Paper proposes metrics to pick Layer 2 networks for smart contracts
Original title: Towards an Intelligent Decision Engine for Smart Contract Deployment
Authors score Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base over six months of transactions using user-defined priority profiles.
A cs.CR paper outlines a method for choosing a Layer 2 network when deploying smart contracts. It groups contract types from a community data source and computes metrics from six months of transactions on Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. User profiles weight factors such as cost, efficiency, popularity, and stability. The authors say the scoring shows a bias toward particular L2s for certain application types and profiles.
Unconfirmed: The reported L2 bias is the authors' classification result and is not independently verified.
- The study uses six months of transactions from Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.
- User profiles weight costs, efficiency, popularity, and stability differently.
- Authors report a classification bias toward certain L2s for particular application types.
From the original article
1 min read at arxiv.orgLayer 2 (L2) blockchain solutions emerged in recent years, predominantly in the Ethereum ecosystem, as a viable option for scaling a main blockchain network (L1). However, the selection of a L2 solution for deploying smart contracts backing blockchain applications is a decision that depends on many factors, such as costs, efficiency, popularity, and stability.
