Latest news, folks, Joseph Lubin has proclaimed: Ethereum L1 is the 'anchor' of the future crypto world; other chains should step aside! This is not just street gossip; it’s a prophecy from a co-founder and a big shot at ConsenSys! The Ethereum Layer 1 network will become the main ledger. Ethereum Layer 1 possesses key characteristics: it allows anyone to check, use, and add data or functionality without permission; maintains trustworthy neutrality; has censorship resistance; achieves tamper-proofing and visibility of tampering through punishment mechanisms and transparency; and continues to advance the process of decentralization.

Lubin emphasizes that Ethereum has a top-tier, large community and urges everyone to stay highly vigilant, as there will always be patient and well-resourced participants trying to undermine the system. However, as Ethereum grows and matures, such sabotage will become increasingly difficult. In simple terms: Lubin says that in the future, Ethereum mainnet (L1) will be the 'big brother' of the entire crypto world’s 'ledger'!

Imagine this:

  1. ETH is about to secure its central position! From now on, whether it's Arbitrum, Optimism, or any other chain wanting to facilitate advanced, secure transactions, they will have to periodically return to 'Big Brother' ETH L1 for approval and pay a 'protection fee' (Gas fee). This demand is skyrocketing; how can ETH not be attractive? Once the burning mechanism kicks in, it’s definitely a narrative of 'deflationary gold nugget', brothers! Staking and mining will probably be incredibly competitive, maximizing security; ETH's core position is solid!

  2. Layer 2 is about to take off completely! Big Brother (L1) is responsible for guarding the central army and ensuring the safety of the ledger. So who will handle the front-line battles, applications, and quick profits (low Gas fees, high speed)? It must be Layer 2! Polygon zkEVM, StarkNet, zkSync... these L2 tracks will be intensely competitive, but the opportunities are also huge! In the future, when we play chain games, engage in dog coins, or pursue high-frequency DeFi, the main battlefield will likely be on L2. The value of L2 tokens will depend on who can attract the most users and traffic!

  3. Other public chains (SOL, AVAX, BNB, etc.) are under great pressure! Lubin's statement essentially points at other L1s saying: 'I can handle your functions with my ETH + L2 combo punch, and my underlying security and decentralization are superior!' These chains will either need to find abilities that ETH absolutely cannot achieve (like extreme performance, specific compliance, or super privacy), or... they might really have to consider transforming into 'specialized younger brothers' in the Ethereum ecosystem (application chains or specific L2s).

  • L2 is not perfect yet: many L2 'sequencers' (those in charge of transaction ordering) are still not decentralized enough, and transferring assets across L2 can sometimes be painful. User experience still needs refinement!

  • Other chains are not to be underestimated: dog coins on Solana skyrocketing overnight, Avalanche subnets creating customized solutions... They are also desperately seeking a way out; the competition is far from over!

  • Regulatory scrutiny hits the 'early bird': if ETH really becomes the 'global ledger', it will definitely be the number one target for regulators! The SEC is constantly watching whether ETH is a security; if that bomb explodes, no one will have it easy!

Summary:

If Lubin's prophecy comes true, the landscape of the crypto world will be reshuffled! ETH is the hardest core, L2 is the engine of explosion, and other chains will either find extraordinary skills or... say goodbye to the Jianghu! For us ordinary players:

  • ETH is definitely the core of core configurations; hold on tight!

  • The L2 track is a future gold mine; focus on the leaders and potential stocks, and layout the ecosystem in advance!

  • When playing on other chains, keep a mental note: has their long-term value logic changed?


Hey guys, do you think Lubin's prophecy of 'ETH unification' can come true? Or will the 'lords' like Solana and BNB Chain carve out a bloody path? The key question: which L2 do you think could become the 'leader' of a trillion-dollar ecosystem? Arbitrum? zkSync? Or a dark horse? Let's get the comments section buzzing! Hit that follow button, and next time we’ll dive deep into the most promising L2 leaders; the wealth code might just be hidden in there, don't miss the chance to capitalize!#ETH霸主 $ETH
