Vitalik mentioned in his article "Simplifying L1" that Ethereum's goal is to become the world's ledger, without referring to a world computer this time. From a narrative perspective, the world ledger is easier to understand and more vivid than the world computer. The world ledger is designed to account for the entire world, capable of storing global assets and records, becoming the foundational layer for finance, governance, and high-value data verification. In the long run, Vitalik's direction is good and clear, painting a beautiful blueprint for Ethereum.

However, if we look at the most pressing issues at the moment, the highest priority is to regain the dominance of L1, which means reclaiming the leadership of L1 and addressing the issue of L2 liquidity fragmentation. Only then can we win valuable time for subsequent strategic changes.
