Ethereum Foundation Discusses L1 and L2 Vision: L2 Focuses on Differentiated Innovation, L1 Remains Settlement and Liquidity Hub

Techub News reports that the Ethereum Foundation has issued a statement outlining the future ecosystem vision for L1 and L2. The article states that as the ecosystem develops, the main goal of Layer 2 has shifted from scaling Ethereum to providing differentiated features, customized services, innovation, and decentralized control. Ethereum Layer 1 will continue to serve as a permissionless, highly resilient global settlement layer, a shared state layer, and a DeFi liquidity hub, while achieving scalability through zero-knowledge technology. Layer 2 should focus on complementary strategies with Layer 1, creating its own ecosystem through differentiated positioning, and extending Ethereum’s core attributes to more users. The Ethereum Foundation will work to enhance Layer 1 scalability, improve liquidity access efficiency, support Layer 2 in deepening privacy, security, and trustless features, and invest in native Rollup technology to achieve composability. The foundation will also collaborate with L2 Beat and others to monitor Layer 2 security attributes and work with the ecosystem to address sharding issues in multi-chain ecosystems.
