Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposes leveraging Ethereum’s layer-1 blockchain as a foundation for layer-2 solutions including Celo, aiming to significantly improve scalability and ecosystem adoption.
Buterin emphasizes optimizing transaction sequencing and validator operations while utilizing Ethereum’s established security layer, enabling developers to streamline L2 efficiency without compromising core blockchain principles. This approach encourages balanced evolution between Ethereum’s foundational layer and specialized L2 networks.
The demonstrated success of Celo’s transition from standalone layer-1 to Ethereum-secured layer-2 underscores practical benefits, accelerating ecosystem growth and adoption rates through enhanced technical synergy.
Buterin envisions more layer-1 networks adopting Ethereum-backed layer-2 frameworks in the future, fostering a decentralized ecosystem with improved sustainability and accessibility for global users.
