State Minimized Layer-2s and Why Ethereum better than EVM

Name: State Minimized Layer-2s and Why Ethereum better than EVM
Duration: 7 min 33 s
Description: Nick Dodson makes the case for state-minimized Layer 2 designs at Devcon 7, arguing that what makes Ethereum valuable to build on is more than just running the EVM. The talk considers what L2 architectures that minimize on-chain state retention could offer over today's more state-heavy rollup designs, while still inheriting Ethereum's security and settlement guarantees.
