ME News update, on April 1 (UTC+8), Tomasz Stanczak, the founder of Nethermind and the former co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, said at EthCC[9], that Ethereum has a solid foundation for research; its current core mission has shifted from technical research to efficient execution and aligning with market needs. Collaboration between protocol teams and application developers needs to be further strengthened to support real-world application demands such as stablecoins, prediction markets, AI integration, and the next generation of wallets. In terms of technical direction, Tomasz proposed: continuously improving data availability through solutions such as Blobs; increasing L1 throughput through protocol upgrades; and deepening interoperability between L2s to improve the user experience in a multi-chain environment. He also mentioned that Nethermind is advancing a Rollup template project called Surge based on the Taiko stack, achieving deep alignment with L1 and native anti-censorship by delegating transaction ordering to Ethereum L1 validators. Tomasz said Ethereum also needs to convey its technical vision more clearly to traditional financial institutions, and enhance ecosystem transparency and certainty by simplifying the roadmap.
