Justin Drake & Federico Carrone on Ethereum’s Native Rollup Roadmap

For today’s episode, we take a deep dive into native rollups.

While rollups improved Ethereum's scaling, they introduced key challenges like centralized control, MEV extraction, buggy execution, and fragmented liquidity across layers.

Luckily, there's a new method aiming to maintain rollup benefits while eliminating these issues.

Native rollups and based sequencing offer a solution. By integrating directly with Ethereum, native rollups simplify operations and enhance security. Based sequencing lets Ethereum validators manage transaction ordering, improving L2 coordination.

Teams are also considering shifting away from centralized sequencing for regulatory compliance.

We sat down to chat with Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation and Fede to discuss this rapid transition and its implications for Ethereum's future as well as key insights for anyone following Ethereum's scaling evolution.

Let's get into it.
