Vitalik: Call for building true innovation rather than replication, and maintain consistency in the connection with Ethereum Vitalik Buterin stated that currently, a large number of new EVM chains are simply copying the established template of "EVM chain+optimistic cross chain bridge with a one week delay", or building so-called "L1 like chains" that have no bridging relationship with Ethereum. This low-level repetitive construction is consuming the innovation potential of the entire industry. He called on developers to shift towards building solutions with real technological differences, such as privacy protection, application specific execution layers, or ultra-low latency networks, rather than continuing to manufacture technological "replicas". In addition, Buterin emphasized that in the matter of "association with Ethereum", the external perception is consistent with the internal essence, that is, "the surface and the inside are consistent". He clearly distinguished between two valuable technological paths: One is the Rollup application chain that heavily relies on the Ethereum mainnet for settlement and data verification, truly achieving composability; The second is a verifiable on chain system that provides algorithm transparency for traditional institutions through on chain validity proofs (such as STARK proofs), although it does not have decentralization and trust free features. The core viewpoint can be summarized as follows: the industry should return to creating fundamental technological value, while ensuring that the "Ethereum ecosystem" claimed by the project can truly reflect its underlying technological dependencies.
