TechFlow News: On February 3, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media stating that Ethereum Layer 2’s (L2) original “scaling” positioning requires rethinking. He noted that progress toward Stage 2 has been significantly slower than anticipated, while Ethereum’s Layer 1 (L1) itself is undergoing scaling—fees have dropped substantially, and the gas limit is expected to increase dramatically by 2026—meaning L2s should no longer be viewed as Ethereum’s “brand shards.” Buterin suggested L2s instead focus on delivering value beyond scaling, such as privacy features, application-specific efficiency, and non-financial use cases, and should meet at least Stage 1 standards. He also proposed a technical solution involving native rollup precompiles to enhance interoperability and security between L2s and Ethereum, emphasizing that developers should explore innovative functionalities rather than merely extending L1.
