So your layer-2 is ‘secured by Ethereum’ — what does that mean?

Image
The chief selling point of layer-2 blockchains built atop Ethereum — aside from increased throughput — is security. Ideally, it should be faster and cheaper to interact with L-2s, but also as safe to transact as using Ethereum.  Unsurprisingly, in practice it’s complicated and not always black and white. “Security,” in this context, refers to the settlement guarantees on Ethereum mainnet. That translates to how certain a user can be that their L-2 transactions will be finalized correctly — without censorship — and whether assets remain safe from being stolen by the more performant layer-2 . We’re not talking security from smart contract bugs at the level of applications (it’s not about avoiding exploits or rugpulls), but whether the Ethereum Virtual Machine runs the code and reconciles its state per specifications. There’s not a universally accepted definition of what it means to be “secured by Ethereum.” According to Louis Guthmann, ecosystem lead at StarkWare, a key feature of a...

Coinbase's Motion Has Teeth, Pro-Crypto Lawyer Says

Image
Coinbase Motion Has Teeth Commenting directly on the announcement of the motion as shared by Paul Grewal, the Coinbase Chief Legal Officer, John Deaton noted that the exchange’s argument “has teeth.” advertisement He laid down 6 cogent points to buttress his point with the first being that the US Congress has initiated the process of legislation for the industry. He believes this stance of the regulator is a showcase that the lawmakers are ready to address the core issues raised. Additionally, Deaton cited the regulatory gap argument that was publicized through the Hinman emails which also gives the trading platform a better defense. I believe @ Coinbase ’s Motion to Dismiss, based on the Major Questions Doctrine, has real teeth. I’m not saying that it will be granted for sure, I’m just saying it’s not your garden variety motion to dismiss where denial can easily be predicted. The motion has teeth because of… ht...
