TechFlow reports that modular Layer 2 project Caldera recently published a forward-looking article on the future development of Ethereum scaling solutions.
The article outlines a potential blockchain ecosystem困境 by 2035: millions of EVM rollup chains scattered across several dominant rollup frameworks, lacking neutral and seamless connectivity. Each framework resembles a city-state with complex rules. Due to frequent bridge attacks, users tend to remain within their own ecosystems.
Caldera argues that Ethereum currently faces challenges similar to those of the early 2000s internet—difficulty in achieving seamless communication and interoperability between different networks.
The article highlights that each new rollup introduces its own security model, increasing systemic risk; the rollup ecosystem remains isolated, without scalable, neutral cross-framework solutions; and developers struggle to build applications across multiple rollup frameworks simultaneously. Caldera calls for the creation of a connectivity layer between rollup frameworks to enable large-scale composability and interoperability on Ethereum.
