Vitalik Buterin Expresses Support for Native Rollups

According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed a growing preference for native rollups compared to the past. Buterin reflected on his previous opposition to native rollups, which stemmed from the necessity to choose between ZK mode or Optimistic mode for precompilation. At that time, ZK-EVM was not fully developed, and Layer 2 solutions often opted for the latter, which relied on Ethereum's security but required a 2-7 day withdrawal period. This choice weakened Ethereum's composability and led to the popularity of multisig bridges. Buterin noted that the situation is evolving, with Ethereum's timeline for fully adopting ZK at the L1 level aligning with the progress of introducing native rollup precompilation. This alignment is expected to eliminate the core obstacles previously faced. He also mentioned that the community is increasingly viewing 'synchronous composability' as a core value of Layer 2 and is exploring the combination of rollup-based solutions with low-latency pre-confirmation mechanisms. Furthermore, Buterin emphasized that the implementation of native rollup precompilation should not be rushed. He proposed a future scenario where developers building rollups with 'EVM plus minor extensions' could directly reuse the EVM portion of native rollup precompilation. They would only need to introduce custom proof systems for new features, connecting the two through standardized methods.
