Deep Tide TechFlow News, on January 8th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media stating that increasing bandwidth is safer than reducing latency. Vitalik pointed out that through PeerDAS (Peer-to-Peer Data Availability Sampling) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), blockchain scalability can be increased by thousands of times, but latency is limited by factors such as the speed of light and node distribution. He believes that Ethereum may achieve a moderate reduction in latency (to the 2-4 second level), but emphasizes that "Ethereum is the heartbeat of the world, not a global game server." Applications requiring faster speeds should adopt off-chain components, which is also one of the reasons why Layer 2 networks (L2s) will continue to play a role even in highly scalable Ethereum.
