How did Sovereign SDK get built? Check it out.

Some quick lore on @sovereign_labs now that they’ve launched In 2022, @cemozer_ came to our Celestia dinner during ETH Denver and told me he wanted to build the first sovereign rollup. At that time, sovereign rollups were just an idea @musalbas had written about, but most people dismissed it. But Cem saw the opportunity and went for it. As the idea was forming Cem mentioned he was working with some dude named Preston and that we was a true gigabrain. I didn't know @prestonevans__ then, but after the first time I met him I was absolutely blown away and I got even more bullish. Over the next 3 years together Cem and Preston grinded through fundraises, persevered through the boom and bust of the modular hype cycle, and were among the first builders to recognize the potential for zkVMs, proof aggregation, and the entirely new design space for application specific rollps that was opening up as a result. I always thought of Celestia as the endgame L1 architecture, and of Sovereign SDK as the endgame rollup framework. A match made in crypto geek heaven. Now that the framework is production ready, we're closer than we've ever been to seeing the fullness of the modular vision come to life. I think the full magnitude of what they've built won't be appreciated until a few years from now, but in hindsight it will seem inevitable. Congrats to Cem, Preston and everyone who has been part of the journey to get here 3 years later and it's still day one

the internet was the first permissionless, global rail for transferring information. through it, global information applications were born. news sites, memes, social networks. crypto is the first permissionless, global rail for transferring value. with it, we're witnessing the birth of global financial applications. aave, hyperliquid, and polymarket are just the beginning. the information revolution took 50+ years. the value revolution is just getting started.

Capital markets belong onchain.

MOVE ALL MARKETS ON CHAIN. wish there was a framework for that.

Verifiable App Framework in the flesh. 6 months later, this will be the biggest narrative for trustless apps.

A momentous launch by one of our key partners, @sovereign_labs. Finally, everyone will get to experience blockchains as fast as the markets. Fire with Bullet, and fire with Sovereign.

This sounds like hype (cuz it is!), but it's really true. We've spent 3 years completely re-inventing blockchains to make it possible to build *anything*, quickly. From day one, our goal was to allow maximum flexibility to make meaningfully better user experiences. When we started, we saw three key challenges. 1. Most apps couldn't get reliable throughput. Apps were either reliably unavailable or occasionally fast and often down. 2. The UX felt sluggish. In web2, we hyper-optimize server choice to minimze latency, because milliseconds matter for conversion. In web3, we had to wait to come to global consensus on every transaction. While lots of people did lots of great work to mask the symptoms, this was a huge headache for users and developers. 3. All of the products felt the same. Because of the constraints imposed by shared VMs, it was just hard to innovate. No matter how strong the team, they couldn't add new features that their execution environment didn't support. This manifested itself in hacks, bad UX (many clicks to do a simple operation), and missing features. With the Sovereign SDK, we hope to meaningfully move the needle on all three of these. Throughput Sovereign SDK gives you thousands of TPS - an entire Solana of throughput *per application*. With Sovereign, your app won't go down because of a noisy neighbor. Users expect reliability. Now, you can have it. Latency A year ago, @cemozer_ came to me and told me we needed to completely redesign our sequencer. He was right. We used to work on a standard batch-processing model. Now, we give transaction-by-transaction confirmations in real time. As a result, latency dropped from a few excruciating seconds to an imperceptible few milliseconds. With Sovereign, crypto UIs can feel just as snappy as your favorite web app. Flexibility Literally everything about your rollup is customizable. There is no VM to constrain you. All of your code runs with root access. That means... You can change your address type, your signature scheme or your DA layer (with a simple config change!) You can add custom APIs to your node, and populate their state in real time as transactions come in. You get complete control over gas costs. You can subsidize users as they onboard, charge extra for transactions that you want to discourage, or even do away with gas entirely. You can selectively speed up or delay certain transaction types at the sequencer. ... and much more.
