[L2BEAT Renamed ETHBEAT, Expanding Business Scope to the Ethereum Ecosystem]
L2BEAT has officially changed its name to ETHBEAT, expanding its business scope from Ethereum Layer 2 to the entire Ethereum ecosystem. ETHBEAT will continue to monitor L2 while strengthening its research in areas such as privacy, interoperability, tokens, zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), and native rollups. It will also expand into the liquidity staking field in the future.
ETHBEAT's research focus shifts to assessing whether Ethereum ecosystem projects inherit Ethereum's core security attributes, including censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security, as well as the intermediaries that users need to trust.
ETHBEAT launched the CROPS Guidelines, which include ecosystem projects that meet relevant principles. The organization will help users identify and reduce their reliance on intermediaries through technical research, risk assessment, open-source tools, and industry standard development.
