(1/17) Hi there Lensters! I usually do this thread in Twitter and wanted to try out doing it here because decentralized social media is quite clearly a more exciting proposition! So here we go, let's see if I can do a thread about Layer 2 protocol developments and education materials! 🧵👇
(17/17) That's it for this week! As always I hope this thread was helpful and educational. See you next week! 👋
(16/17) Curious how @MetisDAO is working toward decentralization? Metis CEO @ElenaCryptoChic explained the vision this week in a YouTube livestream!

(15/17) Did you know @l2beat is launching a full bridge risk framework soon? I can barely wait but in the meantime check out this useful 🧵 from @bkiepuszewski on how @SynapseProtocol works! twitter.com/bkiepuszewski/status/1566385854372790273?s=21&t=2uTLtTRHsQH8y1_CDhVIHQ
(14/17) @Stanford held a Science of Blockchain Conference last week, and it was full of education materials about the blockchain space and also about Layer 2 protocols and technology! If you missed it videos are available!

(11/17) @arbitrum has upgraded to Arbitrum Nitro! Faster, cheaper, and overall more pleasant to use. 🎉 medium.com/offchainlabs/arbitrum-nitro-one-small-step-for-l2-one-giant-leap-for-ethereum-bc9108047450
(10/17) Excited about zero-knowledge rollups and ZK proofs but woefully unprepared to deal with all that math? 🤯 Here's a great primer by @gryptooo on ZK proofs that doesn't rely on all those scary equations!

(7/17) Have you heard of @starksheet? Starksheet is like a block explorer where you can bookmark calls and whose results can be used in other contract calls! Give it a try! twitter.com/starksheet/status/1566779606115442690?s=21&t=
(6/17) Educational materials for #StarkNet and @CairoLang abound, and this one is really exciting! Learn the basics of contract writing in StarkNet! twitter.com/starknet_intern/status/1565618591860494336?s=21&t=tLOHi93vyHOjxS1IkOiIIg
(5/17) If you've been following my threads for a while you know that the #StarkNet ecosystem is growing very quickly 📈. @barretodavid announced a biweekly newsletter to help you stay up to date! Nifty! twitter.com/barretodavid/status/1564612538427375621?s=21&t=qbIR3T-zWvF_Ugrh3I6M7g
(4/17) I haven't been able to stop thinking about this @CairoLang code for #Bitcoin transaction validation since I saw it! This means that Starks and Cairo can be used for Bitcoin without changing the protocol. Whaaaat is this sorcery? 🧙♀️ 🤯twitter.com/dimahledba/status/1564964848085106688?s=20&t=bLr5hjQi9poxKBien8xhOA
(3/17) Excited about @SpecularL2's EVM-native rollup? Well, hold your horses 🐎 because @kelvinfitchter has some concerns about this design. Here's a 🧵! twitter.com/kelvinfichter/status/1564292115601014785?s=21&t=TjO8LTr7-VTj2ifEQO8k-Q
(2/17) @SpecularL2 announced their Layer 2, the first EVM-native optimistic rollup. This means that fraud proofs are generated at the EVM instruction level, potentially supporting better L2 client diversity and upgrade transparency!
