There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts: * L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected * L1 itself is scaling, fees are very low, and gaslimits are projected to increase greatly in 2026 Both of these facts, for their own separate reasons, mean that the original vision of L2s and their role in Ethereum no longer makes sense, and we need a new path. First, let us recap the original vision. Ethereum needs to scale. The definition of "Ethereum scaling" is the existence of large quantities of block space that is backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum - that is, block space where, if you do things (including with ETH) inside that block space, your activities are guaranteed to be valid, uncensored, unreverted, untouched, as long as Ethereum itself functions. If you create a 10000 TPS EVM where its connection to L1 is mediated by a multisig bridge, then you are not scaling Ethereum. This vision no longer makes sense. L1 does not need L2s to be "branded shards", because L1 is itself scaling. And L2s are not able or willing to satisfy the properties that a true "branded shard" would require. I've even seen at least one explicitly saying that they may never want to go beyond stage 1, not just for technical reasons around ZK-EVM safety, but also because their customers' regulatory needs require them to have ultimate control. This may be doing the right thing for your customers. But it should be obvious that if you are doing this, then you are not "scaling Ethereum" in the sense meant by the rollup-centric roadmap. But that's fine! it's fine because Ethereum itself is now scaling directly on L1, with large planned increases to its gas limit this year and the years ahead. We should stop thinking about L2s as literally being "branded shards" of Ethereum, with the social status and responsibilities that this entails. Instead, we can think of L2s as being a full spectrum, which includes both chains backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum with various unique properties (eg. not just EVM), as well as a whole array of options at different levels of connection to Ethereum, that each person (or bot) is free to care about or not care about depending on their needs. What would I do today if I were an L2? * Identify a value add other than "scaling". Examples: (i) non-EVM specialized features/VMs around privacy, (ii) efficiency specialized around a particular application, (iii) truly extreme levels of scaling that even a greatly expanded L1 will not do, (iv) a totally different design for non-financial applications, eg. social, identity, AI, (v) ultra-low-latency and other sequencing properties, (vi) maybe built-in oracles or decentralized dispute resolution or other "non-computationally-verifiable" features * Be stage 1 at the minimum (otherwise you really are just a separate L1 with a bridge, and you should just call yourself that) if you're doing things with ETH or other ethereum-issued assets * Support maximum interoperability with Ethereum, though this will differ for each one (eg. what if you're not EVM, or even not financial?) From Ethereum's side, over the past few months I've become more convinced of the value of the native rollup precompile, particuarly once we have enshrined ZK-EVM proofs that we need anyway to scale L1. This is a precompile that verifies a ZK-EVM proof, and it's "part of Ethereum", so (i) it auto-upgrades along with Ethereum, and (ii) if the precompile has a bug, Ethereum will hard-fork to fix the bug. The native rollup precompile would make full, security-council-free, EVM verification accessible. We should spend much more time working out how to design it in such a way that if your L2 is "EVM plus other stuff", then the native rollup precompile would verify the EVM, and you only have to bring your own prover for the "other stuff" (eg. Stylus). This might involve a canonical way of exposing a lookup table between contract call inputs and outputs, and letting you provide your own values to the lookup table (that you would prove separately). This would make it easy to have safe, strong, trustless interoperability with Ethereum. It also enables synchronous composability (see: ethresear.ch/t/combining-pr… and ethresear.ch/t/synchronous-… ). And from there, it's each L2's choice exactly what they want to build. Don't just "extend L1", figure out something new to add. This of course means that some will add things that are trust-dependent, or backdoored, or otherwise insecure; this is unavoidable in a permissionless ecosystem where developers have freedom. Our job should make to make it clear to users what guarantees they have, and to build up the strongest Ethereum that we can.

@etherexfi I find it difficult to comprehend how people can trust such scammers. 🤢🤮

Liquidity shouldn’t be held hostage by emissions games. On Etherex, aligned incentives win every epoch.

People who rush into newly launched crypto projects make me wonder how they think 🤔 . Perhaps thinking is optional—hope replaces reason, and hype becomes a belief system .

