A beginner-friendly exploration of Ethereum rollups through the story of Timmy, explaining:

• How rollups bundle transactions to reduce costs
• Why they're considered crucial for Ethereum scaling
• The difference between optimistic and zero-knowledge rollups

The guide builds on recent discussions about rollups becoming as fundamental as smart contracts in the Web3 ecosystem.​ It explains technical concepts through simple analogies and real-world examples.​

Key takeaway: Rollups are making Ethereum more accessible and cost-effective while maintaining security.​

Liquity protocol is making a significant expansion move with its V2 deployment across more than 15 EVM-compatible chains.​ This development aligns with the growing multi-chain narrative in crypto, addressing key challenges:

• Fragmented liquidity across different chains
• Siloed user bases
• Disconnected user experiences

The expansion leverages ZKsync technology to create an Elastic Chain ecosystem that will:

• Enable shared liquidity across the network
• Allow cross-chain smart contract interactions
• Provide unified user experience with single wallet confirmation
• Maintain low transaction costs and fast processing

This marks a strategic step toward a more interconnected blockchain ecosystem.​

SendingMe has introduced Decentralized Identifiers (DID) functionality, putting users in control of their digital identity.​ The new features include:

• Full user control over digital identity management
• Enhanced privacy protections
• Robust security measures
• Cross-platform interoperability
• Reduced user tracking

This development aligns with Web3 principles of decentralization and user autonomy, eliminating the need for traditional identity intermediaries.​
