In fact, it is hard to say whether Vitalik has been "woken up" recently, but in the conclusion of the Ethereum roadmap just published, there has been a very obvious ideological change. I have repeatedly roast that Ethereum's totally selfless altruism has led L2 to constantly suck blood from the main network, which eventually led to the withdrawal of ETH's core assets behind the scenes and the formation of a vassal separatism. However, these four solutions are completely opposite to the previous ideas, all to strengthen the participation and control of the main network and ETH on the ecology. It is said that Zhou Tianzi wants a glass of wine to release the military power! The first point is to directly agree to consolidate ETH as the main asset of L1+L2s, which sets the tone. ETH is the most important asset of the Ethereum ecosystem, and you can handle the other L2 by yourselves. The second point is to 'encourage' L2 to use ETH as a gas fee and follow the mechanism of EIP1559 for burning deflation, or pledge or donate it, in order to enhance the use of ETH in the ecosystem, which is a practical approach to the first point. The third point, which is also what excites me the most personally, is that Based Rollup has been officially included as a means of closely connecting the mainnet and L2 networks. In theory, Based Rollup can completely solve the problem of L2 liquidity fragmentation and the lack of value capture in the mainnet. However, Vitalik is also very conservative in this point, emphasizing that it is not completely applicable to all L2, after all, there are very complex engineering transformation difficulties and more headache inducing commercial competition here. Currently, the top players in the Based Rollup track are @ pumfer_finance @ pumfer_unifi. We look forward to Puffer standing on the stage in this field. The fourth point is to increase the number of Blob and increase the burning of ETH, thereby increasing the deflation rate. In short, compared to the previous roadmap of Ethereum, these four points have undergone fundamental changes in overall thinking. Vitalik's mind has finally become clearer. Will the era of Ethereum's reform and opening up come 🤔 But please note that V Emperor is still sitting on top, and the only highest decision-maker of the Ethereum Foundation is still him. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!
