wallet of Math Wallet has also supported them Testnet.
Matter Labs
On the Matter Labs side, the distributed computing platform golem uses zkSync as the payment network. There is also news that the smart contract wallet Argent is considering adopting zkSync. After a large amount of Gas subsidies and suspension of subsidies, the user growth and total asset custody The volume growth rate has slowed down significantly, and it may be a good strategic choice to integrate a suitable Layer 2 solution as soon as possible.
other
In addition, other updates include Bancor’s announcement that it will adopt Offchain Labs’ Arbitrum Rollup network, and Hermez told Lianwen that in fact, the Ethereum Foundation has already supported them.
Follow-up progress
It is worth continuing to pay attention to the actions of Optimism, Matter Labs and Offchain Labs. According to the latest information we have obtained, some teams have almost completed this round of financing . Participating institutions are all top venture capitalists in the industry and their valuations are also quite terrible .
Optimism will enter the first phase of the mainnet next week (January 15) , and will test specific applications in cooperation with Synthetix, a synthetic asset protocol, and will enter the community public testing phase on March 15. During this time, there may be a lot of cooperation information disclosure.
Matter Labs continued to talk about the capabilities of the Zinc programming language they developed at the zero-knowledge proof technology conference zkSummit at the end of the year. The team once said that the first step can support non-Turing-complete smart contracts. After all, most of the current smart contracts It doesn’t need Turing completeness. The second step is to support Turing’s complete smart contract, and it will soon enter the testing phase.
Offchain Labs’ first application decentralized contract exchange MCDEX has also started the Layer 2 version test . Users can visit the website and use MetaMask for testing.
In addition, Fuel Labs’ Optimistic Rollup network has also been launched on the Ethereum main network on the first day of this year. The current version 1.0 can support transaction speeds of up to 500 TPS, but currently only the command line interface is available for developers Services, user interface wallets and other integrations will be launched in the coming weeks and months. Various ecological applications may also have progress, which deserves attention.
