Each Ethereum rollup is unique in its identity, culture, and technology. The Metalayer unifies rollups across frameworks while helping them preserve their uniqueness and fostering enhanced coordination, communication, and resource-sharing. Each rollup framework adopts a unique set of trust assumptions, enshrining them into the L2s and L3s built on top.
The Ethereum community knows better than to repeat the mistakes of the early internet and force one standard to dominate. Each rollup's uniqueness is its strength. Our big vision of Ethereum is a world of millions of connected rollups where they enjoy seamless inter-rollup connectivity, shared security and scalability while maintaining their unique identity and technical advantages. The Metalayer is that vision in the flesh.
The Metalayer is a builder platform, an ecosystem, and a coordination and economic engine. It is not a blockchain, an interoperability/bridging protocol, or a hippie commune.
Web3 teams today have to opt into an 'all-in or nothing' package deal when adopting a rollup framework for their L2s. This results in most rollups built atop a specific stack being, in effect, the same underneath. The Metalayer celebrates rollup heterogeneity, allowing them to pick and choose their stack without worrying about connectivity with a specific ecosystem. Infrastructure providers like oracles can rest assured as they are forward-compatible with all rollups that will be deployed in the future.
Each rollup is an extension of Ethereum itself. Therefore, rollup diversity is a huge win for Ethereum as it allows us to be more pluralistic, accessible, and decentralized. Let's unify Ethereum's rollup diversity and embrace the future of scalable and connected decentralized applications.