@LayerZero_Core @wormhole , vu 😂😂😂

A shared belief in an idea so inevitable that the world, someday, wouldn't be able to ignore it any longer. 2.10.26

@AshCrypto @BullTheoryio Huh ,

@BullTheoryio Please Mr President

🚨Bitcoin has dropped nearly $5,800 since Trump announced 10% tariffs on EU to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland. Almost $215 Billion has been wiped from the crypto market cap. It’s crazy how one Trump announcement was enough to shake the entire crypto market.

@PeterSchiff @cz_binance

OK, silver is up $4.25 now. It’s trading at $76.10. What’s it going to take to get these silver mining stocks to move? They are substantially lagging the metal when they should not only be leading, but rising at multiples of the metal due to the impact on their earnings.

@LineaBuild @etherexfi #scam @Foxy #Scam Next @Mask #Scam hhhhhh ecosystems Linea 😂😂😂

Linea Exponent is live, and builders are putting in work! Now is probably a good time to cover how rankings work, what PoH requirements entail, and how the program rewards real builders and stimulates genuine engagement across the ecosystem. Learn more: linea.build/exponent

@PeterSchiff @CathieDWood @cz_binance

Bitcoin has no future. It’s not a good medium of exchange for payments. To the extent you want to use crypto, even @CathieDWood admits stablecoins are better. If you also want a store of value, tokenized gold wins hands down. The race to get out of Bitcoin is on. Don’t be last.

@etherexfi Bear 🐻 Market

Linea + Joe Lubin + DATS + Etherex = ???

@CryptoTeluguO @MetaMask Next 👀👀

🙎Imo both Kook & IcoBeast r correct 😁Dumping tokens on day one & booking profit is not wrong ❌This is not hold era 📉99% is the project list these day go down post TGE 😂I am holding my $LINEA allocation, what did I get? 📉$7K allocation is now worth $2K 😂Lost $5K 🪙 @LineaBuild gave 13% to community on day one, no vesting no KOLs, no Kaito. Only to community 🤷But still down 71% 🤦Not only $LINEA, go check any project which listed this year, 99% of the tokens r down 🤷Be it Airdrop or ICO, Why should anyone hold tokens? When every coin is going down? 😒We r not in 2020-21 cycle 📈Back then, every alternative token use to go up post TGE ❌Now it is not the same 🤷So what is wrong in selling? 🤔Agreed with me? Let me know ur point of view 💙Like 🔁RT

@PeterSchiff @cz_binance

Bitcoin has now lost one third of its value priced in gold since its peak last month. Just two thirds left to go.

@MetaMask @MetaMask Next scamm

Go get you some $MON 👀

Unpopular opinion post: On Listing "Fees" (saw this a few times recently) 1. If you are a project complaining about listing airdrops or "fees" (to users), Don't pay it. If your project is strong, exchanges will race to list your coin. If you have to beg an exchange to list, then... You need to ask yourself why, and who is providing value to whom. 2. If you complain about a competitor exchange's listing fees, then by all means, make your own listing fees 0, and be happy. In fact, why not set all your fees to 0? including trading fees? In a decentralized world, businesses are free to have their own business models. No one is forcing you to adopt a certain model. Focus on treating your users well. Don't focus on your competitors. 3. If you are a bag holder of a coin, complain to the project. Not the exchange. Or use a DEX. 4. PancakeSwap doesn't have listing fees, and has very good volumes. Further on this topic, exchanges adopt different listing models. 1. List everything on every blockchain. Most tokens are scams. Of the real "hard working" projects, most fail. Only a few projects will succeed. 2. Selectively list and make listing fee a revenue source. It's fine business model if you can attractive enough projects to list. Many small exchanges use this model, as they don't have enough trading fee revenue. 3. Selectively list. Ask for Airdrops to users. Security deposits, to make scams and failed projects more expensive to pull off. Protect users. These models are not black and white, and many exchanges adopt a combination of them between spot listing, futures listing, alpha listing, web3 wallet buys, etc. Work on your project, not other people. 🙏
