View submission: Scaling Reddit Community Points with Arbitrum Rollup: a piece of cake
Fantastic submission - my favorite now, (though i said that to myself several times reading other submissions previously , eg the matter labs and raiden proposals).. which is why I would like to ask 2 things...
1. First, is there any chance of leveraging the best of both worlds with the matter labs who just announced their ZK Porter solution which uses a form of sharding with their shard 0 at the core and then allows other providers to hook into that on other shards in the MattterLabs sense of shards.. so is there any value in working together somehow - eg an arbitrum shard or maybe the other way round with an arbitrum sharding schema - maybe im dreaming but I wish both you teams can win lol.
2. Second, likewise, what about leveraging the best of both worlds by combining with the Raiden capabilities where useful state channel features can improve things further

Thanks u/maxedgeronimo!
1. I'm gonna have to dig into the ZK Porter proposal. I've been catching up on sleep since we submitted our proposal so I haven't had a chance to yet :D. Layering arbitrum on top ZK solutions would be difficult since there doesn't currently exist (to my knowledge) and ZK rollup solution that could run the complex L1 contracts that Arbitrum uses to secure our Rollup chains.
On the flip side, it'd be pretty easy to deploy any ZK based solution onto Arbitrum. Since we support general smart contracts, you can deploy existing ZK based Ethereum applications onto Arbitrum (making them way cheaper than they are on ethereum
2. State channels work great running as L3 solutions on top of rollups as well as to make moving funds between different L2s or between L1s and L2s. We've been working with Connext to deploy their state channels on Arbitrum which should be launching soon, and I'm sure Raiden would work great too assuming their interested in deploying their state channels on top of other scaling solutions like Connext is.
