TechFlow news: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin praised recent developments in the Ethereum ecosystem on social media. Buterin highlighted significant progress across multiple key areas:
-
L2 network transaction fees have dropped below $0.01;
-
Optimism and Arbitrum, two EVM-compatible L2 networks, have entered their first phase;
-
Cross-L2 wallet user experience has greatly improved;
-
ZK tools have become more powerful and mature, simplifying application development;
-
Second-generation privacy tools are emerging, such as 0xbow.io;
-
The identity, reputation, and credential ecosystem has grown stronger and is seeing increasing adoption;
-
Advancements in STARK technology have enhanced long-term security and decentralization prospects;
-
The roadmap for account abstraction and block building has become clearer;
-
Staking decentralization remains stable, debunking the claim that "PoS is more centralized than PoW."
Buterin emphasized that these advances have made Ethereum's fundamentals exceptionally strong. He also stated that the next step will focus on standardizing chain-specific addresses, chain-specific ENS, and the ERC-3668 light client.
