**📸 Daily Market Snapshot: **ETH's price is up 16% week-over-week, climbing out of early September's depression while inching back up above the 0.040 ETH/BTC ratio it dipped below more than a week ago. Is this growth a sign of renewed enthusiasm or merely a signal that investors were getting irresponsibly bearish on the asset?

Of course, a rollup is an L2 that processes Ethereum transactions *offchain *and then posts data back to the Ethereum mainnet (a.k.a. L1) for security. Accordingly, *based rollups* are a newer concept in the rollup space. The key characteristic of a based rollup like Taiko is that it uses the Ethereum L1 for *sequencing *transactions.
