1.There is a problem with Ethereum’s current upgrade process
Developers need to have a long-term commitment to network capacity, otherwise they cannot build on Ethereum.They need to clarify what plans are for the next 5 years.So, I hope we can finally agree on the timeline in the core development process.
2.We wrongly claim that Ethereum L1 cannot scale, and L2 is the only solution
This view is completely “ivory tower” thinking – Vitalik published about it 3 years ago, and with the development of data availability sampling (DAS) and zkEVM technology, these elements are now ready.
Although there are certain restrictions, it is completely feasible to expand Ethereum by 100-1000 times within a few years.This can implement many features that cannot be achieved based on native L1 or other alternative rollups.I think that really pushing this process and stopping finding excuses to not do it is the key to Ethereum’s victory.
3.Not all transactions can be placed on Ethereum L1
Whether the L1’s actual limit is 1000 tps, 100,000 tps, or even 1 million tps, it cannot meet all needs.Therefore, we still need to significantly increase data availability (Data Availability) and create a high-security Ethereum ecological security zone for rollup.These rollups are allies of Ethereum and can use Ether and other Ethereum assets without trust.
But it all has to be done on a truly meaningful scale.We need to reach our current goal of 1 megabytes per second (1MB/s) in 1-2 years instead of 5 years and then move on.I’m currently looking at how to maximize decentralized network data availability sampling (DAS), but adding data availability with higher demands is a good solution before completion with security assumptions with optimistic rollup (aHonest node) the same.
Other data availability protocols are currently developing systems that support GB/s!Ethereum doesn’t have to reach this level, but it’s not enough to reach only 1/1000 at the moment.
Some projects have publicly stated that they will never use Ethereum’s data availability (DA) and publicly advertised that they are backed by Vitalik (which is ironic).Accepting this situation while still claiming that these projects are “aligned with Ethereum” is a lack of ambition.
