after all the crackdown and suddenly there has been nothing but consecutive good news for crypto

interesting

Polygon's proposal to change its PoS chain to become a zkEVM validium

what is validium?
validiums perform computation off-chain and post validity proofs containing the result of the transactions back to Ethereum, not the actual transaction data of the executed transactions.

Compared to sidechains:
- validiums have greater scalability as it greatly extends throughput
- greater security with validity proofs

Compared to rollups:
- validiums have greater scalability
- less security

Welcome to my channel! This channel is an electronic diary of my crypto adventures and learnings.

I share everything about crypto from research, news, trades, and more. Essentially it is whatever I find useful after filtering through all the noise. I also hope to be able to help new crypto investors get a better understanding of crypto (its way too complicated at the start) through the compilation of resources and reads.

use the hashtags for easier referencing and digging of resources

a look into Arbitrum after the airdrop

TLDR;
- Arbitrum's airdrop on March 23, 2023, resulted in a record high in users and transactions. Interestingly, after the airdrop, the daily count of transactions and users has remained consistently higher compared to the chain's historical averages.

- Gas spending on Arbitrum has shown an upward trend, indicating increased utilization of the chain. The value of transactions, transfers, and traces in USD has followed a similar pattern.

- The number of new wallets initiating their first transaction on Arbitrum reached its peak a day after the airdrop, gradually declining over the two-month period but still averaging higher compared to historial averages.

- Arbitrum has maintained a significant share of bridging volume from Ethereum, while smaller entities like Starkware and zkSync have gained notable market share in bridging activities from March to May.

- The long-term impact of the airdrop on user retention is still uncertain. As of now, the ratio of transactions performed by airdrop recipients versus other wallet addresses has steadily decreased, settling at approximately 5%.
