AI-generated summary

The article discusses the benefits of L3s, which are applications with different requirements such as privacy, performance, and centralization versus decentralization. The first layer is slow and congested due to the need for re-computation and verification of transactions. The second layer is faster as it only requires verification of blocks generated by a single sequencer. The use of language and proofs can optimize L2 transactions. AllStar gathers evidence to verify the correctness of L2 transactions.

L3's World#

Gideon Kaempfer, the StarkWare Core Engineering Head, talks about the benefits of L3s.
Various applications define their own different requirements, such as privacy, performance, and centralization vs. decentralization.
In the layered architecture, the first layer is public, decentralized, and secure, but it is slow because each validator needs to recompute and verify transactions, leading to congestion issues.
The second layer is faster because a single sequencer generates blocks, and others only need to verify the validity of these blocks.
By re-invoking, the execution of programs can be proven, thus sending proofs to the first layer.
Stark ex is a typical App optimizing L2 use cases.
By using language to express those statements, AllStar will aggregate all the evidence to verify that L2 transactions are correct.
