Ethereum's three major highlights this Wednesday: smart contract upgrade proposals, Layer 2 ecosystem divergence, and key ETH price levels

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Ethereum has had quite a busy week. First, the issue of smart contract size limits is expected to be broken—if the EIP-7864 proposal supported by Vitalik Buterin is implemented, it means developers can deploy more complex and flexible contracts, which is definitely a positive for the ecosystem’s application potential.

Looking at the Layer 2 track, the current situation is somewhat polarized. Leading rollups like Base and Arbitrum have absorbed the majority of activity, while smaller networks are clearly falling behind, reflecting a market trend of gradually optimizing resource allocation.

Price-wise, attention is also warranted. ETH faced resistance around $3000 and did not successfully break through. On the technical side, the $2800 range is generally seen as a bottom support level; if the price drops to this point, there could be a battle for dominance. Overall, the next performance will depend on whether it can hold these key levels.

3000 is really stuck. Whether it can break this time depends on whether Vitalik's proposal can be effective. --- Layer 2 segmentation is so severe that small networks might be doomed. --- Will 2800 really hold? It's a bit uncertain. --- If EIP-7864 passes, the contract flexibility could increase significantly. --- After Base and Arbitrum finish eating, only the broth remains. These two are quite aggressive. --- The key is whether it can stabilize at 3000. If it breaks, it's game over. --- Lifting contract restrictions sounds good, but whether it can truly boost the ecosystem depends on subsequent developments. --- Small Rollups being left behind so far, it seems like they are going to be phased out. --- Technical support at 2800, so let's wait and see if it drops or not. --- V神's proposal finally has some action. Developers are going crazy waiting.

Haha, EIP and Layer2 again. Basically, the ecosystem is self-healing. We've been waiting for this day for three years. I think the 2800 defense line is quite solid. The historical cycle theory tells me that every time it drops to this level, it's a good opportunity for accumulation.

Hey, V God is causing trouble again. The contract size breaking the limit is something to pay close attention to. $3000 is being firmly suppressed. Is it really the fate of a complete turnaround? The divergence in Layer2... Base is eating up a lot, and small projects are having a hard time getting in. $2800 is the lifeline; breaking through is the real test. VitalikButerin's proposal means developers can create new opportunities again.

The 3000 resistance level is blocking again. Can it really break this time? --- If this proposal from Vitalik passes, it's a boon for developers. Contract flexibility will immediately improve. --- Headlined Rollup takes the profit, small tokens sip the soup. This is the reality. --- 2800 is a key support. If it can't break through, a rebound is expected. It's a very clear situation. --- With such a clear differentiation in Layer2, ordinary projects still have little chance. --- Once again stuck at 3000, I bet next week will either see a breakthrough or a drop to 2800. --- EIP-7864's ecosystem will truly take off once implemented; right now, it's just a concept. --- The siphon effect between Base and Arbitrum is too strong; other L2s are a bit uncertain. --- The key price level is right; it all depends on who moves first. --- Breaking contract restrictions is the real big event; the price is secondary.

The $3000 card has been around for so long, feels like it's about to break through It's another case of Base and Arbitrum benefiting, small L2s are really suffering If EIP-7864 really passes, that will indeed be a big deal, complex contracts are unlocked If it doesn't drop below 2800, I'll go all in

Here we go again with a fake move, didn't break 3000🤦‍♂️ --- EIP-7864 sounds good, but does anyone actually use it? --- Base and Arb are taking the profits, other L2s are just sipping soup—that's the real situation. --- If 2800 really drops, I’ve got my positions ready. --- What’s the point of contract upgrades? Someone needs to build for it to matter. --- Wait, this time isn’t really a trap to lure more in, right? --- The divergence among L2s is so obvious, the small networks are going to be wiped out. --- If it can’t hold 3000, the technical pattern doesn’t look very good. --- When Vitalik supports me, I know there’s hope. I’ve entered. --- The support at the bottom is just that—support. Don’t think too much, if it drops, keep cutting losses.

ETH is stuck at 3000 again, really, it's so annoying every time.

It's EIP-7864 again, feels like we're waiting for it to be implemented every day. The dominance of major players on Layer 2 is too obvious, small coins really have no future. If 3000 can't break through, it means no one truly believes in it. See you at 2800.
