Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin tweeted that the original vision of L2 as the main scaling engine is no longer applicable and called for a shift towards specialization. Optimism co-founder Karl Floersch responded by welcoming modular L2 stack development but pointed out that Stage 2 is not yet ready, withdrawal windows are long, and cross-chain tools are insufficient, supporting native rollup pre-compiled contracts. Arbitrum co-founder Steven Goldfeder emphasized that scaling remains the core value of L2, noting that Arbitrum and Base handle over 1000 TPS during high activity periods, far exceeding Ethereum, and warned that if Ethereum is not friendly to rollups, institutions may turn to independent L1s. Jesse Pollak, head of Base, stated that L1 scaling benefits the ecosystem, and L2 cannot just be "cheaper Ethereum"; Base focuses on user onboarding and applications, account abstraction, privacy, and other areas of specialization. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson hinted that Starknet already aligns with a specialized positioning. (Cointelegraph)
