The article discusses a new concept proposed by Paradigm called "gigagas," which is a new metric for measuring blockchain performance, referring to "Gas Per Second" (GPS). Paradigm believes that compared to the traditional transactions per second (TPS), GPS can more accurately reflect the network's processing capacity and efficiency. In order to achieve the goal of processing 1 gigagas per second, Paradigm has developed Reth, an Ethereum execution client, and improved performance through vertical and horizontal scaling. The article points out that while performance improvement is important, user experience and user growth are equally critical.

This piece sheds light on several BTC-related public chain initiatives that have garnered venture capital backing, including BounceBit, Merlin Chain, B² Network, BOB, and Mezo. These ventures seek to broaden Bitcoin's applicability, leveraging its security to forge standalone POS public chains and bolstering their ecosystems with innovations like Restaking and zk-Rollups. Collaborating with giants like Binance, BounceBit, and featuring high Total Value Locked (TVL), Merlin Chain employs a unique hybrid Rollup structure. Meanwhile, B² Network aspires to be at the forefront of Bitcoin's Layer 2 solutions, BOB methodically integrates Bitcoin's security features, and Mezo, crafted by the tBTC team, champions a Proof of HODL consensus model. The narrative underscores the pivotal role of financial backing over technical prowess for these projects. For the average investor, engaging in airdrops and rewards programs emerges as a viable profit-making strategy.
