if you're curious about Namechain development, here's an update for you.
We are deeply researching with the EF, @linea, Status, Spire Labs, Open Zeppelin and others on how to make Namechain a based rollup, and eventually a native rollup.
As a brief primer, traditional rollups use their own dedicated sequencer, whereas based rollups leverage Ethereum itself as the sequencer. Native rollups are a future vision where Namechain would derive its security and transaction ordering directly from Layer 1 execution.
