Front-running all of your bad nomad takes: 1. “This is why trustless bridges are better” The trust model wasn’t compromised. 2. “This is why multi chain = bad.” There was nothing bridge-specific about the exploit. 3. “Nomad team = bad” Smart, good people make mistakes.

Unlike other technology adoption curves of history, bitcoin is faced with growing through a multi-decade DDoS attack from thousands of other protocols, vying for attention and capital. And it couldn't have been otherwise, due to its open source and non-capital intensive nature.

So this is just simply wrong, at least re Arbitrum. He seems to think there's some fundamental difference between withdrawing and other actions (i.e., dexing) when it comes to bypassing the sequencer; there isn't. I don't know why he thinks this. You can force-include anything.

L2s make Ethereum *more fragile*. This becomes especially clear during a time of crisis For example, consider an L2 liveness failure for an L2 (ORU or ZKR, doesn't matter) that has 20M users. The sequencer stops proposing blocks for some indeterminate period of time Assume that…

The Eth protocol itself never asks you to transact before some deadline; some contracts *on* Eth do. Arbitrum is an example of the later; thus, if Eth miners can censor for 1 week, they can steal your money if it's on Arbitrum, but can't necessarily do so if it's elsewhere on Eth
