Vitalik Buterin's Level 2 Warning: Ether's Value May Decrease

Vitalik Buterin, who shared his thoughts on the Ethereum network every week with his blog posts, this time addressed the topic of scalability. Stating that decentralization and robustness must be maintained on the Ethereum mainnet, Buterin warned that the increase in the scalability gap between the second layer of networks may devalue Ether as a price.

Vitalik Buterin stated that the long-term goal on Ethereum is 100 thousand transactions per second on the first and second layer networks. In the blog post he shared today, Buterin stated that Ethereum's roadmap will remain tied to "sharding" and "rollup"-focused layer 2 protocols.

"Decentralization and power must be protected..."

Writing that they still have some difficulties in this regard, Buterin said: "Our goal is to complete the 'rollup'-focused roadmap and solve the problems. However, while we solve these problems, we also need to protect the elements that make the first layer of Ethereum decentralized and robust," he said. Buterin also called the next stage of the roadmap "The Surge."
