ENS is Ethereum’s most successful non-financial application! Buterin predicts: ZK rollups will become mainstream

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin had an in-depth discussion with several ecological participants today to discuss how to improve the technical implementation of Ethereum L2 and its future direction. During the discussion, he first responded to Soul Wallet founder Zeng Jiajun’s view that “we need to share ordering, not intention.” He said: We need an open decentralized protocol (that does not rely on specific operators or governance mechanisms), using Used to quickly move assets from one L2 to another and integrated into the wallet's default sending interface.

Vitalik added that the biggest user experience problem we are currently facing is that the L2 world does not feel “like a unified Ethereum” enough. This is a vast improvement from a year ago, but still far from ideal.

Vitalik recommends that before diving into developing any high-end features, you should first ensure that the basic functionality is implemented. He pointed out:

"A simple way to think about it is: What functions are easy to implement on L1 but are difficult on L2s? Develop cross-L2 standards and infrastructure for these functions.

For example:

• Token transfer

• ENS (Ethereum Domain Name Service)

• ## Key changes to smart contract wallets (whether for individuals or organizations)"

Similarly, Vitalik further stated that this way of thinking also applies to security and decentralization: On L1 What features have been implemented or are close to being implemented, but are still far behind on L2s? He proposed the following example:

• Light client: If you have a light client for L1, you can verify the status of L2.

• Basic Reliability: The network cannot stop running or have weird rollbacks, and Ethereum has only had one serious problem in its 9-year history.

• Proof system: For example, we need more first-stage rollups.

In summary, Vitalik believes that priority should be given to solving basic problems, developing cross-L2 standards and infrastructure, and improving the overall user experience and security, so as to make the L2 ecosystem more unified of Ethereum.

Buterin: ENS is the most successful non-financial application of Ethereum

In addition, researcher Chen Jian said somewhat jokingly: "ENS is really Vitalik's son, and he takes it with him wherever he goes. ” Vitalik responded: ENS is one of our most successful non-financial applications. I don’t know why more people don’t care about it!

As soon as this comment was released, ENS broke through $21 from $17.87 in a short period of time, reaching a maximum of $21.33. It was temporarily trading at $20.4 before the deadline, soaring by more than 40% in the past 24 hours.

Vitalik did express high praise for ENS. In January, he tweeted that ENS was "super important" and emphasized that ENS should remain accessible and popular to all users of the Ethereum network, especially on Ethereum L2. Vitalik believes that all L2 should operate on trustless, Merkle proof-based CCIP resolvers, so that ENS subdomains can be registered, updated, and read directly on the L2 network. At that time, ENS was inspired to surge by 70%.

V God predicts that ZK rollups will become mainstream

In addition, PoS blockchain Tezos engineer @ArthurB said in the discussion that under Optimistic Rollups, shared sorting is not a flashy tool, in fact it is more Like a glorified managed bridge.

In this regard, Vitalik expressed his views on the future of L2: I think that in the next ten years, all rollups will be ZK rollups, and each slot will submit a zone with the final state root to L1 piece. This requires a lot of infrastructure and proof optimization to achieve, but it's the obvious end goal.
