Ethereum & Layer-2s On-chain Data Highlights

So, in terms of on-chain data in Ethereum and Layer-2s, there is a sharp drop in Total Value Locked and Transactions on the ZK Rollup technology side after the recent zkSync Alpha Mainnet. Whether the crypto market bull or bear, the whole Ethereum and Layer-2s Ecosystems keep building.

Vitalik releases updated Ethereum roadmap diagram
After the Merge, the following phases are Surge, Scourge, Verge, Purge, and Splurge. The Ethereum roadmap now includes a new phase named “The Scourge,” which focuses on assuring trustworthy and credible transaction inclusion. It also aims to address the issues of centralization and censorship that arose during the Merge by switching to proof-of-stake.
MEV issues on Ethereum involve using bots to exploit network transactions, leading to congestion and high fees. Another update is to the fourth section, the Verge. It will now focus on verification and not just “Verkle trees.” Buterin explained that the endgame of the section is fully SNARKed Ethereum.
