Vitalik published an article discussing Ethereum's L1 and L2 scaling strategies.

According to BlockBeats news, on January 24, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a blog post stating that Ethereum's goal remains the same as it was on day one: to build a globally accessible, censorship-resistant, permissionless blockchain. After ten years of effort, combining both technical and social attributes, Ethereum has demonstrated another important characteristic: it provides useful services to people and is able to scale this effectively.

We need to continue building on Ethereum's technical and social attributes, as well as its practical utility. I want to focus on a specific impact that is very important for Ethereum users in the short to medium term: Ethereum's scaling strategy.

Today, Layer 2 (L2) faces two major challenges: scalability and heterogeneity challenges. One possible shortcut to scaling is to abandon L2, performing all operations through Layer 1 (L1) while significantly increasing the gas limit (which can be achieved through multiple shards or by implementing it on a single shard). However, this approach would overly compromise many of the advantages of Ethereum's current social structure, which is highly effective in simultaneously achieving different forms of research, development, and ecosystem-building culture. Therefore, we should stick to the original path, continuing to scale primarily through L2, but ensuring that L2 truly fulfills its commitments.

Native Rollups are still an early-stage concept. A lot of active thinking is still needed, especially regarding how to maximize the flexibility of native Rollup precompiled contracts.

Now is the time to double down on our efforts. There are still many areas that require active thinking and brainstorming. The future of Ethereum depends on the active participation of each of us.
