We need to stop lying to ourselves about L2s and use better metrics to assess their “Ethereum-ness”.
The Ethereum Settlement Score (ESS) measures: how much do L2 users/assets truly use Ethereum for settlement, censorship-resistance, and security?
Current L2s score poorly on ESS—but that's about to change 👇
Three technologies will radically transform L2s:
🔹 ZK proofs → instant canonical bridges (no more 7-day waits)
🔹 Native Rollups → no security councils, L1-native rollup verification
🔹 Based sequencing → Ethereum-level censorship resistance
With @blockworksres , we measured the gap between L2 promise and reality. Now it’s time to close it — and become Ethereum again!
Accelerate Based. Accelerate Native. Accelerate ZK. $PROVE
