Wu Shuo learned that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted a message reaffirming his views on L2, criticizing the practice of simply copying EVM chains and connecting to Ethereum via optimistic bridges, believing this is like forking Compound governance—overly comfortable and stifling imagination. He emphasized that there is no need for more EVM chains or L1s, as Ethereum L1 is scaling and will provide ample block space. Vitalik called for building truly innovative solutions, such as privacy, application-specific efficiency, or ultra-low latency. He expressed support for application chains deeply connected to L1 or "institutional L2" that can bring algorithm transparency.
