is a zkLink-initiated event series that educates, amplifies, and shares research about the current status of Layer 3 development from the world’s leading Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain protocols.
Spectacularly, Layer 2s became so prominent during the 2020 and 2021 bull runs that they amassed significant market share and a motto of being “Layer 1 Killers.” However, as the years passed – Layer 2 advancement slowed, and even created second-order issues that were previously unforeseen, exacerbating the blockchain’s original problems.
This story has become zkLink’s Muse and mission i.e., to solve liquidity fragmentation and to construct a Layer 3 solution where developers can launch scalable, fast, cheap, user-friendly, developer-friendly, secure, ZK-powered, general-purpose, and application-specific DApps. The projects above will feature renowned speakers at our L3 Summit in Denver to discuss the different approaches and purposes for building Layer 3 solutions, Layer 3 DeFi, general-purpose versus application-specific rollups, interoperability, zero-knowledge technology, zkEVM-compatibility, developing DApps on Layer 3s, and other interesting topics.
In summary, without great speakers, one cannot hold a successful event, and thankfully, we’ve put together a crypto and blockchain “Dream Team” that will share valuable alpha on their respective panels and keynotes at Denver. Events like the L3 Summit serve as “leading indicators” for what’s next.
QED is Bitcoin’s native execution layer, and unlike other Bitcoin Layer 2s that require a trusted multisig, on QED, assets can be bridged in a trustless way because they’re secured by ZKPs. Therefore, with its cutting-edge state model, QED is capable of supporting millions of concurrent users transacting in parallel and with low gas fees.
