Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that Layer-2 chains are an outdated approach, signaling skepticism toward the current L2 scaling model. His public comment on X may influence ongoing debates around Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, encouraging developers and users to reassess reliance on L2s versus alternative strategies, though no protocol changes or timelines were announced.
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Its native cryptocurrency, ether (ETH), is used to pay transaction fees and to secure the network via staking. Ethereum is the leading Layer‑1 for DeFi, NFTs and a large ecosystem of Layer‑2 networks and developer tools. The protocol is community‑driven and supported by organizations like the Ethereum Foundation and thousands of contributors worldwide.
