At @gelatonetwork, we are building toward a future where every company has its own rollup, serving millions of users onchain. To achieve this, we are thrilled to announce our $11M raise from an incredible set of new & existing investors.
We raised $11M from @hack_vc, @IOSGVC, @animocabrands to build Web3's most advanced RaaS Platform. Our funding will be used to power the growing wave of rollups on Gelato, such as the newly unveiled @inkonchain from Kraken. This brings our total funds raised to $23 million ↓

The first rollup is being held hostage and unable to migrate from their Raas provider @conduitxyz. This is a no-go for me and shows that the model of chains being controlled by centralized infra providers is broken. Gelato has a solution for this coming out real soon!.
GM Degens,. After careful consideration—since it affects the community most—we’re sharing our difficulties in migrating DEGEN L3 away from @conduitxyz services. They've held our rollup keys hostage for months, and we may need to relaunch a new chain.

VB warns about the slippery slope of ETH re-staking & promotes preserving the chain's minimalism. "there is a natural urge to try to extend the blockchain's core with more functionality, but each such extension makes the core itself more fragile". in practice it will be.

I feel the Ethereum Foundation is pursuing the wrong strategy by trying to compete as a Data Availability layer. It has too much technical debt to win against the new designs & users don’t care about the slightly higher security. Ethereum should have focused exclusivity on.

2024 is the year of next generation DEXs that:. - internalize MEV and provide the benefits of CEX / DEX arbitrage to onchain LPs. - maximize the utility of both traders and LPs at the same time. - democratize market making by removing the need for expensive latency technology.

Current AMMs are broken. A few centralized market makers are increasingly capturing market share, leaving regular retail LPs to fight over harmful toxic flow. 🔥HOT AMM addresses this issue by protecting retail LPs, enabling them to act like professional market makers.
Introducing HOT: An MEV Aware, Intent-Centric AMM Design. TL;DR - better outcomes for LPs and token issuers through a first of its kind intents-aligned approach to on-chain liquidity.

1) Smart contracts enable so much more than just #DeFi or #NFTs, they enable developers to build what I like to call "Serverless Application". An app is truly "serverless" if anyone in the world can use it via a locally hosted UI that not a single party can shut down or censor.
Contract automation has the potential to be a “much larger” market than oracles, says @gelatonetwork’s @hilmarxo – but capturing it is a three-way race between $GEL, $LINK and $KP3R. @Blockanalia reports.

L2s with native account abstraction are the UX endgame. Trying to hack smart accounts on top of existing L1s with ERC4337 is hacky as users are still mostly using EOA wallets. On Gelato zkRaas, txs will be auto-routed via SC wallets without the user even realizing it.

imagine web3 devs being able to deploy their own zkRollups that have:. 1) native account abstraction.2) access to off-chain data before each tx.3) built-in keepers / event-driven tx triggering. all by remaining fully EVM-compatible. => that's Gelato's zk RaaS platform.
Sidechains are dead, long live L2s!. Gelato announces web3's most advanced zk Rollup as a Service platform with native Account Abstraction & the support of 16+ infra partners. Building on @0xPolygonLabs' zkEVM framework, zkRaaS is set to launch in Q4 to power the next wave of L2s

Spoke to around 100 builders at #token2049. One trend is crystal clear: . Every large app is moving to their own chain & the questions asked weren’t where to settle or post data, but how to easily onboard users & scale. Watching the fat app, thin protocol thesis playing out.

The current thesis that every web3 app will have their own chain is wrong. Just like web2, every larger application will have many, interconnected & horizontally scalable chains that grow on-demand. Once you see this, there is no way back. Rather than working on a single.
