Vitalik Buterin Highlights Ethereum's 2025 Development Focus

According to Foresight News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin addressed the future development of Ethereum at the ETHGlobal Taipei event. He emphasized the importance of maintaining Layer 1 (L1) scalability, even as most activities are expected to occur on Layer 2 (L2) solutions. Buterin outlined several scenarios where L2 applications still rely on L1. These include ensuring censorship resistance, transferring assets between L2 networks, managing large-scale exits from L2, issuing assets on L1, utilizing Keystore wallets, and submitting proofs from L2. His remarks underscore the ongoing need to balance advancements in L2 with the foundational capabilities of L1, as Ethereum continues to evolve in 2025.
