the puck is Skate to where it's going and the puck is going towards roll ups scaling and scaling ethereum so we are excited to announce that D5 slate is now the roll up oh yeah super stoked I like the hockey analogy uh your Canadian is showing and uh and we love it um super stoked for the roll-up and everything that we've got coming down the pipeline so yeah I mean that that was a great little uh you know explainer as far as like what the motivation is you know why we chose to Rebrand I think as a result of like new Cycles we always see new narratives start to pop up and we see where those narratives are going

so we've seen like the the movement off of layer ones not just ethereum but all layer ones whether they're broken or not they start to move to layer twos um arbitrum airdrop you know the last couple days has just been like reamed with L2 uh content and narratives um so you know we we talk a lot about l2s which specifically on ethereum mean arbitrary and optimism um but we chose to go with the roll-up because that includes all of the ZK start net and other scalability options as well um there's tons of scalability uh feces out there

ckdm2 is is coming out in two days dk6 era um their mainnet came out today Stark net just upgraded their test net today arbits from airdrop today coinbase base it's it's yup it's full ongoing there's gonna be more air drops there's going to be more um more more users and so the messaging kind of here is guys we're going to be providing for you a higher level power user content we're we're going to be digging deep in the trenches to find information Alpha new products new toys things that we can get our hands on try out tests alongside you guys and provide you guys with early opportunities D5 Summer s um and and and really do a lot of focus

on research and data driven insights for you guys at a professional scale we're also going to be doing a lot of messaging that is full on onboarding the masses trying to get as many people onto Roll-Ups as possible because we think that they're sticky I think the idea of Roll-Ups and the experience is going to be very sticky I think we'll have some very nice front-facing applications soon that will provide for a much more appealing user experience and I think that on the back end a lot of that's that kind of tech will be built upon Roll-Ups and scaling ethereum I think this is a very very um altruistic and notable kind of Mission to go on which is scaling ethereum for the masses and yeah we're here to help
