Ephemeral Rollup: The New "L1.5" of Ethereum
In briefEphemeral Rollup: a new L1.5 architecture for Ethereum (Ethereum Research forum discussion)
SummaryThe post proposes an "L1.5" pattern in which users keep their state in their wallets, L1 holds shared state and verifies every transition, and the computation in between is done by parties that hold no state needed for the next job, with results settled directly on L1. It relies on proposals such as EIP-8141, EIP-8250 and EIP-8288 to argue the pattern is becoming practical, using private settlement as the main example. It also distinguishes the pattern from rollups.
