In either scenario, DST shows significant promise in helping to solve several issues that have been identified in sequencing today. We believe DST is a practical solution that L2s/rollups of all kinds should consider implementing.

For most Ethereum-equivalent rollups, like @optimismFND , implementing #DST shouldn't require a heavy lift. The rollup has already adopted most of Ethereum's infrastructure and code. BLS signature support is one of the few changes needed to implement DST on the L2.

DST does not require rollups to decentralize. In a distributed sequencer, a central organization can remain in control of sequencing by operating the entire cluster. These entities can forego the PoA-type setup described earlier and remain centralized.

Sequencer decentralization won't follow a "one-size-fits-all" model. Single sequencers are problematic for most rollups considering the single point of failure risk. For rollups less interested in decentralization, it still offers benefits.

DST's ability to achieve fault tolerance while also promoting greater client and geographic diversity provides an important improvement in liveness. It ensures rollups continue to operate even when one or more components fail. This is an almost universal need across rollups.

Through DST's flexibility, rollups can approach decentralization as they choose and still achieve the liveness guarantees they need. A game studio's app-specific rollup might remain centralized and a general-purpose rollup might use it as a step towards maximal decentralization.

Users can expect to receive their airdrops in the near future as Quicksilver wrapped up its incentivized testnet and will be launching soon. Mainnet is expected for late-August / early-September. Q3 / Q4 should be exciting for liquid staking in the Cosmos.

This is attainable as staked assets never leave native chains when liquid staking on Quicksilver. But…how? Well Quicksilver uses Interchain Queries so assets remain on their native chain as a user mints their qAssets. For both security and UX purposes, this is optimal.

Despite its promise of solving many of the biggest issues in blockchain, ZK remains an immature technology. Among its major issues is its long proving times. As ZK applications have advanced, so have the complexity of their proofs.

MSMs are elliptic curve dot products that can be simplified to the problem of elliptic curve addition. The bucket method is a technique used to accelerate MSM by parallelizing it on hardware.

4/ Even VCs have trouble getting access to founders & teams in Crypto to assess strength and character. Companies who validate and invest in projects like @Figment_io @FigmentCapital have a unique early view by providing blockchain services and working along side them.

Through the LSM + Interchain Accounts, Quicksilver can rapidly and seamlessly onboard any Cosmos-SDK based zone in a permissionless manner. Even better, it’s able to do so limitlessly and without any onboarding effort required from the zones themselves nor their validators.

Sui’s tokenomic model is unique in that it attempts to maintain stable gas prices despite variance in network demand (and token price). To do this, the network sets a Reference Gas Price (RGP) at the start of every epoch. Sui epochs are 24 hours long.

To solve this, a number of teams have begun working on software and hardware that can accelerate zero-knowledge proofs. In this piece, we provide an overview of ZKP acceleration.
