Layer 2 Interoperability - Ethereum Foundation aims to enhance Layer 2 interoperability [1] - The goal is to create a unified experience across Layer 2s, making them feel like a single chain [1] Technology & Framework - The focus is on developing an interoperability framework for Layer 2 solutions [1]

Emerging Technologies in Crypto - The industry is most excited about DeFi [1] - NFTs are a key area of interest [1] - Layer 2 solutions are generating excitement [1] - AI in crypto is a significant focus [1]

Ethereum Upgrades - Ethereum 正在探索 Fusaka 和 Glamsterdam 两次硬分叉 [1] - Fusaka 的 PeerDAS 升级有望将 Ethereum 的数据容量提升 16 倍，且无需增加验证者存储，从而解锁更便宜、更快速的 Layer 2 [1] - Glamsterdam 致力于通过 EPBS 和 Fossil 实现不可阻挡的结算，加强审查抵抗 [1] Technical Aspects - Fusaka 旨在通过 PeerDAS 升级提高数据容量 [1] - Glamsterdam 致力于通过 EPBS（Enshrined Proposer Builder Separation，内置提议者构建者分离）和 Fossil 来增强审查抵抗 [1] Community & Development - 社区反馈影响着 Ethereum 的发展路线图 [1] - 讨论了更短的 slot 时间和验证者用户体验 (UX) [1]

Ethereum Ecosystem - Cointelegraph presents a discussion on Ethereum's challenges and competition from new Layer 1 blockchains [1] - The discussion will also cover Ethereum's relationship with Layer 2 solutions [1] Event Details - The event, titled "The Fight for Ethereum's Soul," will premiere on CHAINREACTION X space [1] - The event is scheduled for TODAY at 1 PM UTC [1] - The event will feature @gazza_jenks & @rkbaggs [1]

Layer 2 Scaling Solutions - Ethereum layer 2 solutions have reduced transaction costs by 10-20x, leading to over 85% of Ethereum transactions occurring on these cheaper layer 2s [2][3] - Base, incubated by Coinbase, dominates layer 2 activity, accounting for over 50% of active users, transactions, and revenue [6] - Competition in the layer 2 space is increasing with Kraken announcing INC, Robinhood launching its own layer 2 on the Arbitrum stack, and Securityize partnering with Athena to launch Converge [6][7] - Worldcoin is also building its layer 2 on the Optimism stack [8] Decentralized Applications (dApps) and Exchanges (DEXs) - Spot volume of decentralized applications has more than doubled, approaching 20% of the market share compared to centralized counterparts [9] - Decentralized exchanges are 5-10x more efficient than centralized exchanges, achieving similar volume with significantly fewer employees [11] - Decentralized exchange volume has continued to increase, reaching 25-30% of centralized exchange volume [12] Solana's Performance and Developer Activity - Solana has experienced a significant turnaround, achieving 4-5x greater transaction throughput than Ethereum and its layer 2s combined, reaching almost 800 TPS [14] - Solana has surpassed Ethereum in attracting net new crypto developers [15] - Solana is focused on improving its base layer with upgrades like Fire Dancer and Alpenlow [19]

L2 Strategy & Tokenomics - L2s face challenges in generating sufficient fees to buy back enough ETH, suggesting a need for alternative strategies like selling L2 tokens [1] - Selling L2 tokens can help L2s acquire ETH for their treasury [1] - L2 tokens are sold for ETH until assets under management align with the L2 token market cap, making them investible [1] Treasury Management & DAO - The treasury, containing ETH acquired by L2s, is owned by L2 token holders (e.g., ARB, OP) [1] - Efficient management of the ETH treasury within a DAO model is a key consideration [1] Strategic Imperatives - L2s should compete to own ETH, the asset they are building on [1] - The industry emphasizes the importance of L2s owning ETH to prevent Wall Street from acquiring it all [1] - ETH is viewed as a world reserve asset [1]
