Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

My thoughts after studying ADA, DOT, ETH
So many wrong statements made in your comment it's pretty wild. My original comment was to highlight some differences between Cardano and Ethereum in regards to how they operate rather than to decide which one was better. Regardless, you've decided it was complete non-sense and gone on a tangent because I state both tx fee models have their pros and cons? Lol. If you think a viable solution is to have insane gas fees on the L1 then we fundamentally disagree and crypto will never find real adoption. You've blurted so many things idk where to start but to sort of sum it up is that Cardano has scaled and is still scaling with things like input endorsers and hydra which is actually just about ready to start using: https://hydra.family/head-protocol/ This also tells me your information about what's happening is outdated. Also I know exactly what throughput is, my point was that the metric doesn't capture the full picture for different blockchains capabilities.. We can go all day but you clearly have something against Cardano, I'm happy to have a genuine discussion but the intent on bashing is clear here as this was unprovoked.

Cardano 2023 upcoming developments
Hydra, a L2 solution using isomorphic state channels. Caveat: This is NOT an easy fix that can simply scale all Cardano dapps, it remains to be seen what parts of Cardano can actually be scaled by Hydra. This currently is a bit complicated. Sundaeswap is experimenting with Hydra, but Axo devs do not think Hydra is good for scaling DEXs...

Cardano weekly development report as of 2023-02-24 Olga Hryniuk @ iohk.io
The Hydra team completed work on a different way of dealing with contests during the contestation period. These will now always push the deadline out, making contestation periods easier to pick depending on the network a head runs on. They also added an important acceptance test and completed internal refactoring of the protocol logic, making future changes easier to implement.

I'm confused about the Hydra Head protocol capabilities for some use cases like P2P bots
I'm thinking about this for some time, about having a bot for P2P exchange much like P2P lightning bot but for Cardano and no, necessarily implementing a full-blown "lightning network", but I'm confused about the state of the Hydra Head Protocol and its capabilities for this particular use case.

Weekly development report as of 2022-11-25 - Iohk
The Hydra team released version0.8.1, which includes several fixes and an extension of the persistence (introduced by version 0.8.0) of replaying server outputs to make clients like the hydra-tui aware of the latest hydra-node state. The team also worked on the specification and closing gaps in the on-chain scripts, collaborated with the education team on a Hydra tutorial, and renamed the repository from hydra-poc to `hydra`.

Spot Bitcoin ETF receives official approval from the SEC
A real layer 2 would look more like something built on Ethereum (can see all its L2s at https://l2beat.com).
Essentially it's a separate network that every few minutes takes every transaction and compresses it into a data blob that it saves on Ethereum along with a proof that the computation was done correctly. The Ethereum L1 nodes then only need to verify the proof instead of re-executing all transactions that happened on the L2.
With this design users can go straight from an exchange like Coinbase onto the L2 and never need to use Ethereum, and fees are 10x cheaper because of the data compression. Fees will soon be 100x cheaper as Ethereum is adding extra space just for these L2 data blobs that is much cheaper than normal Ethereum data space.
Unfortunately it can't be done on Bitcoin right now because Bitcoin nodes don't have Turing complete scripting and so can't verify the proof that an L2 posts to Bitcoin.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2023)
We are running & maintaining the site (https://l2beat.com). Our work is to look on the current Layer 2 deployments on Ethereum & show risks and statistics to the end user. Very interesting thing is that we are a public goods company trying to stay as objective as possible in the industry full of subjectivity. What I mostly like in this job is that I am a part of the project shaping how it looks, not only mindlessly taking someones orders.

Should Ethereum be okay with enshrining more things in the protocol?
Ecosystem fragmentation is not necessarily a bad thing. It leads to rapid development through competition. Different L2s are competing against each other to provide the best service and that has lead to a cambrian explosion of solutions. It's also a very effective way to explore the solution space, I'm sure many will disappear, others will get eaten, and at some point there will be consolidation. But all this seems like a good approach early on when tackling complex problems for which the ideal trade-offs are not entirely obvious. Explore as much of the solution space as possible and trim later on.
A perhaps more pernicious problem is liquidity fragmentation. Moving assets between L2s is a tedious friction that leads to fragmentation of liquidity. In that respect, zero-knowledge rollups present a big advantage as you can share liquidity between them as long as they share some zk-circuits that allow to prove statements to both chains. All this is being very actively worked on. And the technology behind it is short of fascinating. The typical HN audience would have a huge hard-on for it, if they didn't have such a strong preconception against crypto-anything.
If anyone is curious to learn more about L2s a good starting point is here: https://l2beat.com/
And if you want to see Ethereum scaling progress you can check it here: https://l2beat.com/scaling/activity
The next major upgrade to the protocol, slated for late this year or early 2024 (date is not finalized yet), will focus on scalability by making L2 activity veeery cheap.

Are Layer 2s as secure as Layer 1?
In addition to what others said, I always find https://l2beat.com useful to see a summary of the security assumptions behind the various L2s. Currently, all L2 need to be trusted to some extent as they are still quite in development.
