There’s been much discussion and excitement around based rollups. The reason for this is quite simple, based rollups are based. Specifically, they allow applications to stick to their underlying layer (+ retain synchronicity) - while gaining several superpowers that are usually reserved for rollups and app-chains (while deriving security). These are things like customisation, MEV internalisation and specialisation. The reason why we generally haven’t spoken about based rollups much in the past is that the implementation ideas in the past were generally centred around overloading the proposers and turning everything into singular chains - something that isn’t scalable in these hyper-decentralised systems. Furthermore, the UX of these setups (in the absence of preconfirmations or soft guarantees) just weren’t up to par for what applications would want. In our view, the current dogma around based rollups has changed for the better. However, significant assumptions, what-ifs, and centralis
