    It is horrible. It causes Metamask to lock up, or the 2nd window does not appear. I am constantly missing out because I can't get a transaction in in time. Please, fix this! There are many posts about this on Github and the Trezor forums. The Ledger interface works perfect. I've moved all I can but some things I can't move. Please, fix this already!

    The Trezor window that comes up when you confirm a transaction in metamask, quickly disappears and the transaction gets stuck in metamask. It is described in complete detail here, here and here.

    Yes, you are correct. I had mentioned elsewhere something to the extent of "should be fine... unless the firmware is over 2 years old...". Since both your bridge software and your Trezor software is over 2 years old, updates are indeed required. Where the confusion comes from when minimum version requirements were established. From your screenshots you will see the popup URL that has an 8 in it. This shows that the site you access is using Trezor Connect v8. If you look at config.json for Connect v8 you will see what features require what firmware. In particular you will see that the "eth" feature requires firmware version 1.8.0, released in Febuary 2019. But if you read further you will see that "eip1559" does indeed require 1.10.4. Whether or not the MEW site enforces on the "eth" requirement or the "eip1559" requirement is up to MEW not Trezor, but since I [signed a message]() using firmware < 1.10.4, we know definitively that MEW isn't requiring "eip1559" firmware.... yet. So in essence, with a firmware 2.5 years old, you would have been locked out of MEW on Connect v8 since Spring 2019. You will see that Connect v7 has the same requirements. Only Connect v6 retains support for FW v1.6.3, even there, it's just barely supported. Also from the v6 config, you can see that everyone had to migrate off of v6 when firmware 1.7.3 was released in December 2018. So regardless you definitely would have been locked out of MEW between Winter 2018 and Spring 2019. In short... a long long time ago.

    zkSync is a ZK rollup, a layer-2 protocol that uses cryptographic validity proofs to provide scalable and low-cost transactions on Ethereum.

    In terms of pure utility, however, Ethereum is the clear winner as it's truly decentralised and is the best smart-contract supporting platform out there with the most talented devs (as far as I'm aware). And with layer-2 becoming more and more of a reality it will reduce the fees required to use the platform to around 0.10p average per transaction, with all the security of layer-1 Ethereum. https://zksync.io/

    zkSync is a ZKR live on Ethereum mainnet. Immutable X and Loopring also use ZKR. Zcash is the first widespread application of zk-SNARKs. Polygon is focused on Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography as the end game for blockchain scaling. There's a lot of innovation happening in this space. L2beat.com provides details about Ethereum layer 2 scaling solutions.

    Layer 2 rollups are ready today! Including Loopring, zkSync, Optimistic Ethereum, and Arbitrum. No more of that sidechain/sister chain business, we can support Ethereum by moving our assets to any of these layer two chains and increasing Liquidity incentives. The more of us on L2 the better the sandbox becomes.

    Nope. Your argent zksync doesn't need to touch any L1. However you'll need a way to fund your argent zksync wallet in advance. I did it by going here some months ago: https://zksync.io/ to create my zksync wallet. In this case you'll need to make an L1 transfer to your zksync wallet there. Once you have a zksync wallet you can transfer fund from that zksync wallet to argent zksync using L2. Depending on gas it can take like $70 to get your first zksync wallet on that link.
