Vitalik Buterin said on X Platform: "I think we need to supplement the 'Protocol Guild/Guild' (referring to the previously proposed open, decentralized protocol for transferring assets between various L2s) with the 'Basic Infrastructure Guild'. This may cover: high-level languages, cross-L2 token bridge protocols, ZK-EVM, light clients, portal networks and extensions.
Anything without tokens, without operators, without governance, is not 'part of L1', but has value for the entire ecosystem.
Set standards that these things are ecosystem-wide public goods, not products of individual companies - although like Linux, individual companies should absolutely be welcome to participate and even take the initiative.
The Infrastructure Guild will serve as a funder and legitimizer of the entire ecosystem. It is good not to legitimize individual solutions. But I do want to legitimize the category of 'tokenless/no governance/no operator' infrastructure and insist that things in this category are superior to centralized or token-governed 'infrastructure'."
