MegaETH Labs co-founder Yilong Li: Ethereum needs an independent settlement layer to break through the L2 development bottleneck | SevenX Research Day

On February 26, at the "SevenX Research Day: Restaked Modularity @ETHDenver" event, MegaETH Labs co-creator Yilong Li expressed his views on the theme of "Understanding the Performance of the Ethereum Execution Layer". First, Yilong Li shared an analysis of Reth execution client performance, discussing bottlenecks in the execution phase and performance indicators of each opcode. Then, Yilong Li came up with ideas to improve L2 execution performance. "L2 is the best place to innovate in the performance dimension because it allows for different types of nodes that vary in number and hardware requirements. We came up with the vision of MegaRollup where every L2 is capable of delivering high throughput and large-scale state support." Yilong Li also emphasized the importance of decentralized sequencers and proposed the idea of ​​building L2 on high-bandwidth DLN. Finally, Yilong Li believes that if Ethereum becomes a bottleneck restricting the development of L2, a dedicated and highly optimized settlement layer can be established on top of Ethereum in the future. "SevenX Research Day: Restaked Modularity @ETHDenver" is hosted by SevenX Ventures, co-organized by Mirana Ventures, and supported by EigenLayer. Leading researchers, AVS projects and founders related to Modularity and Restaking attended to discuss the cutting-edge of the industry.
