Buterin stresses the significance of scaling the Ethereum layer-1 network while improving layer-2 chains, as focusing solely on L2s could risk the entire ecosystem.
He also highlights the importance of maturing L2-proof systems and enabling easier user navigation in the L2 ecosystem. The Surge roadmap aims to include over 100,000 transactions per second, preserve Ethereum’s core properties, and achieve maximum interoperability between layer-2 (L2) chains.
Buterin suggests solving the blockchain trilemma using data availability sampling and SNARKs.
Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin outlines key objectives for the network’s future development in the second phase, “The Surge”, to improve scalability through rollups.
