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.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2023)
I am a developer there, hit me up if you are interested || have any questions
I highly recommend to visit our site and click around: https://l2beat.com
Repo for more technological context: https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat
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.

Still going strong and adding more projects weekly 😎 https://l2beat.com/ and we'll be revamping our https://ecosystem.zksync.io/ page soon so it's easier to see what projects are live.

Daily Goerli: I've been testing this PR for besu for the past several days, and the stability of nimbus-besu has improved substantially. Looking forward to it getting merged into main.

Yes, it's gotten better. I don't recommend pairing with nimbus until this issue gets fixed or prysm until something is done to reduce the amount of time it takes to recover from being offline for a day or more.

Daily Goerli: On Friday, I reported a RocksDB issue that was causing besu to error and exit immediately. The bad commit has been identified and a fix has been issued. lodestar-nethermind somehow ended up on an invalid fork which isn't resolved by restarting either client. Waiting to see how each client team responds and if they need more info, but might need to do a resync.
