$ERA Rollups and Data Availability Tokens (DATs) are highly complementary in Ethereum’s scaling and incentive design.
🔹 ETH Burn Mechanisms Through Rollups
By integrating ETH burn mechanisms, rollups can ensure that part of the value generated on Layer 2 flows back to ETH holders. This strengthens Ethereum’s economic security and reinforces ETH’s position as the settlement-layer asset.
🔹 Yield from Bridged ETH
When ETH is bridged to rollups, it can generate native yield (e.g., through staking or validator participation). Instead of being left idle, this yield can be redirected to fund sustainable incentive programs for users, developers, and ecosystem partners.
🔹 Reinforcing Network Participation
Together, these mechanisms not only create direct rewards for ETH holders but also:
• Encourage more active network participation
• Attract foundational partners who benefit from long-term, sustainable economics
• Reduce reliance on unsustainable token incentives, making ecosystems more resilient
What’s your take – will aligning rollups with DAT-based yield models become the foundation of Ethereum’s next growth phase, or will competing Layer 1 ecosystems challenge this value capture model?
