Buterin: Diverse Layer 2 Solutions Key to Evolving Ethereum Ecosystem
-
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says the Ethereum layer-2 ecosystem will continue evolving with diverse approaches to scaling.
-
Buterin highlights different layer 2 solutions like rollups, sidechains, "almost-EVMs", and zero-knowledge protocols as important innovations.
-
Buterin notes some layer 1s and centralized projects are looking to increase security through partial decentralization.
-
Buterin says non-financial apps may not need the same security as DeFi, so looser layer 2 coupling could work.
-
Buterin expects the ecosystem to start loosely coupled and tighten security over time as technology improves.
