L2BEAT

4 stories
Analysts use L2BEAT to examine rollup risk framework, with rollup stage classification and data availability assessment supplying additional context. Supporting functions include bridge custody risks, rollup governance tracking, and Layer 2 cost data; their value depends on data coverage, classification rules, and consistent interpretation. Data-source revisions, classification decisions, and interface changes qualify for L2BEAT when they change the analysis of rollup risk framework, rollup stage classification, or data availability assessment. Explorers, exchanges, and custody products keep separate entries; L2BEAT is specific to rollup risk framework, rollup stage classification, and the derived interpretation of data availability assessment.
