In the midst of tension within some parts of the Ethereum Ecosystem, Vitalik Buterin has outlined proposals for the L1 and L2 scaling of Ethereum, aimed at data transit and evidence systems to meet network requirements.
In his last Blog postHe described extensions to blob capacity and coordinated interoperability initiatives aimed at simplifying cross-chain operations. The post emphasized a plan to balance technical solutions with the social structure of Ethereum, and emphasized that a single chain cannot meet all needs without risking decentralization. Buterin suggested that better security on L2S could relieve trust assumptions through multiple proofing systems and standardized bridges and experiment with various virtual machines.
Buterin emphasized the role of “blob” space extension as an immediate solution for relieving low-2 congestion and suggested that the base layer of Ethereum should meet the growing data requirements. The ecosystem currently processes around three blobs – Roughly 210 transactions per second – although updates with the Pectra and Peerdas label can double or triple this transit.
He emphasized the need for a coordinated route map, with expansion mechanisms that may adjust Blob goals to fit technical improvements. Buterin also mentioned more experimental concepts, including partial trust assumptions for strikers with fewer resources, although he was careful with designs that run the risk of undermining the core principles of Ethereum.
He explained that interoperability is a central priority. Rollups function as unique shards that are governed by different entities, leading to inconsistent standards for passing messages and address formats. This has created fragmentation for developers and users, which calls for cross-chain tools to be motivated that retain trustless security instead of trusting multisig bridges.
Buterin presented uniform methods for verifying evidence, accelerated deposition and recording times and chain-specific addresses, including IDs for every Layer-2 environment. Some developers see this approach as an important step in the direction of user-friendly cross-chain navigation, although Buterin emphasized that maintaining explicit security guarantees remains crucial for all implementations.
ETH value protect in the Ethereum -Ecosystem
The function was also about economic stimuli to strengthen ETH as a Triple-Point Assets, and noted that a combination of reimbursement burns on rollups, continuous data costs of “blobs” and income on the chains from potential maximum extremable value channels the monetary role of Ethereum could anchor. .
He said the ecosystem system should
“Bleed with the cementing of ETH as the primary active of the larger (L1 + L2) Ethereum economy, supporting applications that use ETH as primary collateral, etc.”
He argued that rollups should consider depositing some reimbursements back into the Ecosystem of Ethereum, possibly due to permanent deployment or targeted financing of public property. However, he warned that cost structures and demand remain uncertain and no mechanism guarantees the long -term price support for ETH.
Low-2 adoption and rollups are currently stimulating the growth of ecosystem, but Buterin emphasized that a complete transition to rollups requires both technical progress and social coordination. He urged developers to concentrate on production-ready proof systems, shared sequencing solutions and standards that unite cross-rollup operations.
He also invited portfolio providers to implement new address formats and bridging protocols, and explained that achieving these goals requires direct cooperation between the Ethereum Foundation, customer teams and Layer-2 projects.
Buterin’s post concluded with a reminder that the social ethos of Ethereum is based on its technical blueprint, referring to the role of the community when maintaining a decentralized project. He called for the direct involvement of all stakeholders, including token holders, who can influence the decisions of the route map by entering into governance and open discussions.
He noted that the evolution of the network depends on balancing scale capacity, maintaining security and maintaining a coherent user experience. The last message called for continuous cooperation to ensure that Ethereum remains an open platform that is able to support frequently used decentralized applications.
The leadership and financial movements of Ethereum Foundation
The post comes in the midst of community division and a restructuring of the leadership of Ethereum Foundation, because it focuses on strengthening cooperation with developers, while complying with core values such as decentralization and privacy. In an attempt to stay neutral in political matters, the foundation continues to emphasize its dedication to promote the development of protocol without carrying out ideological or lobbying activities.
However, the role of Buterin as a co-founder is endlessly debated on social media, where some ask to become more involved in Ethereum projects and NFT collections, while others insist on full neutrality.
The community pushes a story that depends on Ethereum on maintaining both a robust L1 and a flourishing L2 ecosystem that is suitable for varied use cases. Buterin’s blog underlined the importance of flexible but trust-Geminimalized systems, which is called for L2 acceptance that reflects early visions of the Sharded Architecture of Ethereum.
He argued that prioritizing Blob throughput and shared Rollup would enable developers to enable Defi, Social applications, Enterprise solutions and more. He also pointed to the need for uniform address layouts, faster transactive tanality and cross-chain message protocols so that users can navigate different L2s without fragmented workflows.
