Hold onto your hats, folks! As layer-1 networks start sweating bullets trying to stay relevant, the Ethereum fan club has a wild suggestion: why not just hop on the back of Ethereum like a kid on a bicycle? 🚴♂️
Just this Monday, our main guy, Jason Chaskin, who’s basically the matchmaker for apps at the Ethereum Foundation, decided to stir the pot. He declared that most layer-1s are going to transform into layer-2s on Ethereum, like a caterpillar deciding it’s time to become a butterfly! 🌈 He even pointed to Celo’s recent makeover as a sequel that’s worth watching!
Chaskin raved about how Celo’s transformation helped it lose some of that pesky inflation, streamlined its code (like cleaning out your junk drawer), sped up block times, and integrated into Ethereum, which he claims has “the largest dev community in crypto.” I mean, clearly, it’s the “The Place to Be”—like the hottest nightclub in town, but for crypto geeks. 💃🎉
Vitalik Buterin: The Layer-2 Whisperer 🧙♂️
And who pops into the conversation on Wednesday? None other than the legendary Vitalik Buterin! He’s like the Yoda of Ethereum, sharing his pearls of wisdom. He suggests that the secret sauce for building layer-2s is all about riding the Ethereum wave—security, data availability, and, of course, censorship resistance. The three best friends anyone could have! 🌟
He went on to say that instead of trying to create a brand-new sandwich, layer-2s should just focus on being a solid sequencer and a trusty prover. It’s like getting an intern to do the heavy lifting while you sip coffee and stare contemplatively out the window! ☕️
“Forget about reinventing the wheel,” Buterin says, “L2s can do the bare minimum and just juggle their sequencer (that’s the one that decides transaction order) and their prover (the proof that says, ‘Yes, I did it right!’).” Easy-peasy, right? 🙄
Buterin insists this nifty approach can finally deliver the “trust minimization and efficiency” that enterprise blockchain cowboys in the 2010s were galloping after but couldn’t catch! Now, with Ethereum L2s, you can actually achieve this—no lasso required! 🤠✨
Breaking News: Ethereum Foundation’s Latest Play! 🎉
But wait! There’s more! Following Buterin’s sagely advice, the Ethereum Foundation shared they are plotting a roadmap that involves integrating a zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). What’s next—a time machine? 🕒
On July 11, Sophia Gold (no, not the singer) from the Ethereum Foundation’s protocol support team, spilled the beans about replacing traditional block execution with ZK-proofs! Validators won’t have to stress about re-running transaction blocks anymore. They can just sit back and check those fancy ZK-proofs instead. Let’s give a round of applause for less work! 👏🙌
