(4) Matter Labs launched a new Ethereum Layer 2 expansion solution zkPorter
Matter Labs stated that zkRollup can currently achieve 3000 TPS performance on ETH1.0, and it is conservatively estimated (depending on the implementation details of ETH2.0) that it can handle at least 20000 TPS on fragmented ETH2. To meet the needs of one billion users, it is necessary to further reduce costs and improve performance. (Medium)

(1) V God hits back at Adam Back: Ethereum is on the rise, and historical trends will not benefit maximalists
In response to Blockstream CEO Adam Back's remarks that there is no difference between Ethereum and Ponzi schemes, V God replied that every day is a cliché, and the effect is getting worse every day. Ethereum is on the rise, PoS (proof of stake) and sharding are on the rise, rollups are already here, all working in parallel through a large distributed ecosystem. The tide of history does not favor maximalists.
On Aug. 4, BitMEX CEO and co-founder Arthur Hayes said he was surprised by Ethereum’s surge to $400, its highest level since the summer of 2018. He believes that the next target for Ethereum is $500. (CryptoPotato)
