Week 4 Update

In week 4, we met with protocol fellows Rachit and Norbert and discovered that we have a similar interest in the project topic. After a fruitful discussion, recognizing the vast scope and depth of the subject, we decided to join forces and work together on the project. Working together will make it possible for us to cover more areas, brainstorm ideas more effectively and provide support to each other throughout the entire process.

This week, we will be reaching out to Barnabe to announce our decision to collaborate. Additionally, we will clearly outline our individual roles and responsibilities within the project. We believe this will ultimately lead to more comprehensive and impactful findings in the field of prover incentive structures in rollups.

I created a repo with awesome resources to dive into the world of rollups from a cryptoeconomic and game theory perspective! 🎲✨

I plan to embark on my research with these captivating questions that fuel my curiosity:

• What are the fundamental principles and operations of zkRollups?
• What are the essential concepts of game theory and cryptoeconomics?
• How are incentive structures typically designed and implemented in general?
• What are the key technical and economic factors that influence the effectiveness of incentive structures? What characteristics define an optimal incentive structure?
• What are the key parameters to consider when conducting an economic analysis of incentive structures?

Let the research adventure begin! 🚀💡🔍🌟
