It feels so good to be the heaviest Celestia Testnet user tbh.

That's what happens when superior tech integrates with superior DA. With our upcoming airdrop of node NFTs to $TIA stakers, this is us probably saying we're damn serious.

21M txs settled on LightLink Mainnet!

+ We're nearing 80M blocks created.

We keep BUIDLing.

LightLink is the first L2 to use an Optimium design with proprietary tech.

- L2 costs mainly come from ops with L1.
- Optimistic Rollups: consensus/storage on L1, execution on L2.
- Optimium: consensus on L1, execution on L2, storage on DA.

Fewer operations on L1 = lower fees.

LightLink Weekly Recap:

- Heaviest Celestia Testnet user, >15 GB uploaded
- Carbon Browser and Bitget Wallet partnerships
- 21M txs on Mainnet
- 7M+ tokens minted gas-free by ecosystem partners TallyUP! and Grapes using our Bolt
- Made it to KuCoin's TOP Gainers page

LightLink stats are now displayed on Celenium.

Feels so right to be the #1 user of the Celestia Testnet.

Can't wait to see the chart once our Mainnet with Celestia underneath is live soon.

LightLink Hummingbird in a nutshell:

- Every 6 hours, Hummingbird pushes a Rollup Header to L1
- Header = 21 @CelestiaOrg's Blobs
- Blob = 2,000 L2 blocks
- Block = up to 700 txs

That's 117M txs per day + the first, important step towards 10,000 TPS.

LightLink gasless txs are the future of DeFi!

Check this out - we only have 300 $LL in this wallet and 0 ETH.

On any other EVM chain, we wouldn't be able to swap $LL for ETH.

Now watch what happens when we try to swap on

It's easy to fork Optimism and spin up a generic L2 but we weren't looking for the easy road and built Optimium L2 architecture with a proprietary stack from scratch.

+ We built Enterprise Mode for gasless txs & Hummingbird to deliver unprecedented L2 scalability.

BUIDL!

LightLink will scale to 10,000 TPS with ease!

- Increased block gas limit to fit more txs
- Celestia DA to store GBs of tx data
- Optimium architecture to minimize dependence on slow L1
- Hummingbird to orchestrate it all

The key takeaway from our Twitter Space with Flu from Granary: tech complexity must lead to result simplicity.

E.g., Granary automates yield farming, while LightLink eliminates gas fees.
