ETH Scaling Roadmap: Vitalik Defends Base Layer Neutrality
The framing lands as Layer-2s process most of Ethereum's volume: the rollup-vs-base-layer neutrality debate is now the live policy fight for ETH's settlement premium.

The framing lands as Layer-2s process most of Ethereum's volume: the rollup-vs-base-layer neutrality debate is now the live policy fight for ETH's settlement premium.
The result makes Robinhood the primary revenue driver among the largest L2s, while Base delivered a steadier but significantly lower daily result.
The L2 is paying the toll in ETH and settling back to mainnet, but a real re-rating of the asset still hinges on whether holders keep treating it as a productive yield-bearing reserve.
A 60x jump from a network that already runs on a research-first cadence is the kind of headline that ages well or ages badly depending on whether the deliverable is a benchmark slide or mainnet code.
The successor L1 pairs throughput targets already common in alt-L1 marketing with a sub-50ms preconfirmation window, a UX-focused guarantee that cuts the perceived wait for a swap or a transfer to a…
The next three-to-four-year plan pushes recursive STARKs, post-quantum cryptography, and 100 TB state capacity, positioning Ethereum for a fundamentally cheaper and longer-lived base layer.
Beryl compresses Base's standard withdrawal window from seven days to five and ships B20 as a precompiled — not contract-based — token standard aimed at regulated issuers.
Ethereum developers have entered the final development phase of Glamsterdam, the network's next major protocol upgrade…
Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin frames the ZK pivot as the unlock for ETH at $10,000, arguing scaling the base layer is the precondition for everything else Ethereum wants to be.
Bitwise's NEAR ETP is pulling fresh inflows, Hayes tagged the token as part of crypto's 'holy trinity' of altcoins, and a June resharding upgrade lands as the L1 leans into AI and privacy narratives.
Zero Network, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling protocol, has announced it is winding down operations — the latest in a…
Ethereum L2 fees have dropped below one cent and Optimism and Arbitrum hit the Stage 1 security milestone, finally making on-chain payments economically viable for the first time.
The proposal reframes scaling as a privacy primitive, not a throughput race — letting Ethereum add capacity without rewriting L1 economics or trusting operators with user intent.
