Ethereum's Role as a Global Blockchain Network Foundation Discussed by ZKsync CEO

According to PANews, Alex Gluchowski, founder of ZKsync and CEO of Matter Labs, recently shared insights on the X platform regarding Ethereum's position as the 'World Computer.' He emphasized that Ethereum maintains product-market fit with downstream applications like decentralized Nasdaq and SWIFT, asserting that the Ethereum network itself is the true moat. Gluchowski described Ethereum as the foundation of the value internet, highlighting its core characteristic of credible neutrality. He suggested that if Ethereum continues to hold its status as the World Computer, value will flow directly or indirectly to ETH. However, he noted that similar to the internet not operating on a single server, the value internet as a global transaction and payment infrastructure will not run on a single chain. The future of Ethereum, according to Gluchowski, lies in its role as a secure foundational layer for a vast, decentralized blockchain network. He concluded that Ethereum will only succeed when it leverages its core strengths effectively.
