According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on January 24, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin published a blog post discussing Ethereum's scaling strategy for 2025 and beyond. He emphasized Ethereum's unique advantages in both the principles of decentralization and practical application value, stating that the success of Layer 2 (L2) confirms the development philosophy of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Vitalik pointed out two major challenges currently facing the network: scaling capacity and heterogeneity issues (including standards, interoperability, proof system security, user experience, and economic models). He believes that abandoning L2 and reverting to the 2016-style Layer 1 (L1) sharding solution would be a mistake, advocating for increased investment in interoperability and areas like ZK-EVM.
Specific plans include: increasing data block capacity, enhancing interoperability and security, and optimizing the economic model. Vitalik remains optimistic about the future development of Ethereum and emphasizes the continued commitment to the L2 scaling route.
