Technology & Strategy - Ethereum is transitioning into a zk chain, differentiating itself from other blockchains [1] - Ethereum is employing zk technology for maximum scaling and decentralization, avoiding shortcuts [2] - Ethereum's approach is highly ambitious and unique [3] - Ethereum is upgrading to 2nd generation cryptography [4] Scaling & Infrastructure - Layer 1 (L1) will support global DeFi with large blocks (10 thousand TPS) and nodes that can run on a phone [4] - Layer 2 (L2) will handle other applications, including general-purpose L2s like Base/Arb and appchain L2s like Lighter [4] - Other blockchains are scaling with nodes requiring data centers [4] - Bitcoin is using 1st generation cryptography [2]
