Rollup Teams Discuss Progress on EIP-4844 Integration in RollCall Breakout Room
Rollup teams gathered to discuss the progress in adding support for EIP-4844 data blobs, an integral part of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap. The goal is to reduce the cost of storing data on the Ethereum blockchain. Optimistic rollups are ahead in integration, while ZK rollups will take longer due to additional complexities. Some issues were highlighted, such as the lack of tooling for data blobs and API difficulties. Long-term, full Danksharding will resolve these issues. Rollup teams will support both blobs and calldata, using the most cost-efficient option. Additionally, ensuring the availability of rollup historical data will be the responsibility of rollup teams or potentially centralized providers.
We're back with another writeup for the latest RollCall Breakout Room ☎️ Now that Dencun is live on Goerli, and with Sepolia and Holesky just around the corner, rollup teams gathered to discuss the progress being made by each team in adding support for EIP-4844 data blobs. For
Stablecoins for Loan Payments: A New Financial Frontier
**Innovative loan payment strategies using stablecoins** are emerging in the DeFi space. @CupOJoseph from @NeriteOrg discusses how users can maximize compound interest by: - Depositing funds in high-yield vaults (up to 10% APY) - Streaming earned interest directly to loan payments - Automating debt reduction through yield optimization This represents a significant evolution from traditional stablecoin models, which historically faced challenges with negative interest rates in traditional banking systems. *Learn more in the latest Stable School podcast.*

Curve Finance Introduces Enhanced Liquidation Protection
Curve Finance is implementing new liquidation mechanics to better protect user collateral during market volatility. The update aims to reduce the risk of unnecessary liquidations and provide more stability for borrowers. Key features: - Improved liquidation threshold calculations - Enhanced collateral protection mechanisms - More resilient during market turbulence This development follows industry trends toward safer DeFi lending, similar to SmartCredit.io's recent implementation of liquidation probability tracking and preventive collateral adjustment features.
Stablecoins at a Crossroads: Centralized vs Decentralized Paths
The stablecoin ecosystem is evolving along two distinct trajectories: - **Centralized Path**: Stablecoins backed by traditional bank-held collateral - **Decentralized Path**: Fully autonomous, blockchain-based collateralization Industry experts @svobodamichael from Liquity Protocol and @mariamagenes1 discuss these diverging approaches in our latest podcast. This follows recent insights from Triton, highlighting how stablecoins have evolved from ideological debates to practical yield optimization and collateral strategies. Listen to the full discussion to understand which path might dominate or if both models will coexist in the future ecosystem.
Payment Infrastructure Fundamentals and the Future of Stablecoins
**Key requirements for robust payment infrastructure:** - Fast and definitive transaction finality - Low, predictable fees enabling micropayments - Mathematical security guarantees - Scalable throughput - Open access architecture **Stablecoins and payment applications require:** - Cost-effective transaction processing - Ethereum-level security without high fees - Seamless contract deployment - Enterprise-grade reliability Scroll is developing infrastructure to meet these demands, focusing on ZK security and settlement certainty. The platform aims to support the growing Open Economy while maintaining performance as adoption increases. *The future of payments requires infrastructure that doesn't just work today, but scales effectively with increased usage.*
