PANews reported on March 24th that the Ethereum Foundation published an article outlining its future ecosystem vision for Layer 1 and Layer 2. The article points out that as the ecosystem develops, the primary goal of Layer 2 has shifted from scaling Ethereum to providing differentiated functionality, customized services, innovation, and decentralized control. Ethereum Layer 1 will continue to serve as a permissionless, highly resilient global settlement layer, a shared state layer, and a DeFi liquidity hub, while achieving orders-of-magnitude scaling through zero-knowledge technology. Layer 2, on the other hand, should focus on a strategy that complements Layer 1, building its own ecosystem through differentiated positioning and extending Ethereum's core attributes to more users.

The Ethereum Foundation will focus on improving Layer 1 scaling capabilities and liquidity access efficiency, supporting Layer 2 in enhancing privacy, security, and trustlessness, and investing in native Rollup technology to achieve synchronous composability. The Foundation will also collaborate with companies like L2Beat to monitor Layer 2 security properties and work with ecosystem partners to address sharding issues in multi-chain ecosystems.
