[Ethereum Foundation Announces Formation of Platform Team, Aiming to Build a Unified Platform Leveraging Ethereum L1+L2 Synergies] BlockBeats News, February 19 – The Ethereum Foundation has announced the formation of the Platform Team, aiming to build the most robust Ethereum platform possible, enabling the L1 and L2 layers to better support users, applications, and all organizations built on Ethereum. The goal is to improve the relationship between the L1 and L2 layers, creating a mutually reinforcing system across all levels. The foundation stated that since the rollup-centric roadmap was first proposed five years ago, a chain ecosystem has developed around Ethereum's L1 layer. The early rollup mindset has been replaced by differentiated L2 networks, each with unique and valuable economic systems, thereby extending Ethereum's core features to millions of users. As Ethereum continues to mature, the foundation believes that more measures must be taken to build a unified platform that fully leverages the unique advantages of the Ethereum system (L1 + L2). This includes enhancing the value proposition of L2, optimizing the adoption-driving mechanisms of L2 to create broader value for Ethereum, guiding the ecosystem toward a more secure and permissionless architecture, and simplifying the process for users and institutions to adopt Ethereum. More importantly, building a robust Ethereum means driving technological improvements to strengthen and enhance Ethereum's core features and its unique advantages.
