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.

AWS and Blockchain
https://info.uniswap.org/
Uniswap alone clears this amount. Part of the power of decentralized exchanges is that every trade is logged and publicly available, which is not something you can claim for their centralized counterparts.

97.7% of tokens launched on Uniswap were scams and rug pulls
"No one goes there anymore, it's too popular!"
Yesterday over $2.1B in volume cleared on Uniswap [0]. It's certainly useable by someone. If you want cheaper fees, try it on Arbitrum or Optimism.

Web3 is just expensive P2P
Coinbase is a centralized exchange. Of course it runs in a SQL db or whatever. They only need to touch the chain when settling inflows/outflows.
But something like Uniswap: https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap is fully on-chain. Every trade happens on chain, because the application is an immutable smart contract liquidity protocol, called an AMM, or automated market maker.
It does as much, if not more, volume than Coinbase ($1.98B in last 24H): https://info.uniswap.org/#/

Run interface and v3-info on local geth node
how can one run interface (app.uniswap.org) and v3-info (info.uniswap.org) on the local computer, and to set provider as local node, for example geth, and not "be connected" to some external node provider? I want to be fully on my own if:

The Promise of DAOs, the Latest Craze in Crypto
Fun fact: after the DAO had essentially folded, the $PEOPLE token folks were left holding could be traded for more than 10X the value it cost to go in on the DAO.
To this day, it still trades for ~10X its initial value on Uniswap: https://info.uniswap.org/#/tokens/0x7a58c0be72be218b41c608b7...
Anyone who bought more than ~$50 of DAO tokens before the auction could stand to make a profit on the aftermarket even accounting for gas fees.
In case it needs to be said: this all seems crazy to me, but it is what it is.

Failed transactions costing $250 is not fine!

Depends on the dex, for both of your questions. Here's the liquidity stats for uniswap: https://info.uniswap.org/

Daily General Discussion - August 24, 2021
It's gonna vary a lot from pool to pool, so you'd want to check your pairs on https://info.uniswap.org to verify the value locked/fees ratio for the different pools on your pairs. Just eyeballing a few of the pools, it seems like most of the biggest pools (Eth/Stable, Eth/WBTC), 0.05% almost always wins. For anything beyond that where pools are less liquid, it looks like 0.3% pool is frequently the winner.

Why The Graph (GRT), also known as the "Google of blockchain" is the single most important piece of the blockchain puzzle and it should be on your radar.
You can open chrome, go to info.uniswap.org and you can see all the API calls to The Graph. But when I open app.uniswap.org, put in tokens and fetch prices, I don't see any of these calls to The Graph at all.
You ever heard of Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Balancer, USDC or basically any huge/popular DeFi app/protocol? They all 100% fully, completely, and entirely functionally rely upon The Graph. A good representation of what The Graph is is when you use info.uniswap.org - all of this data comes from The Graph. Everytime you refresh, that's a query that Uniswap has to make to The Graph in order to provide you with up to data price data.
